Global Aptamers Market is anticipated to reach USD 8.91 billion by 2025. Aptamers imply peptide or oligonucleotides molecules that bind to the target protein, nucleic acid, lipid molecules with high specificity. Rapidly generated Aptamers are applied for specific detection, characterization, and inhibition of proteins. They have several characteristics and could be used as pharmaceutical leads, detection reagents, small molecules, efficient proteomic stages with antibodies, and other aptamers.
The factors that propel the growth of the aptamers industry include a strong trend of R&D savings in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, technological advancements, patent expiration of systematic development of ligands by exponential improvement technology (SELEX), and the low price and high productivity of aptamers in binding to large molecules as related to antibodies. On the other hand, some factors may hamper the growth of the market including low awareness of technology, and low-income countries. Aptamers Market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 28.2% in the upcoming period as the scope, product types, and applications are increasing across the globe.
