The Protein Drugs Market was valued at USD 441.7 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 655.7 Billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 8.2%.

Therapeutic proteins are a class of medicines that help treat a number of indications, such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, anemia and hemophilia. Protein drugs perform particular and complex functions compared to small molecules. Due to the high specificity, these protein drugs are less toxic and less likely to interfere with normal biological processes. Protein drugs can be manufactured in many ways, but most proteins are produced through recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) technology, using bacteria, yeast or mammalian cells as the host system.
