Global Recombinant Human (EGF) Market, by Product Type (Heparin Binding-EGF, Transforming Growth Factor-α, Epigen, Neuregulins, Amphiregulin, Betacellulin, and Others), by Purity (98% SDS-PAGE, 95%-98% SDS-PAGE, and <95% SDS-PAGE), by Carrier Type (Carrier Protein and Carrier Free), by Formulation (Lyophilized Powder, Liquid, and Others), by Application (Wound Healing, Gastrointestinal Ulceration, Brain Tumor Therapy, and Others)and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa), is estimated to be valued at US$ 10,251.1 million in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period (2021-2028).
Recombinant human EGF is used for the treatment of diabetic ulcers, thus the rising cases of diabetes is expected to drive growth of the global recombinant human EGF market during the forecast period. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation report published in September 2019, the global prevalence of diabetes was estimated to be 9.3%; however, it is expected to increase to 10.2% by 2030. The same source states that the number of people suffering from diabetes across the globe is expected to increase by 51% in 2045.
Growing research and development activities by public and private organizations is expected to drive growth of the global recombinant human EGF market. For instance, a research study published in Medical Military Journal in March 2021, investigated the potential efficiency of recombinant human EGF in wound healing when used in combination with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD). Both EGF and VSD are involved in wound healing and are reported to promote better healing when used together. This is expected to help in reducing the treatment time by decreasing the wound healing time. Such developments are expected to create new opportunities for recombinant human EGF market.
Global Recombinant Human EGF Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID – 19) Pandemic
COVID-19 outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 180 million cases and 3.9 million deaths due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) were reported up till June 27, 2021 across the globe.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected several markets across the globe and is also expected to hamper the demand and supply in global recombinant human EGF market. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a disruption of surgical procedures by halting several non-emergency surgeries. For instance, according to an article published by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information in 2019, over 1.1 million cases of ophthalmological surgeries in Monte Carlo were estimated to be at halt due to COVID-19 pandemic wherein the surgical procedures were not carried out post registration during the pandemic. This is expected to hamper the growth of recombinant human EGF market.
