• Shift toward allogenic therapies.

5. What market segments are covered in the report?

• The global market for cell therapy processing is segmented by offering type, application, and region.

6. Which offering segment will be dominant through 2030?

• The products segment is expected to dominate in the offering type segment through 2030, as it holds the maximum share in the market, and with growing demand for cell therapies it is likely to increase along with other growing segments, software and services. Although manufacturing is shifting from manual to automated processes, the demand for raw materials and instruments continues to rise in line with the increasing processing volumes. Recently, there has been increasing approval of cell therapies. To date, seven CAR-T cell therapies have been approved globally. Cell therapies approved in 2024 include Ryoncil (remestemcel-L-rknd) from Mesoblast and Tecelra (afamitresgene autoleucel) from Adaptimmune. In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory bodies have approved an increasing number of CAR T and other cell therapies, indicating growing demand for these therapies. According to the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, (2025) (Q2) clinical pipeline analysis, there are promising cell therapies in the late stage of development and are likely to submit Biologics License Applications (BLAs) for FDA approval. Thus, the clinical and commercial development in cell therapies is expected to drive the products segment over the forecast period.
