U.S. glycomics market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

The glycobiology field gained significant momentum in recent times owing to its numerous applications in various areas, including diagnostics, drug discovery, and personalized medicine. Moreover, increasing interest in understanding the role of glycomics in disease profiling and biological processes has significantly fueled the research & development activities in the glycomics research area. For instance, in April 2021, the Canadian Glycomics Network and BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. Collaborated to translate scientific research in glycomics into potential treatments for patients with genetic diseases.

Moreover, increasing investments from governments and non-profit organizations have enabled researchers to develop novel glycomics and glycobiology tools. Moreover, ongoing funding programs to explore the potential of glycomics in diagnostics and precision medicine have further propelled industry uptake. For instance, in July 2020 GlycoNet, a Canadian Network of Centers of Excellence, received funding of USD 16.3 million to strengthen its efforts on glycomic research for the benefit of human health. This funding was awarded to GlycoNet as it has the strongest group of glycan researchers in glycobiology field.

Rising focus on glycobiology research has led to high growth of the glycomics market. Huge investments in this field have enabled academic researchers to develop new tools. As per many researchers, glycans are essential in biological processes; research on them helps researchers understand biology more comprehensively without specializing inglycobiology. This provides a wide set of potential applications for glycan analysis.

For instance, in September 2021, Investigators at the University of California San Diego developed a tool that permits glycomics datasets to be examined using AI and other machine learning methods.The investigators named the approach as GlyCompare. It takes a systems-level perception that accounts for shared biosynthetic pathways of glycans within and across samples. With this approach, the researchers aim to develop clinical breakthroughs in cancer diagnostics.

Product Insights

Enzymes segment accounted for the largest market share of 29.2% in 2022 and is expected to witness fastest growth during 2023-2030. Factors such as the wide application of enzymes in glycan-based research, diagnostics, and drug discovery are some of the factors contributing to the growth of the market. Various research studies indicate the epigenetic regulation of these enzymes in various cancer cells, thus resulting in the formation of glycan structures that are one of the most used mechanisms used by the cancerous cells to evade immune responses in a host. Genetic engineered cell models have been designed by researchers to understand the functions of specific glycan cancer epitopes. One such instance is the overexpression of glycosyltransferases that results in the characterization of function and biosynthesis of cancer-associated epitopes, such as STn, T, Tn, and ST.

Moreover, advances in protein modification technologies and enzyme engineering have led to the development of more efficient and specific enzymes for glycomics applications. These advancements have expanded the scope of enzymes in glycan-related research and production.

Instrument segment held the second-largest revenue share of 27.0% in 2022 and its high growth is driven by the increasing adoption of instruments in diagnostic testing and drug discovery. In addition, technological advancements in terms of accuracy and turnaround time and increasing efforts from market players to introduce novel glycan-based instruments further support market expansion.
