Exosomes Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and Outlook (2024-2031)

Global Exosomes Market is segmented By Product Type (Kits and Reagents, Instruments, Others), By Application (Cancer Applications, Non-Cancer Applications), By End-User (Diagnostics, Hospitals & Clinical Testing Laboratories, Others), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2024-2031

Report Overview

Global Exosomes Market reached US$ 1.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 2.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 15.6% during the forecast period 2024-2031

Exosomes, small vesicles 30 to 200 nm, are secreted from cells to mediate signaling in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced mesenchymal stem cells (TME). Oncogenic EGFR can be shed from cells and interact with other TME cells. Exosomes from gastric cancer cells can regulate the liver microenvironment and promote liver metastasis. EGFR-containing exosomes can be captured by endothelial cells, eliciting EGFR-dependent responses and VEGF secretion. Exosomes from EGFR-mutated NSCLC can promote CD8+ T cell apoptosis, potentially affecting immunotherapy efficacy.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rise in the prevalence of cancers.

The increasing prevalence of cancer has led to a growing demand for innovative therapies. Exosome-based technologies, such as liquid biopsy, are being used to analyze biomarkers in bodily fluids like blood, urine, or saliva. Exosomes, as stable carriers of molecular information, are ideal candidates for liquid biopsy approaches. Researchers are exploring the use of exosomal biomarkers for disease progression, treatment response, and detecting minimal residual disease.

For instance, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, In 2023, 1,958,310 new cancer cases and 609,820 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. Cancer incidence increased for prostate cancer by 3% annually from 2014 through 2019 after two decades of decline, translating to an additional 99,000 new cases; otherwise, however, incidence trends were more favorable in men compared to women.

Technical complexity of exosome isolation and technological limitations 

Exosomes, characterized by their size, composition, and cargo, present a technical challenge in isolating them with high purity and specificity. The absence of standardized methods can lead to variability in experimental outcomes and hinder comparability between studies. The isolation process is technically demanding due to the presence of other extracellular vesicles and contaminants. Obtaining pure and high-yield exosome isolation requires sophisticated techniques, which can affect the quality and consistency of the obtained samples. 

Market Segment Analysis

The global exosomes market is segmented based on product type, application, end-user, and region.

The kits and reagents from the product type segment accounted for approximately 47.3% of the exosomes  market share

The kits and reagents from the product type segment accounted for approximately 47.3%. Kits and reagents are essential tools in exosome research and clinical applications. They facilitate the isolation, detection, and analysis of exosomes from biological samples like blood, urine, and cell culture media. These tools ensure high yield and purity while preserving biological integrity. Kits simplify the isolating process, making it accessible to those with limited technical expertise. Reagents, like antibodies and dyes, label and detect exosomal surface markers, enabling the characterization of exosome cargo. This is crucial for diagnostics, particularly in identifying biomarkers for diseases like cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular conditions. 

For instance, in July 2023, Shimadzu Corporation developed Exorapid-qIC, an immunochromatography kit for extracellular vesicles (CD9) launched by Dai Nippon Toryo Co., Ltd., it is the world's first kit targeting exosomes. The kit includes gold nanoplate-labeled antibodies, immunochromatography test paper, and rinse solution. Shimadzu is responsible for detecting EV types and optimizing the detection system.

Market Geographical Analysis

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period

North America is estimated to hold about 38.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period due to the rising government funding for the detection of new biomarkers and the increasing incidence of chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In addition, growing research & development activities for the development of novel drugs, diagnostic methods, and treatment options are anticipated to drive the segment growth. 

For instance, in July 2024, Aruna Bio, a leader in neural exosome-based therapeutics for neurodegenerative conditions, received a US Patent No. 11,993,787 for its lead program, AB126, an exosome derived from neural stem cells. The patent, which extends protection covering the composition of matter for AB126 and products for gene therapy using AB16, is expected to be granted by 2038.
