Theme: Exploring Breakthrough Cell & Gene Therapies and Future Insights in China from R&D to Commercialization

The world has witnessed the booming of gene and cell therapy (GCT) in these years. CGT is dubbed as the future industry that is expected to bring hope to cancer patients and is deemed as the next growth driver of biopharmaceutics industry.

In recent years, China’s cell and gene therapy (CGT) industry has developed substantially, contributing to around half of the registered CGT trials worldwide with some world-class breakthroughs. China ranked second only after the USA in cancer cell therapies pipeline numbers. According to the publisher, China cell and gene therapy market size is expected to record a CAGR of 20.2% during 2023-2027 to reach US$2.644 billion by 2027, increasing from US$1.053 billion in 2023. Over the last five years, the sector has recorded a CAGR of 25.7% to reach US$0.837 billion in 2022.

Although CGT market in China is flourishing, challenges related to clinical application, product specifications, CMC, quality control, comparability study, potent assay still exist and need to be addressed. Read more…
