Based on system type, the protein expression market is segmented into mammalian cell expression systems, prokaryotic expression systems, cell-free expression systems, yeast expression systems, insect cell expression systems, and algal-based expression systems. In 2023, the mammalian cell expression systems segment held the largest share of the global protein expression market, owing to the preference given to these systems to produce complex proteins such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and vaccines. Among these systems, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most used due to their rapid growth and high protein expression capabilities.
The protein expression market has been segmented based on application into three segments, including industrial application, research application, and therapeutic applications. In 2023, the therapeutic application segment had the highest market share across the protein expression market. This segment of the application is growing because of the increasing cases of chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders that are supporting the demand for protein-based therapies such as mAb and vaccines. Moreover, the segmental growth is further supported by the increased focus on the production of personalized medicine through grants and funding support.
Based on offerings, the protein expression market is segmented into products and services. The products are segmented further into expression vectors, competent cells, reagents & kits, instruments, and software. In 2023, the protein expression market was dominated by the products segment. This large share can be attributed to the growing research alongside the rising approvals and commercialization of biologics, for example, antibodies. The reagents & kits sub-segment held the majority share under the products segment since the demand for reagents & kits persists in the sphere of research. This is because they need to be refilled periodically throughout the process of protein expression. Moreover, companies are launching innovative products for advanced protein expression workflows further supporting the growth prospects for the products segment.
Based on end users of protein expression products, the protein expression market is segmented into contract research organizations & contract development and manufacturing organizations (CROS and CDMOs), pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and academic & research institutes, and other end users. In 2023, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies held the largest share of the global protein expression product market, and this growth trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. The large share of this end-user segment is supported by the increase in the demand for therapeutic proteins and the rising approvals for recombinant therapeutic proteins for disease treatment.
The protein expression market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa based on region. In 2023, North America held the largest share of the protein expression market, followed by Europe. The presence of major suppliers and key end users for the protein expression offerings in the region supports the large share of the North American protein expression market. Other drivers include growth in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industries, the growing prevalence of chronic disorders, and investments in the research and development of protein-based therapeutics research that contribute to furthering this large share of this market. North America is expected to dominate this space during the forecast period.
