Protein electrophoresis is a laboratory method employed to separate proteins based on their size, charge, and other properties by applying an electric field to a gel or similar medium. This technique is essential for analyzing protein mixtures, identifying protein bands, and evaluating protein purity. It plays a vital role in research, diagnostics, and monitoring therapeutic treatments.
The primary types of protein electrophoresis include serum protein electrophoresis, immunostationary electrophoresis, isoenzyme electrophoresis, lipoprotein electrophoresis, hemoglobin electrophoresis, glycosylated hemoglobin electrophoresis, non-concentrated urine protein electrophoresis, and cerebrospinal fluid electrophoresis. Serum protein electrophoresis is specifically used to separate and analyze proteins in the blood based on their size and charge. Techniques in this field encompass sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), native PAGE, 1-D PAGE, and 2-D PAGE, with gel types including agarose gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Applications of these techniques span protein analysis, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostics. They are used by various end users, such as hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, academic and research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and biotechnology firms.

The protein electrophoresis market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.94 billion in 2024 to $3.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and genetic disorders, growing research and development in proteomics, technological advancements in electrophoresis equipment.
The protein electrophoresis market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.02 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advances in multi-omics technologies integrating electrophoresis, increased investments in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, growing focus on precision medicine and targeted therapies, expansion of applications in clinical diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring, and development of automated and high-throughput electrophoresis systems. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of AI and machine learning, the development of advanced microfluidics, portable and user-friendly electrophoresis devices for point-of-care testing, personalized and precision medicine applications, and advancements in software.
The protein electrophoresis market is expected to grow significantly due to the rising prevalence of cancer. This increase in cancer cases is attributed to factors such as aging populations, lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and advancements in diagnostic methods. Protein electrophoresis plays a crucial role for cancer patients by detecting abnormal proteins in the blood, which aids in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of various cancers. For instance, in April 2024, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), based in France, and the American Cancer Society (ACS), a US-based non-profit organization, reported approximately 20 million new cancer cases globally in 2022. The report projected a 77% increase, with annual cases expected to reach 35 million by 2050. Lung cancer was the most frequently diagnosed, representing 12.4% of cases, followed by breast cancer at 11.6% and colorectal cancer at 9.6%. Lung cancer also had the highest mortality rate, causing 1.8 million deaths (18.7%), with colorectal cancer at 9.3% and liver cancer at 7.8%. The growing incidence of cancer is anticipated to drive the expansion of the protein electrophoresis market.
Key players in the protein electrophoresis market are concentrating on developing advanced products, such as vertical electrophoresis systems, to enhance their market position. A vertical electrophoresis system is laboratory equipment designed to separate biomolecules, such as proteins or nucleic acids, based on their size, charge, or other properties through gel electrophoresis. For example, in November 2023, TransGen Biotech Co. Ltd., a France-based manufacturer of molecular and cellular biology reagents, introduced the TSE-P Mini Vertical Electrophoresis System. This system is engineered to improve the efficiency of protein separation and transfer, enabling researchers to analyze protein composition, diversity, and interactions within samples. The vertical electrophoresis unit allows for the separation of proteins or nucleic acids based on size and charge and is compatible with both pre-cast and hand-cast gels, accommodating various gel thicknesses and well sizes. The transfer system supports the effective transfer of separated proteins or nucleic acids from the gel to a membrane, such as nitrocellulose, for further analysis or detection.
In October 2022, Sebia S.A., a France-based medical equipment company, acquired Zeus Scientific Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is intended to enhance Sebia's capabilities and product offerings in the autoimmunity sector while bolstering its operational presence in the United States. Zeus Scientific Inc., a US-based company, specializes in clinical protein electrophoresis and in vitro diagnostic testing.
