The peptide therapeutics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the size of the peptide therapeutics market has seen swift expansion. It is projected to rise from $45.15 billion in 2024 to $49.67 billion in 2025, maintaining a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%.
The growth seen in the historical period can be traced back to factors such as a rise in chronic disease prevalence, enhanced comprehension of molecular biology, and widening utilization in the field of oncology.
The peptide therapeutics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the coming years, a surge is expected in the market size for peptide therapeutics, with the estimated value expected to reach approximately $76.64 billion by 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 11.5%.
Several factors can be attributed to this anticipated growth during the forecasted period, namely the rising demand for personalized healthcare solutions, the increasing usage in immunotherapy, advancements made in peptide delivery platforms, the unveiling of peptide targets in the context of infectious illnesses, and an amplified focus on rare diseases. Noteworthy trends in the upcoming period include the technological enhancements in the process of peptide synthesis, increased investments and funding, a significant focus on the safety of peptide drugs, market growth in developing economies, and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI).
The peptide therapeutics market's growth is projected to be driven by the rising occurrence of chronic illnesses. These illnesses, which are typically enduring and often not entirely curable, can occasionally be managed and treated. Factors such as increased tobacco use, poor nutritional habits, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol consumption have contributed to the surge of chronic diseases. Peptide therapeutics play a critical role in preventing and treating some of these diseases. For instance, the National Library of Medicine, a US agency, projected in January 2023 that by 2050, the population of people aged 50 and older suffering from at least one chronic ailment in the US would grow by 99.5%, amounting to 142.66 million individuals. Consequently, the escalation in chronic disease prevalence is anticipated to fuel the peptide therapeutics market during the projected period.

Prominent firms in the peptide therapeutics market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions like the cell culture process to enhance their competitive position. The cell culture process, which involves growing cells outside their natural environment under regulated conditions and isolating interested cells from living tissue, is one such advancement. For example, Evonik Industries AG, a specialty chemical corporation based in Germany, introduced cQrex KC in June 2023. This next-generation peptide is crafted for biopharma applications and specifically designed for the cell culture process used in the production of biological medications. This innovation not only assists cell culture process developers in optimizing cystine supply but also boosts cell culture productivity. Additionally, cQrex KC plays an instrumental role in the progress of vaccines, viral vectors, and cell therapies.
