A team of scientists in China recently injected CRISPR-edited cells into a human patient for the first time — potentially setting off a biomedical race between China and the United States, as reported in the international scientific journal *[Nature](http://www.nature.com/news/crispr-gene-editing-tested-in-a-person-for-the-first-time-1.20988)*. More significant developments are expected in the years to come. The global CRISPR market is forecast to grow at an astonishing compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35% from 2016 to 2022, according to [Inkwood Research](https://www.marketresearch.com/Inkwood-Research-v4104/?progid=89280), a market intelligence firm. The number of scientific papers published on CRISPR continues to soar, from below 200 papers in 2012 to more than 1,200 papers in 2015. ![GLOBAL CRISPR MARKET FORECAST 2016-2022.jpg](https://blog.marketresearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Blog_Images/Blog_Sarah/GLOBAL%20CRISPR%20MARKET%20FORECAST%202016-2022.jpg?width=706&height=404&name=GLOBAL%20CRISPR%20MARKET%20FORECAST%202016-2022.jpg) Increasing demand in drug discovery, late pregnancies leading to birth disorders, and aging genetic disorders are a few of the market drivers. The rise of genome editing is not without controversy, however. The possible misuse of CRISPR gene editing tools is an ongoing ethical concern and a restraint on the market. In its newly published market research report, Inkwood Research identifies 16 major players in the CRISPR market: | - Editas Medicine - CRISPR Therapeutics AG - Horizon Discovery Group plc - Sigma-Aldrich - GenScript - Sangamo Biosciences, Inc. - Lonza Group AG - Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) | - New England BioLabs, Inc. - OriGene Technologies, Inc - Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals - Thermo Fisher Scientific - Caribou Biosciences, Inc. - Precision BioSciences, Inc. - Cellectis - Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. | | --- | --- | According to the study, North America is the largest CRISPR market, but Asia Pacific is also a top region, especially given its applications in agriculture and animal breeding.  For in-depth analysis, competitive insights, and company profiles, check out the [135-page report on the global CRISPR market](https://www.marketresearch.com/Inkwood-Research-v4104/Global-CRISPR-Forecast-10511011/?progid=89280) by Inkwood Research, which features 17 tables and 36 figures full of data. The report covers the regions of North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific and provides forecasts to 2022.
