Alteration such as localization or in the activity of enzymes involved in glycan biosynthesis ultimately results in changing of the final glycan structure. Therefore, apart from genetic markups of individuals, glycans can be analyzed to assess environmentally induced changes. This study can be used in disease diagnosis and drug discovery. This is one of the major factors propelling segment growth.

A large number of research studies have been conducted to commercialize glycoside inhibitors that are known to alter N-linked glycans of cancer cells and viruses. Therapeutic use of theseenzymesinclude direct antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-cancer activities. They aid in treatment of diseases caused by deficiencies such as Tay-Sachs disease and Gaucher disease, and most importantly, diabetes. Thus, among enzymes, glycosidases held the largest market share in terms of revenue. The segment is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 16.1% from 2019 to 2026.

Various research studies indicate that epigenetic regulation of glycans in cancer cells results in formation of new glycan structures. These structures are one of the mechanisms used by cancerous cells to evade immune response in a host. Scientists have designed genetic engineered cell models to understand functions of specific glycan cancer epitopes. These factors are therefore anticipated to propel market growth during the forecast period.

End Use Insights

Collaborations between major organizations and research institutes are further supporting the segment expansion. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to increasing R&D investments in drug discovery and development and in other glycobiology based studies.

Increasing adoption of glycan structure data analysis by research centers also contributes to the segment growth. Preference for glycomics for training and educational purposes is another factor contributing to the segment growth. A wide range of applications in drug discovery and development, biomedical research, cell biology, immunology, and biochemistry is expected to drive the market in near future.

Application Insights

On the basis of application, drug discovery and development accounted for the largest market share in 2018. This is primarily owing to extensive R&D and increased government funding for research related to glycomics and proteomics. The other applications segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to rising clinical trials and R&D expenses incurred by key companies for research. For instance, R&D expenditure of Merck accounted for USD 2.4 billion in 2017.

Research in glycome informatics, which helps in identification and analysis of drug targets and biomarkers, is increasing due to wide application of glycan structure analysis in bioinformatics. Glycomics involves study of functions and structures of glycans in biological systems. Thus, it can be used in personalized medicines for early detection of diseases to select suitable line of treatment. Combining glycomics and genomics helps in diagnosis of congenital disorders of glycosylation including CCDC115-CDG, ATP6AP1-CDG, PGM1-CDG, TMEM199-CDG, and MAN1B1-CDG.

Regional Insights

North America accounted for the largest market share in 2018 due to the presence of key pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies including Merck KGaA, Agilent Technologies, Danaher, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure and accessibility to advanced products have driven the regional market. Moreover, government funding for R&D activities is another key factor boosting the glycobiology market growth in this region.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the second fastest-growing regional market during the forecast period owing to untapped market opportunities. Evolving pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries have resulted in immense growth of glycomics in the region. In addition, investments by Contract Research Organizations (CROs) for the development and production of drugs and biologics are expected to fuel growth of the Asia Pacific glycomics market.

Glycoscience with its significance in modern biotechnology and also its ability to access new and innovative technologies is anticipated to offer bio-based industries in Europe with competitive advantage at a global level.
