Cell-free protein expression (CFPE) is used to produce recombinant proteins in solution without the involvement of living cells. This method is widely used in enzyme engineering, protein labelling, protein purification, protein-protein interaction, and high throughput mutant production. It is also used for analysing elements required for protein stability, degradation, and folding. The cell-free protein expression method is time efficient and convenient, which allows the incorporation of non-natural amino acids, and provides enhanced stability and specificity. The growth of the Asia-Pacific Cell Free Protein Expression market is driven by rise in prevalence of cancer and infectious diseases in Asian countries along with increasing R&D activities in proteomics and genomics. Furthermore, the rise in demand for personalized medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases is expected to positively contribute to the growth of the market.
The growth of the market is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and others. The International Diabetes Federation estimated that there were 382 million people with diabetes in 2013, a number surpassing its earlier predictions. More than 60% of the people with diabetes live in Asia, with almost one-half in China and India combined. According to the World Health Organization, 55% of all deaths in the Southeast Asia region are due to non-communicable diseases NCDs – that is nearly 8 million people every year. Thus, rising cases of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and others create a demand for personalized medicine which can be achieved using cell-free protein expression. This is expected to drive the growth of the Asia-Pacific cell-free protein expression market over the forecast period. Furthermore, the rise in utilization of cell-free protein expression in the pharmaceutical industry for developing protein-based therapeutics, such as antibodies, antimicrobials, and cytokines, for treating cancer and infectious diseases is expected to positively impact the growth of the market.
Rising investments in R&D along with an increase in innovative research projects is expected to provide an ample opportunity for the market. For instance, researchers from Australian National University (ANU) have developed eCells (encapsulated cells) - a new protein production platform based on microbial cells, in which cell walls are replaced with permeable polymer encapsulations to gain full control over essential biochemical processes for cell-free protein synthesis.
The cell-free protein expression offers low protein production, making it unsuitable for large industrial applications. This, in turn, is likely to hamper the growth of the market. Additionally, the high cost and short reaction scale of cell-free protein expression are expected to restrain the growth of the market.
The cost of the research activities involved in cell-free protein expression is significantly high, it may impact the growth of the market in developing nations. Also, a lack of skilled labour in low-income nations is expected to be a major challenge for the market’s growth over the forecast period.
