Supporting your cell and gene therapy manufacturing process

Curing diseases instead of merely treating symptoms – that’s the transformative promise of cell and gene therapies (CGTs). From autologous therapies like CAR-T cells to allogeneic cell therapies, the market is growing at a rapid pace. While most process steps in manufacturing are still performed manually today, biopharmaceutical manufacturers need to prepare now for commercial production. Syntegon is here to support you with matching equipment and seamless support throughout your product and project lifecycle.

Facts and figures

Cell and gene therapies – a rapidly growing market


With hundreds of cell and gene therapies in clinical trials, the CGT market is one of the most dynamic in the current pharmaceutical landscape. According to GlobalData, analysts forecast it will grow with an average of 40% p.a. between 2024 and 2030.

Of the more than 31,000 injectable products currently on the market (as of March 2025), biologics represent 12%. However, the picture shifts significantly when looking at the clinical pipeline: biologics now make up around 84% of the approximately 6,500 injectable therapies in development. Of these biologics, 34% fall under the category of cell and gene therapies. This group can be further divided into three segments: cell therapies (35%), gene therapies (16%), and gene-modified therapies (49%).

One of the main obstacles to the market adoption of cell and gene therapies is their high cost. Treatments such as CAR-T cell therapies often amount to several hundred thousand US dollars per patient, while altogether prices for CGTs can be as high as 4 million USD per treatment. These figures primarily reflect the substantial costs associated with development and manufacturing.

A major cost driver is the reliance on manual production processes. To reduce expenses and improve accessibility, scaling up and automating manufacturing is essential. This is key to making CGTs more cost-effective and facilitating broader patient access. A challenge that we at Syntegon are happy to tackle together with you.
