Protein A Resin Global Market Report 2026

Protein A resin is a type of chromatography resin widely utilized in protein purification processes, particularly for the purification of antibodies and monoclonal antibody products.

The main types of protein A resins include natural protein A and recombinant protein A. Natural protein A is a high-efficiency chromatography medium produced in the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. The matrix types involved in protein A resins are agarose-based protein A, glass/silica-based protein A, and organic polymer-based protein A. These resins find applications in various processes, including antibody purification and immunoprecipitation. Protein A resins are commonly employed by biopharmaceutical manufacturers, clinical research laboratories, and academic institutes.

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.

Tariffs are influencing the protein a resin market by increasing costs of imported agarose matrices, recombinant ligands, specialty polymers, and purification chemicals.
