The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased awareness of glycans in biological systems, expansion of glycan-related database and resources, rise in collaborative research initiatives, advancements in glycan synthesis and engineering, glycan biomarker identification.
The glycomics or glycobiology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.03 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to glycan-focused artificial intelligence (ai) and data analytics, expansion in glycobiology-based drug development, integration of glycomics in disease biomarker discovery, personalized medicine, and glycan-based therapeutics. Major trends in the forecast period include cross-disciplinary collaborations, glycosylation patterns in disease mechanisms, innovative precision medicine and personalized therapies, advancements in glycoanalytical tools, glycans in immunotherapy and vaccines.
The surge in demand for medications catering to severe chronic diseases is poised to drive the growth of the glycomics or glycobiology market. Chronic diseases, which persist over the long term without definitive cures, prompt extensive research into glycomics to understand glycosylation changes and their functional implications in drug development for these conditions. According to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Facts and Figures 2022-2024, the number of cancer survivors, considered a chronic disease, is projected to increase from 22.5 million in 2032 to an estimated 26 million by 2040. Hence, the escalating demand for medications to treat severe chronic diseases acts as a significant driver for the glycomics or glycobiology market.
The rising need for pharmaceutical products is expected to be a major driver for the growth of the glycomics or glycobiology market. These products encompass drugs specifically formulated to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure various medical conditions. Glycomics and glycobiology play crucial roles in pharmaceutical development by elucidating disease mechanisms, identifying therapeutic targets, and optimizing drug design and effectiveness. According to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), the total pharmaceutical production in Europe surged to $384,200 million (€340,000 million) in 2022, marking a significant 4.95% increase from the preceding year's $366,267 million (€323,950 million). Consequently, the heightened demand for pharmaceutical products acts as a catalyst propelling the glycomics or glycobiology market's growth.
A prevailing trend in the glycomics or glycobiology market is the emphasis on investments in research and development (R&D) endeavors. Prominent research institutions are channeling funding into glycobiology research centers, aiming to further advancements in glycomics or glycobiology. For instance, Griffith University's Institute for Glycomics unveiled the ACRF International center for Cancer Glycomics in August 2022. This pioneering facility, established with a $2.6 million ACRF grant, is dedicated to unraveling cancer glycocoding. It is envisioned as a unique resource, driving enhanced understanding of the glycocode and translating discoveries into clinical outcomes, ultimately improving the lives of cancer patients.
Leading companies within the glycomics or glycobiology market are innovating by developing cutting-edge products like glycan screening kits to cater to expanded customer bases and augment revenue streams. Glycan Screening Kits are specialized tools designed for comprehensive immunofluorescence detection of glycan expression in tissue sections, aiding researchers in characterizing complex glycans for insights into disease biomarkers and protein modifications. Vector Laboratories Inc., in July 2022, introduced its breakthrough product, the Glysite Scout Glycan Screening Kits. These fully integrated immunofluorescence kits offer robust capabilities for profiling glycan expression in tissue sections. The kits empower researchers to gain valuable insights into the significance of glycomics in samples, particularly in understanding post-translational protein modifications and disease biomarkers. With curated lectin selections, these kits enable the identification of major surface glycan motifs, enriching the understanding of disease progression, treatment impacts, and tissue characterization.
In October 2022, the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP), an India-based research foundation, entered into a partnership with Agilent Technologies, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this collaboration, C-CAMP aims to enhance its portfolio by leveraging Agilent's expertise in mass spectrometry-based characterization of biotherapeutics and biosimilars. Agilent Technologies Inc., a US-based company, is known for offering AdvanceBio glycoenzymes.
