The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.40% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, with the values likely to rise from USD 3.2 billion in 2024 to USD 4.9 billion by 2032.

Global Protein Expression Market Overview

The increased impetus on therapeutic proteins in modern medicine along with the robust research and development activities is positively impacting the market landscape. To manufacture various protein-based pharmaceutical products, several expression systems have been developed. Recent advancements have made it possible to produce therapeutic proteins against cancers and infectious diseases, which is expected to boost the protein expression market demand in the forecast period.

The market is witnessing significant investments from the key market players to accommodate the growing demand for personalized medicines. In February 2024 , BioAscent, a United Kingdom-based pharmaceutical company invested in a new protein production facility to enable in-house production of proteins. A major portion of the investment was made in specialized equipment including FPLC (fast protein liquid chromatography). The facility, with a team of skilled protein scientists, will be dedicated to the expression and purification of proteins from various expression systems. Such investments will accelerate the timelines of drug discovery projects and will contribute to the protein expression market growth in the coming years. 

The market is also driven by the growing demand for protein biologics and the adoption of recombinant-based protein expression. Moreover, the rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases necessitating the development of effective therapeutics is propelling the market growth.
