Despite its vast potential, the genome editing market is not without controversy. Ethical debates and regulatory uncertainty continue to shape its development, especially in areas involving human genetics.

One of the most discussed ethical issues is germline editing, where changes to DNA can be passed on to future generations. The 2018 announcement of gene-edited babies in China sparked global outrage and led to renewed calls for strict regulations. Many countries have banned or heavily restricted germline editing for this reason.

According to CoherentMI, genome editing market is estimated to be valued at USD 4.40 Bn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 10.22 Bn by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% from 2025 to 2032.

Somatic gene editing, which targets non-reproductive cells, is more widely accepted. However, even here, concerns exist around equity, consent, and long-term safety. The question remains: who gets access to these powerful therapies

Competitive overview of Genome Editing Market

The major players operating in the Genome Editing Market include CRISPR Therapeutics, Editas Medicine, Intellia Therapeutics, Beam Therapeutics, Caribou Biosciences, Arcturus Therapeutics, Century Therapeutics, Graphite Bio, Prime Medicine, and Vor Biopharma

The Genome Editing Market also faces complex regulatory environments. In the U.S., the FDA oversees gene therapy trials, but in agriculture, the USDA and EPA are also involved. Europe has adopted a more cautious stance, often delaying the approval of edited crops or treatments due to public pressure.
