Global CRISPR Market Size, Share, Growth, and Industry Trends Forecast to 2031 | USD 6.12 Billion Opportunity Fueled by Drug Discovery and Advanced Gene Editing
Dublin, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "CRISPR Market: Global Forecast to 2031" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global CRISPR market is projected to grow from USD 3.48 billion in 2026 to USD 6.12 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period. Growth is supported by the expanding adoption of CRISPR-based genome editing across drug discovery, functional genomics, cell and gene therapy, genetic disease research, molecular diagnostics, precision medicine, and agriculture.
Advancements in base editing, prime editing, RNA editing, and high-fidelity CRISPR systems continue to broaden the commercial and research potential of genome-editing technologies. Demand is also increasing for precise, scalable, and reproducible workflows that enable pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, academic institutes, and research organizations to accelerate genomic research and therapeutic development.
CRISPR kits & enzymes to record the highest growth
The CRISPR kits & enzymes segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Market expansion is being driven by demand for ready-to-use genome-editing reagents and enzymes across research and genome-engineering workflows. These products support guide RNA-based editing, gene knockout, gene activation, editing validation, and the development of advanced genome-editing systems.
Adoption of high-throughput screening, functional genomics, and next-generation editors is increasing the need for specialized CRISPR kits and enzymes. Continued innovation in high-fidelity nucleases, base editors, prime editors, and engineered editing systems is expected to strengthen demand for advanced products.
Drug discovery & development leads the CRISPR market
Drug discovery & development holds the largest market share, supported by the use of CRISPR technologies in target identification, target validation, disease-model development, functional genomics, and drug screening. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are applying CRISPR-based knockout, activation, inhibition, and screening methods to assess gene function, investigate disease mechanisms, and identify therapeutic targets.
The growing role of genome editing in cell and gene therapy development and precision medicine is generating additional demand for CRISPR products, screening platforms, validation solutions, and related services.
US market positioned for the highest CAGR
The US is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period, benefiting from advanced biomedical research infrastructure, substantial investment, and the presence of leading genome-editing companies. CRISPR adoption is accelerating across drug discovery, functional genomics, cell and gene therapy, genetic disease research, and precision medicine.
CRISPR-Cas systems, base editing, prime editing, guide RNA design, and genome-editing screening and validation are increasingly used by pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, academic institutions, and research organizations. Government and private funding, combined with ongoing therapeutic innovation, is further supporting US market growth.
