Protein Characterization And Identification Global Market Report 2025
Protein characterization and identification are integral parts of recombinant protein expression, involving the identification and characterization of final protein products. This process employs analytical methods and techniques to ensure the production of high-quality protein products.
The main types of protein characterization and identification components include consumables, instruments, and services. Consumables in protein characterization and identification are used for identifying and measuring protein substances, as well as detecting the presence or concentration of a protein in a solution through antibody-antigen reactions. These applications find use in drug discovery and development, as well as clinical diagnosis. End-users of protein characterization and identification products include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic research institutions, contract research organizations, and other related entities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

This protein characterization and identification market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The protein characterization and identification market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $18.93 billion in 2024 to $21.45 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in proteomics research, focus on disease mechanisms, bioinformatics integration, protein structure determination, genomics to proteomics transition.
The protein characterization and identification market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.26 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand for bioinformatics solutions, rise in biopharmaceuticals, precision medicine growth, increased research funding, biomedical research expansion. Major trends in the forecast period include mass spectrometry advancements, proteomics in drug development, advancements in chromatography, automation and high-throughput methods, bioinformatics integration.
The forecast of 16.3% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased costs for mass spectrometry ionization sources and chromatography columns, primarily imported from Switzerland and Japan, leading to higher prices for proteomics research and biopharmaceutical development.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rise in drug development activities is fueling the growth of the protein characterization and identification market. Drug development refers to the process of bringing a novel therapeutic molecule into clinical use. Accurate determination of protein quantities is essential in developing biopharmaceutical drugs and conducting various research projects, which is achieved through protein characterization and identification. Precise measurement of protein content is critical for establishing the drug product's dosage and quantifying other essential quality attributes. For example, in June 2024, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, a Belgium-based trade association, reported that the production value in the pharmaceutical industry rose from $385.1 million (€363.3 million) to an estimated $413.4 million (€390 million) between 2022 and 2023, indicating a significant increase in drug development activities. Thus, the surge in drug development initiatives is propelling the protein characterization and identification market.
Growing healthcare expenditure is anticipated to further boost the protein characterization and identification market in the coming years. Healthcare expenditure encompasses the consumption of resources aimed at promoting, restoring, and maintaining health. Rising healthcare spending enhances the protein characterization and identification sector by facilitating improved research techniques and expanding the industry. For instance, in May 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based executive office of the UK Statistics Authority, reported that UK healthcare expenditure reached approximately $370.8 billion (£292 billion) in 2023, reflecting a nominal increase of 5.6% from the previous year. Therefore, the upward trend in healthcare expenditure is driving the growth of the protein characterization and identification market.
A key trend in the protein characterization and identification market is product innovation, with major players introducing novel solutions. For example, in January 2023, SCIEX launched the Fast Glycan Labeling and Analysis kit and a software upgrade for the Biologics Explorer program. These innovations provide fast and accurate characterization of biotherapeutics, contributing to the ongoing trend of product innovation in the protein characterization and identification market.
Major companies in the protein characterization and identification market are concentrating on introducing innovative tools, such as mass spectrometers, to maintain a competitive edge. Mass spectrometers, analytical instruments measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, find applications in various fields, including protein identification. In June 2023, Bruker Corporation launched the timsTOF Ultra Mass Spectrometer, incorporating transformative sensitivity and advanced features for protein characterization and identification. This reflects the industry's focus on developing cutting-edge tools to meet evolving needs.
In July 2024, Thermo Fisher Scientific, a US-based company specializing in life sciences and clinical research, acquired Olink Holding AB for $3.1 billion. This acquisition is intended to bolster Thermo Fisher's presence in the rapidly expanding proteomics sector by utilizing Olink's innovative proximity extension assay (PEA) technology. This strategic move will enhance Thermo Fisher's current life sciences and mass spectrometry portfolio, facilitating advancements in protein biomarker discovery and precision medicine. Olink is a Sweden-based provider of next-generation proteomics solutions.
