Thus, an increasing population is contributing to the expansion in the food and pharmaceutical industries, driving the global asparaginase market.
During COVID-19 has Spain, Italy, UK, France, and Germany were the worst affected European countries. According to Spanish Ministry of Health’s report, 2020, about 1,773,000 cases and 48,000 deaths of COVID-19 were reported in Spain. About 20% of cases were registered in the Community of Madrid, accounting for 11,000 deaths and makes it severely affected areas in Europe. Cancer patients are at high risk of contracting COVID-19 and severe complications. Due to sudden lockdown and movement restriction, only emergency procedures were allowed. Asia Pacific was the first region to face an outbreak, the region has quickly changed how they manage trials, and most are able to deliver the clinical trial services their clients need. Biotech companies are currently initiating more clinical trials in the region. For Instance: since the initial outbreak, the situation in Asia Pacific has improved. As of May 2020, 97% of the sites re-opened for patient visits and 83% of the sites are open for on-site CRA visits. While in MEA and SCAM region COVID-19 pandemic had slight negative impact on the asparaginase market growth.
The demand for asparaginase enzyme is growing in the food processing industry as it reduces the acrylamide formation in the food under specific cooking conditions. Continuous innovations and increased demand for processed food are driving the growth of the global asparaginase market. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA 2015), use of L-asparaginase presents a high potential to reduce the acrylamide content in thermally treated food without compromising their sensorial or nutritional aspects.
The rapidly growing healthcare industry is expected to increase the demand for asparaginase during the forecast period. Due to the increasing demand for asparaginase, there is a rising investment by the market players in R&D and the production of asparaginase. For instance, In 2019, researchers at the University of Illinois, Chicago, secured about US$ 1 million in funding for developing a less toxic version of chemotherapy using asparaginase to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Thus, the rise in research activities is anticipated to boost the growth of the global asparaginase market during the forecast period.
