Global GMP Protein (E. coli) Contract Manufacturing Market, by Product Type (Cytokines, Growth Factors, Enzymes [DNA polymerase, Protease, Trypsin, Nuclease {Benzonase, Cas9 Nucleases, and Others}, IVT Enzymes, and Others] Hormones, Antigens, and Others), by Application (Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy), by Method (In-Vivo and Ex-Vivo), by End User (Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Companies, Academic & Research Institutes, Contract Research Organizations, and Others) and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to be valued at US$ 685.8 Million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period (2022-2030), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
The increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as acquisitions by the key players in the market is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in January, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a global biotechnology company, announced that it had acquired PeproTech, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of recombinant proteins including cytokines and growth factors. This acquistions will help Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.,to expand its recombinant proteins product portfolio.
Global GMP Protein (E. coli) Contract Manufacturing Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and resulting lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one such sector that has been majorly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown in various countries has placed an economic burden on the private healthcare sector. Healthcare providers were facing challenges with manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources to ensure safety in the treatment of patients with other diseases, declining outpatients’ visits, etc. Moreover, the coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the development, production, and supply of drugs as well as the growth of healthcare businesses across the globe. This has led to the closure of industrial establishments, except the manufacture of essential commodities, and disruption in the supply chain of products. The pandemic has affected the economy in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Supply chain and manufacturing activities in India, China, the U.S., and others have been disrupted due to lockdowns. Whereas, countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and others are facing problems with the transportation of drugs and medications. Thus, the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit the growth of the global GMP protein (E. coli) contract manufacturing market to a certain extent during the forecast period
Global GMP Protein (E. coli) Contract Manufacturing Market: Key Developments
In April, Thermo Fisher Scientific, a global biotechnology company, launched their new Gibco CTA TrueCut Cas9 protein, which was produced under GMP standards to support genome editing for both research and industrial applications.
In January, Bio-Techne Corporation, a developer and manufacturer of purified proteins and reagent solutions, announced the plans to invest US$ 40-50 million to increase its GMP-grade protein production capacity. This investment will fund a new facility that is specifically dedicated to supporting the large-scale production of GMP grade materials, including E. coli-derived recombinant proteins.
