Global Exosomes Market Size to Reach USD 3.08 Billion in 2032 | Emergen Research
Vancouver, Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global exosomes market size reached USD 0.50 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 18% during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. Increasing prevalence of cancer, rapid scientific advancements in exosome research and technology development, improved exosome separation, characterization, and component detection methods, and increasing number of clinical studies and trials in the field of exosome-based research are some key factors driving market revenue growth.
Exosomes have been progressively developed for disease therapy and diagnosis as the functions of exosomes in disease pathophysiological pathways have become understood. Exosome-mediated intercellular communication appears to have a role in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and other diseases.
Rapid scientific advances in exosome research and development, such as exosome-based nano-theranostics platforms, and designer exosomes, have facilitated highly promising diagnostic and therapeutic applications, sparking significant efforts for their translation into the clinical field. Exosome nanotechnology developments have opened up future opportunities in exosome-related physiology, biochemistry, pathology, and therapies, creating a solid basis for scientists to build and develop exosome-based nano-theranostics systems. Exosome engineering is a novel subject that has emerged as a result of many biotechnological approaches. Exosome engineering aims to accomplish a variety of objectives, including directing exosomes to a specific tissue or cell, loading exogenous drugs, proteins, or nucleic acids into exosomes, and enriching an endogenous molecule into the lumen of exosomes or on their surface. Recently, advanced research studies have integrated numerous exosome engineering methodologies to create designer exosomes, which are highly specialized exosomes.

Most biotechnology companies have preferred exosomes, like other fields of fundamental science, because of their expected lucrative future opportunities, which has pushed companies to engage and invest in exosome-based research and development. As a result, some companies have received funding to help promote the commercialization of a certain exosomal product. For instance, Codiak Bioscience, which was launched in 2015 and is one of the largest developers of exosome-based therapies, aims to develop advanced targeted medication delivery platforms for neuronal cells using modified exosomes. Furthermore, one of the company’s key objectives is to develop large-scale exosome production workflows. Exopharm is developing exosome-based regenerative medicine solutions, which currently include a system for downstream analysis and two products. Exopharm’s downstream technology, known as LEAP technology, is based on chromatography and is used to separate ultrapure exosomes for pharmaceutical purposes.
Rising prevalence of cancers can be attributable to steady market revenue growth. According to GLOBOCAN 2020 estimates of cancer prevalence and mortality from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were roughly 19.3 million new cases of cancer in 2020, with 18.1 million excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer and nearly 10.0 million cancer deaths. In 2020, it was estimated that over 1.8 million new cancer cases would be identified in the United States, with over 0.6 million individuals dying from the disease. Over the last decade, the number of clinical studies aimed at understanding the biology and activity of exosomes in cancer development and metastasis has increased dramatically, resulting in exosome protein biomarker discovery for various types of cancer, which is driving market revenue growth.
However, high costs of isolation and purification process have resulted in decreased production of exosomes, which is hindering adoption of exosomes for increasing clinical applications. Despite major investment in this particular research area, problems like inefficient separation techniques, a lack of unique biomarkers, and a lack of high-resolution visualization tools limit understanding of exosomes, which is hindering market growth.

Some Key Highlights From the Report
- Kits segment accounted for moderate revenue share in 2021. With the growing interest in the pathological and physiological aspects of exosomal miRNAs, commercial kits that promise easy and rapid isolation processes have been created and are now available for usage. Commercial kits are reliable, quick, and need little sample, making them excellent for identifying exosomal miRNA disease indicators. Some commercial kits identified a higher miRNA yield in serum exosomes than traditional approaches like ultrafiltration. Some of the widely used commercial exosome isolation kits include Total Exosome Isolation for serum or plasma (Invitrogen, MA, USA), RIBO Exosome Isolation Reagent (RIBO, Guangzhou, China), and ExoQuick Exosome Precipitation Solution (System Biosciences, CA, USA).
- Neurodegenerative disease segment accounted for significantly robust revenue share in 2021. According to Alzheimer’s dementia, in 2022, an estimated 6.5 million Americans aged 65 and older will be living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, with 73% of those aged 75 or older. Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia affects around one in every nine persons in the United States or 10.7% of the population. Alzheimer’s affects a higher percentage of people as they get older, with 5.0%of persons aged 65 to 74, 13.1% of those aged 75 to 84, and 33.2% of people aged 85 and older having the disease. Exosomes have a role in intercellular communication, the maintenance of the myelin sheath, and the elimination of waste in the nervous system and they have been detected in cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral bodily fluids, which have demonstrated variations during disease progression. As a result, they have been increasingly used as biomarkers for identifying neurodegenerative disease progression, especially in Alzheimer’s disease. For instance, exosomal amyloid peptides have also been found in the brain plaques of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients, and tau phosphorylated at Thr-181, a proven biomarker for AD, has been present at elevated levels in exosomes isolated from cerebrospinal fluid specimens of AD patients with mild symptoms
- Market in Europe accounted for moderate revenue share in 2021. This is attributed to factors such as an increase in research and development efforts as well as government-funded research programs in the field of exosome based research. Furthermore, the growing presence of notable industry participants and others contributes significantly to the region’s market growth. For instance, Evox Therapeutics Ltd. (‘Evox’ or the ‘Firm’) has raised USD 95.4 million in a Series C funding transaction and this funding was highly oversubscribed, with both existing and new investors showing strong interest. Redmile Group led the Series C round, which was joined by additional investors OrbiMed and Invus. All existing Series B investors, including key backers Oxford Sciences Innovation (OSI), GV (previously Google Ventures), and Cowen Healthcare Investments, reinvested alongside Redmile. Its mission is to commercialize exosomes that have been optimized for function.

Management Commentary
“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are augmenting our focus and resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential, and the best return on investment. While it is still too early to make any predictions, our sales in Germany almost doubled during the month of April,” said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. “Looking back on the first month post legalization in Germany, I see that we have the infrastructure and the supply agreements in place to continue delivering the accelerated growth we have already seen in April. We will also ensure that we have the necessary resources in place for success.”
“In 2023 we completely restructured, becoming a very lean and agile company, leaning into active cost management. This process is reflected in the numbers, our G&A decreased 27% vs Q1 2023” said Uri Birenberg, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. “While our results have recovered from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war, our revenue was still effected by both an unfavorable exchange rate, as well as price reductions to sell off inventory.”
Q1 2024 Conference Call
The Company will host a Zoom web conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session for the investment community. Investors are invited to register by clicking here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

Q1 2024 Financial Results
- Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $12.1 million compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 3%. The decrease is mainly due an exchange rate effect of about $0.2 million and decrease in avg. price per sale due to increased competition.
- Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2024, a decrease of 39%. The downside is attributed mainly to the slow-moving stock that was moved out at a lower price and an exchange rate difference totaling $0.4 million and $0.64 million cost of sales loss due to an inventory erase of the slow-moving stock. Company fair value adjustment was $0 and $0.4 million for the Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 respectively.
- Total Dried Flower sold in Q1 2024 was approximately 1,873 kg with an average selling price of $5.68 per gram, compared to approximately 1,842kg in Q1 2023, with an average selling price of $6.59 per gram. This difference is mainly due to increased competition within the retail segment, and mid-range stock discounts to move out slow moving stock.
- Total operating expenses in Q1 2024 were $7.4 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023. The increase is due to the other operating expenses related to Oranim Deal revoke, with an expected losses of $2.8 million. Adjusting for this one-time losses, Q1 2024 operating expenses were $4.6 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 29%.
- G&A Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $3.2 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 28%. The decrease in the G&A expense is attributable mainly to salaries and professional services of $0.64 million.
- Selling and Marketing Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.8 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 18% mainly due to a decrease in Salaries and professional services of $0.5 million.
- Net Loss from continuing operations in Q1 2024 was $6.0 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q12023.
- Basic and diluted Loss per Share in Q1 2024 was $0.42, compared to a loss of $0.05 per Share in Q1 2023.
- Non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q1 2024 was $2.1 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.9 million in Q1 2023 an increase of 10%.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2024, were $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million in December 31, 2023.
- Total assets as of March 31, 2024, were $41.1 million, compared to $48.8 million in December 31, 2023, a decrease of 16%. The decrease is mainly attributed to the goodwill reduction due to Oranim agreement cancelation of about $2.8M, a reduction in Inventory of $2.1 million, reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of $0.8M and reduction in Trade payables of $1.2 million.
- Total Liabilities as of March 31, 2024, were $32.8 million, compared to $35.1 in December 31, 2023, a decrease of about 7%. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in other accounts payables and accrued expenses of $1.8 million and reduction in the PUT option liability of $0.7 million.
The Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2024 includes a note regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s Q1 2024 financial results do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. For more information, please refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Risk Factors” sections in the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to “Gross Margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company’s IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2024, available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.

Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “likely” and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In the press release, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, including its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; the timing and impact of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany, including, the Company having it “all in house”; the Company being positioned to take advantage of the legalization; the Company’s growth in 2024; the market growth for medicinal cannabis in Germany; the stated benefits of the Company’s EU-GMP processing facility and an EU-GDP logistics center; the Company to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to focus and resources to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in its highest value markets; the Company’s ability to mitigate the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company; the Company’s ability to take advantage of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany; the Company’s ability to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s ability to carry out its stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
The above lists of forward-looking statements and assumptions are not exhaustive. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors and risks.
