The natural proteins recombinant types were the primary protein therapeutics. To maximize the clinical potential, followed by improvements by proteins or glycoengineering, Fc conjugation or fusion with polyethylene glycol was carried out to modify the proteins. Furthermore, antibody-based protein therapeutics are rising due to their effectiveness. The merging of scientific, technological, commercial, and clinical drivers can offer different approaches and address the rationale for the development of protein therapeutics with better safety, improved delivery, decreased immunogenicity, as well as improved efficacy. Moreover, new platform technologies as well as new engineered protein scaffolds are being developed to offer more advantages over antibody-based protein therapeutics.
By integrating AI as well as machine learning with protein science can gain a whole understanding of cell and proteome homeostasis. Thus, by utilizing human knowledge in AI and machine learning, various protein structures can also be predicted. At the same time, processes such as protein adjustments, fitness, and self-organization can also be identified. Hence, various new protein therapeutics, protein networks, novel proteins, as well as artificial metabolic pathways, can be discovered and developed easily. Similarly, various models that predict the stability and interaction of proteins have also been developed. Furthermore, by identifying the lifestyle, genomic information, and medical history, personalized medication can be formulated. Thus, AI algorithms can further help in minimizing the cost and time associated with the development process.
Increasing Diseases
Due to rising population and lifestyle changes, the occurrences of various diseases are rising. Thus, different types of chronic disorders such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, hematological disorders, diabetes, rare diseases, etc., are rising in geriatric as well as in infants. This has increased the need for protein therapeutics as well as protein-based biologics and biosimilars. At the same time, the development of new protein treatment approaches that provide targeted and personalized medications is also rising. Furthermore, vaccines are also being developed for a variety of infections. Thus, this in turn promotes the protein therapeutics market growth.
The graph represents a comparison between the estimated rates of blood cancer and blood disorders in Australia in the year of 2022 and 2035. It indicates that there will be a rise in hematological disorders, which will lead to an increased demand for protein therapeutics as treatment options. Thus, this in turn will ultimately promote the market growth.
Limited Stability
Protein denatures due to their sensitivity to heat, light, enzymatic degradation, as well as pH. This can lead to the aggregation or decrease in their effectiveness, or sometimes even become unsafe to use. Furthermore, due to short shelf life, they require cold temperatures, which can lead to problems during transportation or distribution. Thus, all these factors can decrease the stability of protein therapeutics, causing limited access.
Rising Rare Disease Therapeutics
Patients suffering from rare diseases show the absence or malfunctioning of proteins, enzymes, or genes. Thus, this increases the need for protein therapeutics. Personalized treatment options can be made available to patients by using protein therapeutics for formulating them. Furthermore, target-specific mechanisms can also be used to enhance the action and reduce the side effects of the treatments. Similarly, protein or enzyme replacement can be carried out using protein therapeutics. Thus, all these factors enhance the protein therapeutics market growth.
