By end-user, pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global protein expression market in 2023 owing to the rising use of cultivated cells for the production of therapies and personalised medications, increasingly creative uses of proteins are being made in the pharmaceutical sector, growing introduction of new products, and surge in initiatives by market players. For instance, in June 2022, Codex DNA, Inc., a synthetic biology company based in the United States, has disclosed its plans to showcase its BioXp system and RapidAMP technology for antibody and protein engineering processes at the Antibody Engineering and Therapeutics Europe Conference scheduled for June 7 to 9, 2023. The BioXp system offers a fully automated, hands-free solution for DNA assembly, cloning, amplification, and mRNA synthesis in a single operation. Additionally, contract research organizations is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the variety of professional services offered by the organizations at cost-effective rates to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the surge in funding for research & development activities, rising collaboration within market players & academic institutions, growing healthcare infrastructure, increasing usage of protein technologies, the presence of major market players, surge in research studies on protein engineering, and rising product launches. For instance, in May 2022, Abevmy (bevacizumab) has been introduced to the Canadian market, according to Biocon Biologics Ltd. and Viatris Inc. This marks the fourth cancer-related biosimilar brought to Canada by Viatris. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing adoption of protein expression in various applications, increasing focus on proteomics & genomics research, rising initiatives by academic institutions for development of innovative protein therapeutics, and surge in collaborations within market players. For instance, in May 2023, The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Republic of Korea have entered into an agreement through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to create a global training center for biomanufacturing. This international training hub is intended to support lower- and middle-income nations by offering knowledge and skills in producing biological substances like vaccines, insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and therapies for cancer.
