Market Overview:
The global oral proteins and peptides market size reached US$ 1.57 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.67 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.60% during 2023-2028. The expanding prevalence of chronic diseases, the rising geriatric population, and the increasing preference for oral drugs among consumers represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Proteins and peptides are natural components of the human body and play essential roles in many biological processes. Due to their complex structure and susceptibility to digestion in the stomach and small intestine, they are usually administered through injections. However, oral proteins and peptides can be taken via the oral path to treat hormonal, gastric, and metabolic disorders. They are designed to overcome these challenges by using specialized formulations that protect the molecules from digestion and allow them to be absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. These formulations include enteric coatings, nanoparticles, and other delivery technologies. Oral proteins and peptides are extensively utilized to treat numerous chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.

Oral Proteins and Peptides Market Trends:
The increasing volume of patients suffering from chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders (CVDs), and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDs), and the expanding geriatric population represent the key factors driving the oral proteins and peptides market growth. Besides this, shifting preferences and the rising demand for effective oral drugs and technology among the masses are contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the escalating consumer health consciousness and the growing awareness of the numerous benefits associated with the consumption of oral protein and peptide supplements are creating a positive outlook for the market. In addition to this, innovative technological advancements, such as three-dimensional (3D) printing, nanotechnology, and genetic engineering, have enabled manufacturers to produce more advanced and cost-effective product variants, which is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Concurrent with this, the extensive collaborative efforts between pharmaceutical companies, significant advancements in the healthcare infrastructure, and rising research and development (R&D) activities are presenting remunerative growth opportunities for the market. Furthermore, the inflating disposable income of consumers, the widespread adoption of protein-rich diets, the surging demand for protein powder, bars, and shakes, and the increasing proliferation of online platforms providing easy product access are aiding in market expansion.
