Exosomes can also be used to determine the onset or progress of multiple diseases, including infectious diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), among others.

Moreover, the advantages of exosomes in drug delivery, such as biological barrier permeability, low immunogenicity and toxicity, and stability in circulation are increasing the therapeutics applications in this domain. Thus, the potential applications of extracellular vesicles in diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine development are projected to drive the industry over the forecast period. The growing prevalence of cancer is leading to a high demand for effective novel therapeutic options for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, there were about 10 million cancer deaths, making it one of the foremost causes of death worldwide.

Moreover, in the U.S., according to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 1,918,030 new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths were recorded by the end of 2022. Furthermore, technological advancements in exosome isolation and analytical procedures are anticipated to boost industry growth during the forecast years. For instance, in November 2022, Cell Guidance Systems introduced its Instant Exosomes and LipoQ assay products.
