Abstract

This article discusses the state of the peptide therapeutics market, with special emphasis on the application is managing metabolic disorders and cancers. The wide-ranging application of peptides in numerous disease indications has bolstered the global peptide therapeutics market. Pharma companies are increasing their research and development spending to gain a stronghold in a market which was valued at $17.5 Bn in 2015. Along with offering a detailed analysis of the peptide therapeutics market, this article offers market figures on the basis of disease indication and 10-year region-wise forecast in the three largest markets – North America, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ).

Peptides are growing in prominence in the pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) sector, owing to their wide-ranging applications in the effective management of a number of diseases. Peptide therapeutics are easy to produce as compared to protein-based biopharmaceuticals, offering a substantial cost advantage to pharma companies.

Over the last two decades or so, innovation in development of peptides, such as multifunctional and cell penetrating peptides, has opened up a plethora of opportunities for use of peptides in therapy. Development of peptide therapeutics is also growing on account of evolution of hybrid technology – which combines both solid and liquid synthesis of naturally occurring peptides. Peptide conjugation and modification strategies offer the potential to unlock the full potential of peptides for therapeutic benefit.
