Proteomics is the large-scale study of the proteome, or proteins. It provides a detailed understanding of the structure or function of the organism better than genomics. The different types of techniques include one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, gel-free high-throughput screening technologies, and stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture. Proteomics is used to investigate the rates of protein production, the movement of proteins between subcellular compartments, and the involvement of proteins in metabolic pathways.
Several factors govern the market, including the rising prevalence of chronic disorders and growing research and development activities. Several government organizations launch initiatives and provide funding for various research activities related to proteomics. The growing demand for precision therapeutics boosts the market. The increasing collaboration among academic researchers and industry leaders promotes advanced research. The advent of advanced technologies drives the latest innovations in proteomics.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize proteomics by enhancing data processing, pattern recognition, and prediction in proteomics. Integrating AI in proteomics expedites the drug discovery process and fosters deeper understanding. AI identifies functional domains within proteins, aiding in understanding their roles in biological processes. It also predicts protein-protein interactions to study human biology. It can be used to incorporate proteomics data with genomics and metabolomics, uncovering systems-level insights into cellular mechanisms. AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms analyze vast amounts of data and identify potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
Growing Drug Discovery Research
Proteomics is widely used to evaluate the structure and function of various proteins in the body. The rising prevalence of chronic disorders necessitates researchers to develop novel drugs. Novel drugs are discovered based on the protein structure, facilitating the binding of drugs to the desired protein site. Thereafter, the drugs amplify the protein action and help reduce disease progression, thereby treating the condition. The growing demand for personalized medicines also potentiates new drug discovery research. The availability of a suitable regulatory framework and new product approvals favor drug discovery.
The above graph demonstrates the total number of new drugs approved by various regulatory agencies in 2024. China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approved the largest number of novel drugs (83) in 2024, followed by the U.S. (50) and Europe (46).
Difficulty in Quantifying Low Abundance Proteins
The major challenge of the proteomics market is the difficulty in quantifying low-abundance proteins. Low-abundance proteins are those detected in small amounts. Conventional methods are not sensitive enough to detect such low amounts of protein. Hence, novel sensitive methods need to be developed for low-abundance proteins.
Personalized Medicines
The future of the market is promising, driven by the growing need for personalized medicines. The rapidly changing demographics and increasing geriatric population facilitate the development of personalized medicines for various chronic disorders. Several government organizations have launched initiatives to encourage precision medicine research and development. The U.S. government has launched the “Precision Medicine Initiative” to understand a person’s genetics, environment, and lifestyle. The initiative was launched to generate the scientific evidence needed to move the concept of precision medicine into clinical practice. (Source - NIH)
