Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Protein Degeneration Therapy Market size was valued at USD 141 billion in 2024 and is likely to cross USD 674.9 billion by 2037, expanding at more than 12.8% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of protein degeneration therapy is estimated at USD 156.34 billion.
The reason behind the growth is due to the growing burden of cancer across the globe which is one of the leading causes of death driven by smoking, and other significant factors. For instance, in 2040, there will be more than 29 million cases of cancer worldwide owing to population growth and aging. Moreover, targeted protein degradation has increased the number of druggable proteins available for use in cancer treatments and is a strategy to destroy cancer-causing proteins.
The growing advancements in protein degeneration therapy are believed to fuel protein degeneration therapy market growth. For instance, the successful endogenous protein degradation tool known as proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) technology was created in recent years which has demonstrated promising outcomes in clinical trials for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer.
Protein Degeneration Therapy Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
Growing Geriatric Population - The molecular etiology of several age-related disorders has been closely linked to degenerative protein changes or DPMs such as in age-related macular degeneration, or AMD which is one of the main causes of blindness in the globe. According to estimates, the proportion of the population aged 60 and up rose over 1 billion, and this figure is expected to increase by more than 2 billion by 2050.
-
Increasing Availability of Protein Degraders- Many degraders based on the PROTAC principle have already progressed to clinical testing which is being used in pharmaceuticals to selectively downregulate a target protein.
-
Protein Degeneration in Drug Delivery Systems- In the drug development process, the use of tiny compounds to cause targeted protein breakdown is rising, and the research on targeted protein degradation is also creating new avenues for the quickly expanding field of medication. Moreover, targeted protein degradation is gaining popularity because it is a relatively new method of drug development backed by growing clinical validation. For instance, the overall value of venture financing deals involving targeted protein degrader medicines (TPDs) increased by more than 1500% between 2017 and 2022.
Challenges
-
Lack of Stability- Only a small range of concentration, temperature, ionic strength, and acidity conditions are stable for proteins and peptides therefore it is difficult to ensure the stability of protein formulations which is crucial as any alterations in protein integrity might lead to a reduction in therapeutic efficacy and can trigger immunogenic reactions in patients. Moreover, in the pharmaceutical industry, protein stability is especially important during the process of expression and purification.
-
Exorbitant Development Cost of Protein Degeneration Therapy Owing to the Complexity and Requirement of advanced technologies
-
Stringent rules and regulations can increase the overall time and cost which is expected to limit the introduction of new treatments

Protein Degeneration Therapy Segmentation
Route of Administration (Oral, Intravenous)
The oral segment in the protein degeneration therapy market is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 60% in the coming years. Owing to its ease of use, non-invasive drug delivery methods have drawn a lot of attention in the field of biomedicine. Oral protein degeneration therapies are developed so that patients can take them conveniently and easily.
Oral administration improves convenience and patient compliance and offers a simple, non-invasive method that lessens patient discomfort. Oral administration makes it possible for medications to be released more gradually since for many protein degeneration treatments, careful dosage is necessary. Moreover, this route of administration also encourages scalability and cost-effectiveness, may be easily scaled up for mass production, and may become more widely accepted by providing them to a broader range of patients.
Application (Inflammatory, Neurology, Oncological, Respiratory)
The neurology segment in the protein degeneration therapy market is set to garner a notable share shortly. The number of neurological disorders-related deaths and disabilities is becoming more widely acknowledged as a global public health concern since more than 6 million people worldwide lose their lives to neurological illnesses each year. The need for efficient therapies is growing as neurological disorders are becoming more common. Moreover, recognized genetic pathways or substantial protein deposits that cause cell death are used to describe neurodegenerative diseases. The goal of protein degeneration therapy is to remove the aberrant protein deposits while also slowing down the disease and trying to specifically remove these harmful proteins.
