The global proteinase K market size is expected to reach USD 7.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. The market growth is fueled by a broad range of applications in molecular diagnostic techniques and their associated enzymes for IVD. Proteinase K can be utilized as a supplement in PCR and NGS. Increasing applications of NGS in personalized medicine along with various clinically developed therapies are likely to favor the market for proteinase K. Gene expression profiling and targeted panels via qPCR remain the two most frequent uses for NGS sequences in a pathology lab. In addition, a decline in the price of NGS sequencing has expanded the use of NSC technologies. Therefore, the growing demand for NGS diagnostic techniques is expected to boost the market growth.
In addition, the rising adoption of cell separation procedures is one of the major factors contributing to the market growth. Companies have initiated building sustainable technologies to gain a competitive edge in the market. For instance, in April 2022, Levitas Bio introduced the next generation of its existing platform for cell separation. The new version is expected to assist researchers in scaling their experiments up to 16X and process around 40 million cells per run.
Moreover, the usage of POC-based diagnostics is increasing significantly globally. Public awareness campaigns aimed at identifying the symptoms of infectious diseases and ways to prevent them play an important role in controlling disease transmission. Thus, increased patient attention has led to a rise in demand for POC. For instance, in May 2020, a study on POC testing for COVID-19 through Specific High Sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter UnLOCKing (SHERLOCK) diagnostics was published. The researchers used QuickExtract by Lucigen, which contains Proteinase K. Thus, the growing demand for POC diagnostics and the utility of proteinase K in POC diagnostic tests are expected to fuel market growth.
Furthermore, growing applications of proteinase K in molecular biology and other fields are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the near future. Proteinase K is used in the food and beverage industry to maintain quality standards. Food manufacturers work to maintain the quality of raw materials used for manufacturing. In addition, proteinase K is used for cell lysis during DNA extraction from processed foods. The enzyme also finds application in a wide range of molecular biology assays. Hence, such applications of proteinase K are anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period.
