DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/922ws9/global_peptide) has announced the addition of the "Global Peptide Therapeutics Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The Global Peptide Therapeutics market to grow at a CAGR of 9.25% over the period 2013-2018
Peptides are amino acids sequences and among the most potent biologically active substances found in nature. Peptides are used to control, trigger, and maintain physiological processes in living beings. However, the use of peptides as therapeutic agents has always been difficult because of their inherent instability and incapability to cross cellular membranes.
Peptides also entail the requirement of specific technology to tackle the extensive and challenging steps in their synthesis. Currently, there are more than 80 peptides marketed by various companies. These companies explore the probability of designing and engineering peptides that overcome their natural confines and allow these potent chemical entities to be used as therapeutic agents.
One key trend upcoming in the market is the growing popularity of peptide therapeutics in the market, which results in increased consumption of peptide drugs, thereby affecting market growth.
According to the report, the major driving factor of this market is the increase in patient populations suffering from various diseases in many countries. This causes an increase in the consumption of peptide medicines, thereby boosting market growth.
Further, the report states that the high cost of therapy is a major challenge to the growth of the market. It results in a decrease in the rate of patients seeking treatment in the market, which restrains the growth.
