The substances utilized for what is commonly referred to as 'protein therapeutics' have one thing in common --- they are all composed primarily of á-amino acids; and these á-amino acids are linked together by a distinct chemical bond known as a “peptide” bond. Used in a variety of areas of medicine, they are among the most interesting pharmaceutical markets.

Above-Average Growth Rates

What makes protein therapeutics interesting? The market for protein-based therapeutics is one that is significant in its size and growing at a rate that is well above what one would call “average” for the therapeutics/pharmaceuticals industry. This makes them a continual topic of interest for researchers examining the pharmaceutical markets. Protein Therapeutics: (Monoclonal Antibodies, Plasma Proteins, Vaccines and Other Treatments) takes a detailed look at this market

The substances detailed in this report include:

• Monoclonal Antibodies
• Antithrombins
• Cytokines
• Growth Hormones
• Hematopoietics
• Insulin
• Plasma Proteins
• Vaccines
• Miscellaneous

For each of these categories, market forecasts to 2012 are provided.

A Thriving Field with Abundant Competition

At the present time, there are at least 213 companies active in various aspects of protein-based therapeutics development. This is at, or greater than, the saturation level for the industry at this time. Presently, the industry is at equilibrium --- companies at the lower end leaving and entering at about the same rate and a small number of protein-based therapeutics companies being acquired by the more-established participants.
