Peptide therapeutics is a type of treatment in which the peptides are used to activate the functions of the cells against the diseases. The peptide is a signaling molecule which binds to the receptors on the cells to activate the cell to secrete molecules. 

Peptide Therapeutics Market: Overview

Peptide therapeutics are naturally created disease-treating small chain amino acids known as peptides. They assist humans in hormone creation and are excellent at protecting from infections. Since peptide therapeutics are naturally created by the body, they do not have any side effects and are easily accepted by the body during medical treatments.

Peptide therapeutics are century-old but were only known for their healing abilities. However, with technological advancements and extensive R&D, it was discovered that peptide therapeutics have extreme potential in treating severe diseases with great efficiency. The global peptide therapeutics market has a substantial presence in the field of acute respiratory disorders, endocrinology, oncology, metabolism disorders, diabetes, dermatology, gastroenterology, and sexual dysfunction. They are also used to treat cardiovascular diseases and bone diseases.

Peptide Therapeutics Market: Growth Drivers

Increase in cancer patients and respiratory disorders to propel the global market growth

The growing number of patients suffering from cancer and its after-effects is a leading global market driver. The most prevalent treatment for cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation which leave long-lasting impacts on the patients giving rise to requirements for substitutes like peptide therapeutics. This is expected to move the global peptide therapeutics market forward. Other chronic diseases like diabetes or cardiovascular diseases are also contributing to the global market growth.

Rising demand for drugs that have minimal to no side effects like peptide therapeutics is attributed to becoming the global market driver during the forecast period. Exhaustive R&D on diseases that might raise global concerns and which can be treated by peptide therapeutics in the future is anticipated to drive the global market.

Peptide Therapeutics Market: Restraints

Unstable nature of peptide therapeutics likely to hamper the market growth

Peptide therapeutics are extremely unstable rendering them difficult to be used. They can aggregate quickly resulting in damage to healthy cells. The volatility of peptide proteins is projected to act as a restraining factor for the global market growth.

In most cases, peptide therapeutics cannot be administered orally. The invasive techniques used for the intake of peptide-based drugs may cause reluctance amongst certain sections of the global population and are anticipated to restrain the global market during the forecast period. Peptide therapeutics lack deep membrane permeability thus reducing the overall efficiency of the products, which is further anticipated to restrict the global market growth. Peptide therapeutics tend to oxidize under improper care. The easy oxidization of peptide proteins increases task tediousness and is expected to hamper the global market.

Peptide Therapeutics Market: Opportunities

The advent of multi-functional peptide therapeutics to bring growth prospects in the coming period

The global peptide therapeutics market has immense opportunities given the innumerable benefits of peptide-based drugs. The creation of multi-functional peptide therapeutics with an even wider array of use is anticipated to provide excellent growth opportunities in the global market.

Increased innovation in alternate delivery modes of peptide therapeutics is expected to open multiple opportunities for the global market during the forecast period. Even though the presence of peptide therapeutics in the human body has been for more than a century, their discovery is a recent event. With every passing day more & more peptide therapeutics are added to the global market. As of 2022, there are more than 200 peptide therapeutics in the global market and with ongoing R&D, more are expected to be added soon.

This is anticipated to open multiple growth opportunities in the global market.

Peptide Therapeutics Market: Challenges

The shift towards proteomics, high cost of peptide therapeutics along with quick expiration of patents to challenge the global market growth

The global market is expected to move toward the study of proteins also called proteomics to create substitutes for peptide-based drugs which is anticipated to challenge the global market growth during the forecast period. The development of peptide therapeutics is an expensive affair and the high cost of production & maintenance is anticipated to create challenging situations in the global market. The creation of novel drugs requires approval from regulatory bodies and the approval process is extremely stringent which is anticipated to become a challenging factor in the global market. A considerable number of patents for peptide therapeutics expire quickly which results in heavy losses to drug manufacturers and is anticipated to oppose the global market growth during the forecast period.
