The peptone market was valued at $149.5 million in 2023 and is estimated to reach $240.9 million by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.2% from 2024 to 2035.
Peptone is a water-soluble protein derivative obtained through the partial hydrolysis of animal, plant, or microbial protein sources using enzymes or acids. They are widely used in laboratories and industries for cultivating bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. They play a crucial role in pharmaceutical research, diagnostics, and fermentation processes, contributing to the production of antibiotics, enzymes, and other biologics.
The global peptone market is witnessing notable growth due to factors such as increase in microbiology-based research in pharmaceutical, academic, and healthcare sectors and rise in efforts to develop vaccines, antibiotics, and probiotics. Furthermore, expansion of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries significantly contributes toward the market growth. Moreover, alarming rise in prevalence of infectious diseases has resulted in increased investment in diagnostic labs globally, which, in turn, drives the consumption of peptones.
According to the prevalence of infectious diseases National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2021, the number of emergency department visits due to infectious and parasitic diseases was recorded to be 3.8 million in the U.S. alone. Among these, hospital admissions were estimated to reach 482,000. This emphasizes the urgent need for peptone. In addition, increase in use of peptones in vaccine productions acts as a key driving force of the global market. This is attributed to the fact that peptones serves as the primary nutrient source in the growth media for culturing microorganisms, such as bacteria or viruses, that are used to produce vaccines.
These nutrient-rich protein hydrolysates provide essential amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and minerals necessary for optimal microbial or cell growth during vaccine manufacturing. A 2021 study published by Taylor & Francis - one of the world's largest publishers of open access research revealed that approximately 2-3 million lives are saved every year due to routine vaccination. Rise in application of peptones in the food & beverages industry future fuels the market growth, as they are used in the fermentation processes for the production of beverages, dairy products, and dietary supplements.
However, high cost associated with manufacturing of peptones, which involves complex processes such as enzymatic or acid hydrolysis, restrains the market growth. In addition, advances in synthetic and chemically defined media are offering alternatives to peptones, particularly in applications requiring precision and reproducibility, such as cell culture for monoclonal antibody production, thereby hampering the market growth.
On the contrary, the global focus on sustainable bio-based products supports the adoption of peptones as fermentation nutrients, which is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market growth. Moreover, concerns over animal-derived peptones and a shift toward vegan and animal-free alternatives in pharmaceuticals and food applications have opened new avenues for plant-based or microbial peptones.
The global peptone market is segmented into source of peptone, application, end user, and region. By source of peptone, the market is divided into animal peptone, plant peptone, microbial peptone, and mixed peptone. On the basis of end user, it is segregated into pharmaceutical & biotech industry, research institutions, food & beverage industry, and others. Depending on application, it is categorized into cell culture, fermentation, food & beverages, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
