Protein detection and quantification involves identifying and measuring proteins in biological samples using diverse techniques and assays. These processes are crucial in research, diagnostics, and industry, supporting endeavors such as biomarker discovery, drug development, clinical diagnostics, proteomics, biomanufacturing quality control, and personalized medicine.
Key products in protein detection and quantification include kits and reagents, instruments, and services. Kits and reagents are vital for protein detection assays, containing specialized substances that interact with proteins to facilitate their detection and quantification. These kits typically consist of antibodies, enzymes, substrates, and buffers tailored for specific protein assays. Various technologies employed include colorimetric assays, immunological methods, chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy instruments, and others. These technologies find applications in drug discovery, clinical diagnostics, and more, serving end users such as academic research institutes, biotechnology firms, pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, and others.
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 rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The protein detection and quantification market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides protein detection and quantification market statistics, including protein detection and quantification industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a protein detection and quantification market share, detailed protein detection and quantification market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the protein detection and quantification industry. This protein detection and quantification 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 detection and quantification market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.28 billion in 2024 to $2.47 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased prevalence of chronic diseases, expanded applications in clinical diagnostics, increasing emphasis on personalized medicine, and rising need for proteomics research.
The protein detection and quantification market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.41 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to escalating demand for personalized medicine, growing applications in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics, increasing adoption of automation and robotics, and adoption of point-of-care testing. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of AI-powered platforms, collaborations and partnerships, technological developments, and research on multiplexing.
The forecast of 8.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of Western blot antibodies and microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices sourced from Denmark and China, thereby slowing diagnostic validation and elevating pathology lab expenses. 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 increasing demand for personalized medicine is expected to drive growth in the protein detection and quantification market. Personalized medicine involves tailoring medical treatments to individual patient needs, leveraging advancements in omics technology, data integration, genetics, and the importance of customized patient-specific therapies and preventive measures. Protein detection and quantification play a crucial role in personalized medicine by identifying and measuring specific proteins that serve as biomarkers for tailored patient care. For instance, in 2022, the Personalized Medicine Coalition reported that 12 new personalized medicines were approved, accounting for approximately 34% of all newly approved treatments, marking a significant increase compared to previous years. Thus, the rising demand for personalized medicine is a key driver of growth in the protein detection and quantification market.
Leading companies in the protein detection and quantification market are focusing on innovation, such as the development of protein co-detection kits, to maintain their market position. These kits enable simultaneous detection of multiple proteins within a sample, utilizing specific antibodies or probes for different target proteins, accompanied by necessary reagents and detection protocols. For example, Vizgen Inc., a US-based biotechnology firm, launched the Protein Co-detection Kit for the MERSCOPE Platform in September 2022. This kit enhances capabilities in capturing spatial gene expression and protein localization, facilitating comprehensive single-cell analysis and deeper insights into complex biological processes. It provides researchers with a robust toolset for studying cellular diversity, biomarker identification, and disease mechanisms, thereby advancing precision medicine and therapeutic development.
In February 2022, WATERS Corporation, a US-based provider of analytical instruments and software, acquired technology assets from Megadalton Solutions Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aimed to expand Waters' applications in cell and gene therapy, leveraging Megadalton Solutions' innovative CDMS technology. Megadalton Solutions Inc. is a US-based early-stage charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) technology and services developer.
