What Are the Key Drivers of the Pharmaceutical Lipid-Based Excipients Market?
The rise in gene therapy is expected to propel the growth of the pharmaceutical lipid-based excipients market going forward. Gene therapy is a medical technique that involves modifying or manipulating a person's genes to treat or prevent disease. The rise in gene therapy is due to advancements in delivery systems, as they enable safe, efficient, and targeted transport of genetic material into cells. Pharmaceutical lipid-based excipients enhance gene therapy by enabling efficient delivery systems, ensuring stability and targeted transport of genetic material. They improve therapeutic outcomes by protecting nucleic acids and facilitating cellular uptake, advancing the effectiveness of modern treatments. For instance, in December 2024, according to American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT), a US-based non-profit medical and scientific organization, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 6 gene therapy products in 2023, up from five approvals in 2022. Therefore, the rise in gene therapy is driving the growth of the pharmaceutical lipid-based excipients market.
