Industry Overview
Gene editing market, valued at $4,852 million in 2024, grew to $5,245 million in 2025 and is projected to expand at a robust CAGR of 8.5% between 2025 and 2035, reaching an estimated value of $11,870 million by the end of the forecast period. The increasing digitalization of healthcare infrastructure has been contributing to the global market growth of gene editing. Gene editing is a revolutionary biotechnology that enables precise modifications to DNA, offering transformative potential across healthcare, agriculture, and research. Researchers are looking into using gene-editing as a treatment for a variety of diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, AIDS, and Alzheimer's, to rare genetic disorders such as muscular dystrophy. This technique makes it easier for scientists to alter the fundamental components of life. The industry's momentum is further fueled by growing private investment and government support, especially in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific. For instance, in December 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two milestone treatments, Casgevy and Lyfgenia, representing the first cell-based gene therapies for the treatment of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in patients 12 years and older. Casgevy is the first FDA-approved treatment to utilize a type of novel genome editing technology, making an innovative advancement in the field of gene therapy.
Market Dynamics
Impact of Trade Tensions on the Gene Editing Market
Ongoing trade tensions between major global powers such as the United States, China, and the European Union are increasingly affecting the gene editing market. For instance, U.S. tariffs on biotechnology tools and genetic sequencing equipment, many of which are imported from China, have increased the cost of lab technologies used in gene editing research and development. Similarly, retaliatory trade policies and regulatory hurdles imposed by the EU and China have disrupted cross-border collaborations and slowed the global movement of gene-editing materials and expertise.
In regions such as Asia-Pacific, where gene editing is increasingly expanding in agriculture and healthcare, reliance on imported genomic tools and CRISPR-related technologies makes them vulnerable to price increases and supply chain delays. Trade barriers can hinder research progress and limit access to cutting-edge technologies, particularly in emerging markets where local production capacity is still under development.
Overall, these geopolitical challenges are prompting biotech companies and research institutions to diversify their supply chains, localize production, and forge new international partnerships. Continued support from national governments, such as India’s genome editing guidelines and public funding initiatives, or the U.S. government's investment in the Safe Genes program, is important for sustaining innovation and ensuring that gene editing technologies remain accessible and affordable across borders.
CRISPR Technology to Hold a Significant Share in the Market
Based on technology, CRISPR holds a significant share, attributed to the major advantages over its alternatives, such as TALENs and ZFN. CRISPR has become a powerful tool in genetic engineering that helps researchers to modify genes with better precision and efficiency. The discovery of CRISPR has had a profound impact on various scientific fields, from medicine and agriculture to basic research and biotechnology. CRISPR gene editing technology has led to various significant advancements across various fields. For instance, in May 2025, a child diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder was successfully treated with a customized CRISPR gene editing therapy by a team at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Penn Medicine. Another notable achievement includes Precision gene editing, treatment of genetic diseases, cancer therapies, functional genomics, and agricultural advancements, among others.
Market Segmentation
The global gene editing market is segmented into drug discovery and development and diagnostics. The drug discovery and development segment occupies the largest market share. This can be attributed to the fact that gene editing technologies, especially CRISPR, are being widely used for the identification of novel drug targets and understanding the genetic basis of a patient's disease. The utilization of genome editing technologies for diagnostics is expected to increase over the years, owing to the potential of these technologies in the early screening/diagnosis of genetic and chronic diseases.
Regional Outlook
The global gene editing market is further divided by region, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
North America holds the Largest Share in the Global Gene Editing Market
The North American gene editing market holds the largest share of the market.
