Recombinant Proteins Market Trends


Rising incidence of chronic diseases and increasing investments in research and development are driving the market growth.


Market CAGR for Recombinant Proteins is driven by the rising incidence of chronic diseases and increasing investments in research and development. The increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses has fueled the demand for precise and efficient protein-based therapeutic interventions. According to the American Cancer Society, the yearly incidence and mortality rates of cancer, including lung, breast, colorectal, prostate and skin cancers, remain significant. Several factors contribute to cancer risk, such as tobacco consumption, poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, excessive sun exposure and exposure to certain environmental toxins. Notably, breast, lung, bronchus, prostate and colorectal cancers collectively represent nearly half of all new cancer cases in the United States, while lung, bronchus, colorectal, pancreatic and breast cancers account for almost half of all cancer-related deaths. In 2022, approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in the US, resulting in 609,360 deaths. Cancer stands as the second leading cause of death in the country. Furthermore, China recorded an estimated 4,820,000 new cancer cases and 3,210,000 cancer-related deaths in 2022, as per the latest data. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research's National Cancer Registry Programme (ICMR-NCRP), cervical cancer cases in India surpassed 340,000 in 2023. India witnessed over 1.41 million new cancer cases and more than 910,000 deaths in 2022, with breast cancer being the most prevalent, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).


The market growth is bolstered by increasing investments in research and development aimed at introducing novel recombinant protein therapeutics. For example, a May 2022 update from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States revealed that approximately USD 1,021 million was allocated for research and development funding for autoimmune diseases in 2021, with projections indicating a further increase to USD 1,061 million in 2022. Consequently, this surge in investment is driving the development of recombinant protein-based medications, thus propelling the expansion of the analyzed market. As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for the Recombinant protein market will increase due to the Rising incidence of chronic diseases and increasing investments in research and development. Thus, driving the Recombinant Proteins Market revenue.
