Glycomics Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product (Kits, Reagents, Enzymes and Instruments), Application (Diagnostics, Drug Discovery & Development and Other Applications), End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Glycomics Market is accounted for $2.13 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.61 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 17.5% during the forecast period. Glycomics is a field of study within molecular biology and biochemistry that focuses on the comprehensive analysis of the structure, function, and biology of carbohydrates (sugars) in biological systems. It involves the study of complex carbohydrates, also known as glycans, and their interactions with other molecules in cells and organisms. Its research has far-reaching implications for understanding of biological processes, disease mechanisms, and the development of novel therapies.

According to a study published in February 2022 by researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Center for Glycomics, Heparin can now be produced without using animals through glycomics studies.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing research in glycomics

Growing research in glycomics reveals the critical role of glycans in various biological processes, diseases, and therapeutic development. This broadening scope creates a wider market for glycomics technologies across biomedicine applications. Increased research in glycomics fosters innovation in analytical techniques. With increased research, there is a demand for more accessible and cost-effective glycomics technologies. It also creates a strong demand for specialized tools, technologies, and services. These aspects are propelling the market growth.

Restraint:

Limited standardization

Glycans are highly diverse and structurally complex molecules. Standardizing the analysis and characterization of glycans across different research settings and laboratories can be challenging, leading to potential inconsistencies and difficulties in data interpretation. In addition, its limited commercial standards, varied analytical techniques, environmental factors, structural diversity and evolutionary variabilites hinder the market demand.

Opportunity:

Rising cancer biomarkers and diagnostics

Glycomics research plays a crucial role in identifying specific glycan structures associated with various types of cancer. Understanding these unique glycan patterns allows for the development of accurate and reliable cancer biomarkers. It improves precision in cancer subtyping. Also, glycomics research may lead to the discovery of multiple glycan biomarkers associated with a specific cancer type. Combining these markers into a panel can further enhance diagnostic accuracy. Further, its practical implications for improving cancer detection, treatment, and patient outcomes are accelerating the market growth.

Threat:

High cost of instruments and reagents

Research labs, particularly those with limited budgets or in academic settings, may face challenges in acquiring and maintaining the necessary glycomics equipment and reagents. This can lead to a slower pace of research or even deter some labs from entering the field. The high cost of instruments and reagents may deter companies and manufacturers from investing in research and development for glycomics technologies. Therefore, the high cost of entry can potentially slow down the growth of the glycomics market.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had both direct and indirect impacts on the field of Glycomics. Many research laboratories and institutions faced disruptions in their operations due to lockdowns, restrictions, and safety measures. The financial impact of the pandemic had a long-term effect on research funding. On the positive side, the pandemic highlighted the importance of understanding the role of glycans in viral infections. Researchers have explored the potential of glycans in the development of therapeutics, vaccines, or diagnostics related to COVID-19.

The kits segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The kits segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Glycomics kits are specialized sets of reagents, tools, and protocols designed to facilitate the analysis and study of complex carbohydrates (glycans) in biological samples. They provide a standardized set of reagents and methods for the comprehensive profiling of glycans in biological samples. Glycomics kits include enzymes, labeling agents, and other tools necessary for the enzymatic release and modification of glycans, enabling detailed structural analysis. They play a crucial role in the diagnostics and quality control in biopharmaceuticals.

The drug discovery & development segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The drug discovery & development segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. The integration of glycomics into drug discovery and development processes leads to more precise and effective therapies, ultimately benefiting patients by improving treatment outcomes and minimizing side effects. Glycomics can contribute to the design of drugs with reduced off-target effects and improved selectivity. It can also improve vaccine efficiency. All these factors are driving the segment growth.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. North America, comprising the United States and Canada, represented one of the largest glycomics markets globally. North America is home to numerous prominent research institutions, universities, and academic medical centers. The region's advanced healthcare infrastructure, robust research ecosystem, and significant investments in biotechnology and life sciences contributed to the market's size and growth.
