Instruments segment accounts for the maximum market share in 2022

The growth of the segment is mainly driven by rapid growth in the usage of instruments in drug discovery and diagnostic testing-related activities. The emerging trend of more advanced and innovative instruments among key market companies worldwide to enhance overall user experience and expand their market reach is also contributing significantly to market growth.

Moreover, the enzymes segment is expected to account for a considerable market share over the projected period owing to the rising use of a variety of enzymes in cancer research and diagnostics. In addition, enzymes are also widely used in various therapeutic approaches for diseases caused by deficiencies like diabetes, Gaucher disease, and Tay Sachs disease and their therapeutic use further includes direct anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and antiviral activities. Thus, the segment market is projected to have a positive impact on growth in the coming years. 

The drug discovery & development segment held the highest market share in 2022

The drug discovery & development segment was the largest segment in terms of revenue in 2022, which is highly attributable to a rapid surge in the demand for glycomics products in the drug discovery sector and continuously increasing potential of biomarker discovery. In addition, high demand for a variety of personalized medicine to treat chronic diseases and enhancement in personalized glycol medicine coupled with the growing financial support and funding by governments across many countries to accelerate the R&D activities are also likely to propel the revenue growth of the segment market.

In recent years, with the rising burden of chronic diseases across the globe, the need to develop new and more effective drugs is also gaining traction. Glycans play a key role in many biological processes including cell-cell interaction, thereby having high importance in drug development. According to the World Health Organization, around 500 million people will be living with heart diseases, obesity, and other non-communicable diseases between the period of 2020 and 2030. And, cost of treating new cases of preventable diseases is likely to reach about USD 300 million by 2030, and every year, nearly USD 27 billion is projected to increase in healthcare costs.

Pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies are expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period.

The pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies are likely to witness high a growth rate during the anticipated period, which is mainly attributed to a high focus on the implementation of cutting-edge technologies like regenerative medicine and expansion in the offerings by contract manufacturing organizations for biotechnology and pharmaceutical products.

Pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies are well known to provide effective and cost-saving options to their customers along with the reduction in the average time taken needed for the management and operation of facilities for both manufacturing and research. Moreover, there has been a rapid boost in incorporation of novel product categories such as nanobodies, synthetic vaccines, fusion protein, immune-therapeutics, and soluble receptors, which creates new growth opportunities for the market.

North America dominated the global market in 2022

The growth of the regional market can be attributed to rising research & development activities in the field of glycobiology and increasing prevalence of numerous types of personalized medicine and high consumer spending capacity on their health and well-being mainly in developed economies like the United States and Canada.

Furthermore, the Asia Pacific region is likely to emerge as the fastest-growing region at a highest CAGR throughout the forecast period, on account of extensive rise in the biopharmaceutical industry and heavy investments in CROs for developing biologics and drugs.

Additionally, rapidly growing population burden in countries like China and India and lack of awareness regarding importance of physical activities and exercises, led to growth in the number of chronic illnesses among people, which in turn, drive the market.
