Executive Summary
Summary:
Cell and gene therapy (CGT) is emerging as an essential tool for safeguarding human health. Techniques such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy have emerged as ways to treat many cancers. dThe promise of gene therapy using technologies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) is being realized in clinical trials. Therapies are being scaled up to treat lifethreatening The global CDMO market was valued at $128 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0% to reach approximately $191.6 billion by the end of 2029.
The CDMO sector is dynamic and offers service providers a wealth of opportunities for expansion. As the CDMO sector is trending toward consolidation, CDMO businesses are shifting focus to become one-stop shops or integrated pharmaceutical service providers.
With comprehensive services covering the whole drug development and manufacturing process, CDMOs
are essential to the pharmaceutical industry. What distinguishes CDMOs from other service providers is
this end-to-end support. A CDMO can offer services like pre-formulation and formulation development
in the early phases of drug development. After the drug formulation is created, the CDMO can help with
stability testing as well. A CDMO can supply clinical trial materials once the drug enters the clinical trial
stage. These materials consist of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) that will be given to
patients throughout the study and the paperwork required to comply with regulatory requirements.
Ultimately, a CDMO can increase production from clinical trial quantities to commercial-scale quantities
after the drug is approved for marketing. They can also manage the final product's packaging and
delivery.

diseases such as cancer and rare gene-based diseases. As these therapies come to the fore,
a new market for tools to develop these therapies using standard methodologies is emerging. CGT uses
cells and genetic material to fight diseases. Cell therapy involves the transplantation of healthy human
cells into a patient's body to replace or repair diseased or damaged tissue or cells. Gene therapy
modifies a patient's genetic material. These are overlapping fields. Some products are developed using
both cell and gene therapies. Tools and reagents are required to develop cell and gene therapies.
