- Driver: Growth in Investments in Biotech Companies
Increased investment in biotech companies in 2020 supported the development of the proteomics market. The pandemic has adversely affected most sectors, including healthcare. However, publicly traded biotech companies saw investment growth in March 2020 after the first indiscriminate shock in share prices. The Nasdaq Biotech Index has surged 11% since early 2020 after he surged 20% in 2019, taking him from a slump to a five-year high. generated nearly US$8 billion in revenue, up from the same period in 2019. Hence, increased investment in biotech companies during the COVID-19 outbreak is one of the key factors behind the growth of the proteomics market.
- Challenge: High Cost Of Instruments
Companies rely on publicly available structure data and trial-and-error methods to identify compounds that either stimulate or inhibit target proteins. Protein structure requires the use of fast, high throughput tools and machines. One of the most widely used methods in proteomics is X-ray crystallography, which is used for gene cloning, protein expression, purification, and crystallization of proteins. All of these procedures necessitate a large number of laboratory hours, which raises the per-sample testing costs. The high cost of instruments and reagents makes it difficult for developing countries to enter the proteomics field. The need for a longer period of time in the laboratories means that the cost of the treatment increases. The expensive equipment and chemicals used in this technology are limiting its use in developing countries. A popular method for proteomics is X-ray crystallography, which allows for protein expression and gene cloning. The powder can help in protein crystallization and purification. The process of adopting these procedures in developing nations will be less effective due to the time-consuming nature of the process. This is a challenge for the market's growth in the long run, as it will limit the market's growth.
- Trend: Artificial Intelligence in Proteomics
One of the most significant advances in proteomics in recent years has been the "boost" provided by artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods. At various stages of the proteomics analytical pipeline, machine learning, deep learning, and other AI approaches are being used. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in proteomics are already reshaping the drug discovery landscape. Understanding how and why specific proteins interact is critical for progressing cell biology, developing new drugs, and determining how drugs may have both therapeutic and adverse effects. Aside from MS-based methods, AI is making inroads into the choreography of protein movements, a research area critical to understanding pathologies characterized by tangled, clumped up proteins, such as Alzheimer's disease. The key methods used in this space, microscopy and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), generate large data sets that require time and expertise to analyze.
The COVID-19 Analysis:
