The North America peptide therapeutics market is expected to reach US$ 20,381.28 million by 2027 from US$ 9,998.34 million in 2019; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2020 to 2027. The growth of the North America peptide therapeutics market is attributed to key driving factors, such as growing investments in peptide therapeutics and increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders and infectious diseases. However, operational limitations of peptides are expected to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Peptides are naturally occurring biological molecules that play a prominent role in important biological activities. Continuous R&D activities in peptide therapeutics have discovered its benefits in tackling a range of chronic disorders, such as renal disorders, genetic conditions, oncology, and neurodegenerative conditions. Over 7,000 naturally occurring peptides have been identified in recent years, which have crucial roles in human physiology, including actions as neurotransmitters, hormones, ion channel ligands, and growth factors. The effectiveness of the outcomes of peptide therapies is generating investments in the development of new drugs. Also, increasing prevalence of metabolic and infectious diseases is one of the prominent factors expected to drive the peptide therapeutics market. According to a data published by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2020, an estimated 34.2 million people in the US were suffering from diabetes. Hence, increase in investments in the development of new drugs for peptide therapies and applicability of therapies for treatment of viral infections and chronic diseases are expected to accelerate the growth of the peptide therapeutics market during the forecast period.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has extensively affected the countries in the North American region. However, growing research on peptide therapies to treat COVID-19 patients is likely to favor the market growth. For instance, researchers at University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design have developed a synthetic that would bind to the surface protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus particle and block its binding to the human cell. Thus, growing research on peptide therapies is expected to have a positive impact on the peptide therapeutics market during the forecast period.
