The increase in demand for oral peptides, particularly for the treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes and central nervous system (CNS) disorders, is a major driver of growth in this market. Additionally, rising investments in research and development by key players are leading to the creation and launch of innovative oral peptides. Continuous advancements in drug delivery technologies are also contributing to market expansion.
However, the market faces challenges, including high development costs and obstacles related to formulation and stability, which hinder growth.
"The semaglutide molecule segment accounted for the largest share of the market, by molecule, in 2024."
In 2024, the semaglutide segment held the largest share of the global oral proteins and peptides market. Semaglutide is an analog of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. It is used to manage type 2 diabetes and obesity. Semaglutide functions by enhancing insulin secretion in response to elevated blood glucose levels, reducing glucagon release (which normally raises blood sugar), and promoting a feeling of fullness after eating, thereby helping to reduce food intake.
Oral semaglutide, marketed as RYBELSUS, is the first oral GLP-1 receptor agonist approved by the US FDA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. As a class, GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely utilized and recommended for managing type 2 diabetes.
"The US will continue to dominate the oral proteins and peptides market during the forecast period."
The US is the largest biopharmaceutical market in the world and a leader in biopharmaceutical research and investments. This growth is driven by several factors, including the increasing patient population suffering from infectious diseases, the rising importance of biopharmaceuticals, and the need for safe, high-quality products in the healthcare sector. There has been a significant increase in investments and funding for biomedical research from government agencies as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Furthermore, the early adoption of emerging technologies and alternative therapies and the widespread availability of oral proteins and peptides in the region support market expansion. The strong presence of several key market players, including Novo Nordisk A/S (Denmark), AbbVie, Inc. (US), and Pfizer Inc. (US), is another crucial factor contributing to this growth.
Novo Nordisk A/S (Denmark), AbbVie Inc. (US), Pfizer Inc. (US), Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (US), Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Canada), Bausch Health Companies Inc. (Canada), CHIESI Farmaceutici S.p.A. (Italy), EnteraBio Ltd. (Israel), Merck & Co., Inc. (US), Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. (US), R-Pharm JSC (Russia), Proxima Concepts (US), and SWK Holdings Corporation (US)
