Merck KGAA

Merck held the second position in the peptide synthesis market in 2017. The company offers a broad product portfolio of peptide synthesis reagents and custom peptide synthesis services in the market. To leverage growth opportunities in the peptide synthesis market, Merck focuses on adopting organic as well as inorganic growth strategies. For instance, in 2017, the company opened a new Life Science Center in Burlington, Massachusetts (US). The new center serves as a regional hub for scientific advancement and customer collaboration. Also in 2017, the company acquired Grzybowski Scientific Inventions (GSI). This acquisition helped the company to expand its chemical synthesis offering.

Bachem holdings

Bachem is an important player in the peptide synthesis market in 2017. The company offers catalog products that include amino acids, resins, linkers, & reagents. It also offers custom synthesis services in the market. The company aims on broadening its geographic reach by investing in strategic acquisitions, agreements, and collaborations. For instance in 2017, the company has renewed its supply agreement with AstraZeneca for the peptide active substance Goserelin. Also, in 2017 the Bachem Group entered into the collaboration with DOTTIKON ES to bring innovative, new amino acid derivatives for peptide synthesis in the market.

Increasing use of peptides in pharmaceutical drugs drives the global peptide synthesis market

Peptides are highly active and highly specific drug substances. Due to the diversity of their biological functions, they are used in an extensive range of therapeutic areas. Also, they are increasingly entering drug development pathways as potential active pharmaceutical ingredients due to their large chemical space, high biological activity, high specificity, relative ease of synthesis, ready availability, and low toxicity.

Oncology, diabetes, and obesity are three prominent therapeutic areas in which peptides generate billions of dollars in revenues. As a drug modality, peptides and peptidomimetics occupy the interface between small molecules and larger biological drugs with the potential to have the specificity of antibodies and the bioavailability of small molecules. Moreover, peptides provide researchers with viable options for discovery, optimization, and manufacture, as they can be synthesized chemically or expressed by recombinant systems. As a result of these advantages, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly focusing on the development of peptide-based drugs.

Pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies are expected to dominate the peptide synthesis market in 2017

Based on end users, the peptide synthesis market is segmented into pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies, contract development and manufacturing organizations, and academic and research institutes. In 2017, pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies accounted for the largest market share due to increasing number of research projects in genomics, molecular biology, and related areas; growing application areas of peptides in drug discovery, therapeutics, and research; and substantial R&D investments.
