Liquid Phase Peptide Synthesis Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Advancement in Technology – Continuous Advancement in Liquid-phase synthesis methods, such as automated peptide synthesizers and novel coupling chemistries, enhance efficiency and scalability, thereby driving the market’s growth.
• Expanding Applications- Diversification of peptide synthesis  applications beyond pharmaceuticals, including diagnostics, cosmetics, and research purposes, broadens the market scope and drives growth.
• Rising Research & Development Activities- Expanded research activities in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, focusing on developing new peptide-based drugs, stimulate the demand for liquid-phase peptide techniques. For instance, it is reported that  one-pot liquid phase peptide synthesis process that involves adding amino acids to a "nanostar" support iteratively and using organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) to isolate the developing peptide at the end of each synthesis cycle.This made it possible to synthesize peptides more effectively while keeping all of the advantages of liquid phase synthesis. First, enkephalin-like model penta- and decapeptides were synthesized, followed by octreotate amide, and ultimately octreotate, in order to verify PEPSTAR. In comparison to vendor-produced samples from solid phase synthesis, the crude purities compared satisfactorily.
• Government Initiatives- Supportive regulatory policies and funding initiatives by the government to promote peptide-based drug development encourage market growth by fostering innovation and investment in Liquid-phase peptide synthesis technology.

Challenges

• Complexity in sequence design- peptide synthesis can be complex due to the diversity of peptide sequences desired. Designing and optimizing sequences for desired properties can be challenging.
• Liquid peptide synthesis can be expensive to plot a large-scale plant.
• Different amino acids have varying reactivity and compatibility, making it challenging to find suitable reaction conditions for diverse sequences without side reactions or impurities.
