Global T-Cell therapy Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By End User (Hospitals and Cancer Treatment Centers), By Indication (Lymphoma, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and Others), By Therapy Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

Market Report Description

The Global T-Cell therapy Market size is expected to reach $9.2 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 17.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia is the growing indication type of T-Cell Therapy because of the increasing prevalence of multiple myeloma and the increased research & development. Therefore, acute lymphocytic leukemia is anticipated to generate more than 35% share of the market by 2030. For example, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), presently, there are 160,000 new cases of MM per year, with 106,000 deaths. 10% of all diagnosed hematological cancers are multiple myeloma, which has gained clinical attention due to major improvements in medical care.

For instance, according to Cancer Australia, there are expected to be 2,625 additional instances of multiple myeloma diagnosed in Australia in 2022. The same source estimates that at 85, a person will have a 1 in 111 chance of receiving a diagnosis with multiple myeloma. The expansion of T-cell therapies is also being aided by the rising number of approvals. For instance, the FDA expedited the approval of teclistamab-cqyv (Tecvayli, Janssen Biotech, Inc.), the first bispecific BCMA-directed CD3 T-cell engager, in October 2022 for adults with relapsed or refractory (r/r) multiple myeloma.

The major strategies followed by the market participants are Partnerships as the key developmental strategy to keep pace with the changing demands of end users. For instance, In May, 2023, Amgen entered into collaboration with TScan Therapeutics, Inc. to leverage TScan's proprietary target discovery platform, TargetScan, to identify the antigens recognized by T cells in patients with Crohn's disease and enable the company to develop first-in-class therapeutics to address unmet medical needs. Additionally, In May, 2023, Janssen Biotech, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, teamed up with Cellular Biomedicine Group Inc. to enhance its portfolio in B-cell malignancies and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and commercialization capabilities to deliver best-in-class cell therapies.

KBV Cardinal Matrix - Market Competition Analysis

In January, 2022, Pfizer signed a research collaboration and license agreement with Dren Bio to concentrate on the discovery and development of therapeutic bispecific antibodies for select oncology targets utilizing Dren Bio’s proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engager and Phagocytosis Platform. Companies such as Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Inc., Novartis AG are some of the key innovators in the Market.

Market Growth Factors

Rising number of initiatives gaining more international government support

Increased government as well as nonprofit organization efforts to treat hematological malignancies are predicted to improve the market opportunity. For instance, two nonprofit organizations, the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and the Lazarex Cancer Foundation, committed their resources to make cancer clinical trials more accessible to patients in February 2023. Similarly, the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) supports cutting-edge research and the creation of novel, effective lymphoma therapies to end this illness. As a result, rising government support is anticipated to boost demand for T-cell therapies and propel market growth.

Growing number of research and development in T-cell therapies

Numerous clinical trials are still being conducted, and CAR T-cell research is progressing quickly. Researchers' discovery of novel tumor cell antigens that potentially make suitable CAR T- cell targets has contributed to some of this increase. Although the only two antigens that have FDA approval for CAR T-cell therapies are CD19 and BCMA, new CAR T-cell treatments have been created that target additional antigens frequently seen in blood malignancies, including treatments that target multiple antigens simultaneously. The application of CAR T to solid tumors, which are present in most cancer patients, will mark a turning point in the field. Hence, the increasing R&D in developing T-cell therapies effective in most cancer cases is aiding in expanding the market.

Market Restraining Factors

Issues related to high cost and strict regulations

Numerous problems, notably the high cost of T-cell therapy, are impeding the market expansion of this treatment. Even though multiple myelomas, as well as other blood cancers, are on the rise everywhere and are particularly prevalent in developing nations like Asia, there are several barriers hindering the general use of these innovative treatments. One of these is the low treatment rates in poor countries due to the expensive costs of some medicines. Despite all the attention surrounding these treatments, less than half of those who receive them survive for a long time. These elements present a challenge to its wide adoption and restrict patient access.

Car T-Cell Therapy Outlook

The CAR T-cell therapy segment is further classified into axicabtagene ciloleucel, tisagenlecleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, and others. The axicabtagene ciloleucel segment acquired the largest revenue share in the T-cell therapy market in 2022. This medication is intended to treat adult patients with follicular lymphoma or specific types of large B-cell lymphoma who had either relapsed or failed to improve after receiving at least two different forms of systemic therapy. Additionally, it is being researched for the treatment of several cancers like lymphoma. The second most prevalent form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), follicular lymphoma (FL), makes up about 30% of all lymphomas. Therefore, the demand for these medications is increasing.

Indication Outlook

By indication, the market is divided into lymphoma, acute lymphocytic leukemia, and others. The acute lymphocytic leukemia segment garnered a remarkable growth rate in the market in 2022. The development of adoptive cell transfer therapy for treating disorders, which are frequently more challenging to treat with conventional medicines, is expected to garner increased interest. Additionally, recent developments in T-cell therapy technology, including TCR-based, have demonstrated encouraging outcomes in managing multiple myeloma and melanoma.

Therapy Type Outlook

Based on therapy type, the market is characterized into CAR T-cell therapy and T-cell Receptor (TCR)-based. The CAR T-cell therapy segment garnered the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. The increase in clinical studies using CAR-T therapy and the increasing involvement of the market's top companies is responsible for the segment's rise. Many new companies and academic institutions are conducting clinical trials for CAR-T therapy solutions for various indications. Improvements in its manufacture have led to an increase in the utilization of CAR-T procedures in the treatment of various malignancies.

End User Outlook

Based on end user, the market is segmented into hospitals and cancer treatment centers. The hospitals segment procured the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. Due to its established infrastructure and cutting-edge medical facilities, which are required for T-cell treatment, the hospital segment is growing. Additionally, an increase in the number of patients admitted, a rise in the number of cases of multiple myeloma, and the presence of skilled medical personnel in these facilities, which enables better patient services, are increasing the preference for hospitals among patients.
