The presence of robust research infrastructure, rise in genetically modified crops, and increase in prevalence of genetic diseases are some of the major driving factors boosting the U.S. genome editing market. Moreover, in the U.S., genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis are prevalent.

According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry, around 30,000 people are suffering from cystic fibrosis in the country. In addition, around 1,000 new cystic fibrosis cases are diagnosed every year. On the other hand, rise in the number of patent approvals for U.S.-based companies has also accelerated the adoption of genome editing tools in the country, leading to positive market growth.

For instance, in May 2020, Merck announced that two CRISPR gene editing patents were approved in the U.S. In September 2020, Editas Medicine revealed that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved certain Broad’s CRISPR/Cas9 patents for priority benefits.
