Protein expression is an integral tool in biological research and it is gaining significant traction as a pharmaceutical production mechanism for biological therapeutics. The biotechnology industry uses both cell types prokaryotic (bacteria) and eukaryotic (animal, fungi, and plant) to synthesize recombinant proteins. The choice of the host cell depends on the protein expressed. The demand for recombinant proteins has increased as more applications in several fields are commercially available. Recombinant proteins have been utilized as tools for cellular and molecular biology.

Market Dynamics

The demand for protein therapeutics has increased considerably, owing to increase in prevalence of chronic diseases and development of plasma-derived therapies. In recent years, proteins expression systems have gained significant traction for therapeutic applications and the number of proteins launched or approved into clinical trials has continually increased. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) data of 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved more than 140 recombinant therapeutic proteins for human use and several hundred are currently in development.

However, high cost associated with therapeutic proteins and stringent government regulations towards approval of protein therapies are expected to hinder market growth. For instance, in India, a vial of Avastin (Bevacizumab mostly produced by the mammalian cell expression system), a monoclonal antibody, cost between USD 372.65 to USD 402.46. Moreover, immunogenicity is also a major concern for all recombinant drugs, as all biotechnologically produced therapeutics may exhibit some form of immunogenicity.
