Mexico Cell and Gene Therapy Market

Mexico Cell and Gene Therapy Market Overview:

The Mexico cell and gene therapy market size reached USD 319.2 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,503.4 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 18.79% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic disorders like cancer, diabetes, and orphan genetic diseases, unprecedented advances in biomedical research and development (R&D), and development of dedicated guidelines, and fast-track approval mechanisms for treatments targeting high-unmet medical needs or orphan diseases.

Mexico Cell and Gene Therapy Market Trends:

Growing Prevalence of Chronic and Genetic Disorders

The rising prevalence of chronic disorders like cancer, diabetes, and orphan genetic diseases in Mexico is driving the need for innovative therapeutics, such as cell and gene therapies. These new treatments have the potential to cure or improve conditions that were previously considered incurable. For example, inherited diseases like hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, and lysosomal storage diseases are being addressed through gene therapies for correcting or substituting defective genes. Likewise, cell therapies using stem cells or Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T cells) are transforming oncology by expanding the immune system's capacity for recognizing and targeting tumor cells. This increasing disease burden is also fueling patient and healthcare professional interest in curative rather than lifelong management of symptoms. Consequently, the demand for novel biotechnological solutions and in-vitro diagnostics is accelerating, propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the IMARC Group predicts that the Mexico in-vitro diagnostics market size is expected to reach USD 3.5 Billion by 2033.

Advancements in Research and Local Biotech Infrastructure

Mexico is experiencing unprecedented advances in biomedical research and development (R&D), which are very important for developing and marketing cell and gene therapies. Universities like the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and institutes like the National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) are all actively engaging in genetic studies, clinical trials, and translational medicine. These institutions not only promote innovation but also act as training centers for talented professionals in cell and molecular biology. In addition, the Mexican government and private investors are increasingly investing in the development of infrastructure, such as specialized laboratories, bioprocessing facilities, and clinical-grade manufacturing plants. These investments are critical to increase production scale and guarantee regulatory compliance for ATMPs. In 2024, President Claudia Sheinbaum unveiled the New Consolidated Procurement Model for Medicines and Medical Supplies for the 2025-2026 timeframe, which will require an investment of 130 billion pesos.

Regulatory Support and International Collaborations

Mexico's regulatory framework is getting updated to support the intricacies of cell and gene therapies. The Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risk (COFEPRIS) is actively working to streamline clinical trial approvals and commercialization of advanced treatments. This entails the development of dedicated guidelines and fast-track approval mechanisms for treatments targeting high-unmet medical needs or orphan diseases. These regulatory improvements have the purpose to balance innovation with patient safety so that the business climate becomes favorable for biopharmaceutical investment. In addition, Mexico is actively participating in global partnerships with North American and European biotechnology companies. Such alliances enable knowledge exchange, access to advanced technologies, and involvement in global clinical trials. The blend of regulatory flexibility and international integration greatly enhances the market's potential and its congruence with global standards. In 2025, Stem Vitality Mexico started accepting new patients who are looking for safe and effective stem cell therapy for various conditions. By providing treatments at a fraction of the price usually found in the United States and Canada, the clinic offers an affordable alternative for those dealing with chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, orthopedic conditions, and age-related problems. Foreign patients are assisted by Stem Vitality Mexico's medical tourism program, which features complimentary initial consultations, bilingual care coordinators, and complete travel assistance, providing a hassle-free experience from the San Diego border to the doors of the clinic.
