Protein Sequencing Market Share

Global Protein Sequencing Market Overview

Protein Sequencing Market Size was valued at USD 0.8 Billion in 2023. The Global Protein Sequencing industry is projected to grow from USD 0.85 Billion in 2024 to USD 1.34 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.89% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

Protein sequencing technologies are used to determine and analyze the amino acid sequences of proteins or peptides. Increased focus on target-based medication development by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, as well as increased financial support for proteome research from the public and commercial sectors.

Advancements in clinical mass spectrometry and analytical techniques are some of the factors that are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. The National Cancer Institute Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research, for example, offers funding options for proteomics research. However, the high cost of infrastructure and equipment may limit the expansion of the protein sequencing market over the assessment period.
