The instruments segment dominated the global industryin 2022 and accounted for the maximum share of 51.50% of the overall revenue. Researchers are increasingly preferring automated technologies for promoting rapid molecular development processes, which is one of the important factors driving segment growth. Furthermore, rising demand for high-efficiency protein engineering tools, such as real-time PCR apparatus and chromatographic systems, is likely to boost the segment growth over the forecast period.

The reagents segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2030 as a result of the rising utilization of reagents for a variety of applications, including the production of growth factors, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and other therapeutics. Furthermore, the use of reagents for research and development purposes in the production of novel vaccines for COVID-19 has fueled the opportunities for the launch of new products in this domain and is likely to drive the market in the coming years.

Technology Insights

The rational protein design segmentled the industry in 2022 and accounted for the highest revenue share of more than 29.95%. The dominant share is a result of the widespread usage of this technology in enzyme engineering and antibody development. The rapid expansion in commercial applications of enzyme engineering has resulted in the development of enhanced and modified enzymes that possess the desired catalytic properties. Techniques, such as site-directed mutagenesis, are frequently used in rational design engineering approaches and the high market penetration of such techniques aids in driving the segment.

The hybrid approach segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the frequent adoption of hybrid approaches, that use a combination of directed evolution and rational design, for various applications, such as for the enhancement of redox proteins and enzymes. These enzymes hold high importance in the engineering of nano-devices for bio-sensing and other major nanotechnology engineering applications, thus strengthening future growth prospects.

Protein Type Insights

The monoclonal antibodies segment accounted for the highest revenue share of more than 23.25% in 2022. One of the major factors contributing to the increased use of these technologies is the rising R&D spending in the development of therapeutically enhanced monoclonal antibodies. In addition, the increasing adoption of targeted monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases is expected to boost the segment in near future. Similarly, the growth potential is expected to further improve with the introduction of genetic platforms that use cutting-edge technology, such as next-generation sequencing for enabling efficient protein engineering for the development of monoclonal antibodies.

The insulin segment is expected to grow at the fastestCAGR from 2023 to 2030 due to the increase in demand for insulin as a result of the growing diabetic population worldwide. In the U.S. alone, around 8.3 million people require insulin for the regulation of blood sugar levels. Moreover, established players in the segment, such as Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi, offer multiple types of insulin, which increases the scope of applications for the segment. These factors are expected to drive the growth of insulin protein engineering in the near future.

End-use Insights

The pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment captured the highest share of more than 42.55% in 2022. The large share is due to the growing use of in silico drug development models for the treatment of diabetes, cancer, and neurological problems. By developing drug variations of patent-expiring drugs using a computer modeling approach, these organizations continuously work to maintain their market presence. Furthermore, the growing funding and investment support from public and private healthcare organizations for the development of sophisticated protein engineering technologies to provide better patient outcomes is fueling the segment.

Global protein engineering market share, by end-use, 2022 (%)

The Contract Research Organizations (CROs) segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGRfrom 2023 to 2030. This can be attributed to the rising propensity of outsourcing and contract research and manufacturing in the biopharmaceutical industry. Advantages offered by CROs, such as improved productivity, improved service efficiency, and a greater emphasis on key development areas in protein engineering, including de novo protein engineering, are anticipated to drive the segment.
