Global Glycobiology Market, by Product Type (Instruments, Enzymes, Consumables, Reagents & Kits, and Others), by Application (Diagnostic Applications, Industrial Applications, Therapeutic Applications, Drug Discovery and Development, and Others), by End User (Research Laboratories, Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers, Biopharmaceutical Companies, and Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,568.73 Million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.9% during the forecast period (2022-2030), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Glycobiology market is expected to gain significant traction, owing to the applications of glycobiology enzymes, instruments, and other tools in cancer research and treatment. Recent advancements in glycobiology techniques to enhance the accuracy of treatment with the approval from regulatory agencies is a major factor augmenting growth of the glycobiology market. For instance, in July, 2022, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology held a conference on O-GlcNAc regulation of cellular physiology and pathophysiology. The several functions of O-GlcNAc protein modification in controlling nuclear and cytosolic proteins were discussed at this conference. It brought together the researchers from various sectors to exchange knowledge, resources, and experience in O-GlcNAc biology, to explore how O-GlcNAc and O-GlcNAc cycling enzymes regulate protein function in both normal biological processes and disease states like diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological illnesses.
Global Glycobiology Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China) in December 2019, as ‘coronavirus disease 2019’, or COVID-19. This virus spread quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and global health in the world.
The COVID 19 had positive impact on glycobiology market, due to its application in production of antiviral vaccines. Most of the glycans were utilized for antiviral vaccine production and production of antibodies, which can be expected to drive the glycobiology market growth. For instance, in February 2021, Journal of Biological Chemistry, published a paper on how glycobiology can help to treat the COVID-19 infection. Glycobiological contributions of COVID-19 therapeutic candidates, including vaccine glycans, anti-glycan antibodies, recombinant lectins, lectin inhibitors, glycosidase inhibitors, polysaccharides, and multiple glycosides, highlight opportunities for repurposing U.S. FDA-approved drugs to Biotechnological engineering of new probes to prevent the SARS-CoV-2 infection may be based on the crucial glycobiological understanding of glycosyltransferases, glycans, glycan-binding proteins, and glycosidases connected to this pathology for the next-generation medications.
