Protein Analyzer Market Report 2026

The protein analyzer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.59 billion in 2025 to $3.88 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in biochemical research activities, expansion of food and feed testing laboratories, adoption of kjeldahl and dumas methods, increasing protein consumption analysis needs, development of laboratory analytical instruments.

The protein analyzer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.5 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in biotechnology and life sciences research, rising demand for protein rich food products, expansion of pharmaceutical research and development, adoption of rapid and automated testing solutions, increasing focus on food safety and quality regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of automated protein analysis systems, growing use of protein analyzers in food quality testing, increasing demand for high accuracy and rapid protein quantification, expansion of portable and benchtop protein analyzers, integration of advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques.

The increasing demand for protein-rich foods is anticipated to boost the growth of the protein analyzers market in the future. Protein-rich foods encompass dairy products, seeds and nuts, meat, and other items high in protein, which is essential for the human body. Protein analyzers are primarily utilized in restaurants and beverage laboratories to assess the nutritional value and protein content of foods such as meat, milk, and eggs. For example, a report from the Food and Agriculture Organization, an Italy-based specialized agency, predicts that by 2033, the consumption of protein-rich foods like poultry, pork, beef, and sheep meat will rise by 16%, 8%, 11%, and 16%, respectively. Additionally, per capita meat consumption is expected to grow by 2% during the same timeframe. Thus, the increasing demand for protein-rich foods is a key factor driving the growth of the protein analyzer market.

Major companies in the protein analyzers market are concentrating on creating technologically advanced solutions, such as the Agilent ProteoAnalyzer system, to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of protein analysis. This innovative automated parallel capillary electrophoresis platform is specifically designed to improve the efficiency of protein analysis. For instance, in January 2024, Agilent Technologies, a US-based provider of a diverse range of instruments, software, services, and consumables, launched the Agilent ProteoAnalyzer system. This state-of-the-art platform can process up to 12 samples simultaneously in about 30 minutes using capillary electrophoresis with sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS), effectively separating proteins ranging from 10 to 240 kDa. This makes it particularly suitable for analyzing monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars, and crude cell lysates.

In January 2023, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, acquired The Binding Site Group for approximately $2.8 billion. The acquisition broadens, diversifies, and enriches Thermo's portfolio by expanding the specialty diagnostics segment with an industry leader in oncology testing for multiple myeloma detection and monitoring. The Binding Site Group is a UK-based provider of portfolio of analyzers for protein analysis.
