Straits Research released its highly anticipated report, “Protein Therapeutics Market Size & Outlook, 2026-2034.” According to the study, the global market size is valued at USD 399.76 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 736.06 billion by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.06%.
The market growth is primarily attributed to the expansion of monoclonal antibody and recombinant protein applications, and increased investment in biopharmaceutical R&D. In addition, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer worldwide, is driving the demand for innovative protein-based therapies, including monoclonal antibodies and targeted treatments. For example, in February 2024, as per the WHO, global cancer cases are projected to exceed 35 million annually by 2050, emphasizing the urgent need for effective therapies. This rising incidence of cancer fuels the demand for protein therapeutics, supporting the growth of the global protein therapeutics market. Moreover, technological advancements in protein therapeutics present significant opportunities for developing targeted and effective treatments for various cancers and chronic diseases. For example, in April 2025, Amgen’s UPLIZNA (inebilizumab-cdon) received FDA approval for Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD), expanding its therapeutic applications beyond NMOSD and demonstrating the potential of next-generation antibody therapies. These advancements offer companies the opportunity to innovate and expand their protein therapeutics portfolio, addressing unmet medical needs and capturing new market segments.
