The global protein crystallization and crystallography market size was USD 1639.4 million in 2022. As per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 2474.2 million in 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.

Protein crystallization and crystallography are crucial techniques used in structural biology to determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins. The process involves obtaining highly ordered protein crystals and then subjecting them to X-ray diffraction analysis to determine the arrangement of atoms within the crystal lattice.

The first step is to produce and isolate the protein of interest in large quantities. This typically involves recombinant DNA technology and protein purification techniques to obtain pure protein samples. The purified protein is concentrated and mixed with various chemical reagents, known as crystallization agents or precipitants, under different conditions (pH, temperature, ionic strength, etc.). The goal is to promote the formation of protein crystals with high quality and well-defined faces. Crystallization methods include vapor diffusion, batch, and microbatch techniques. After obtaining initial protein crystals, optimization steps are performed to improve crystal quality, size, and uniformity. Factors like pH, temperature, and concentration of precipitants are adjusted to achieve better crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Hampered the Demand for Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various sectors, including the protein crystallization and crystallography market. The pandemic has led to the disruption of scientific research activities, including crystallization and crystallography experiments. Laboratories and research facilities have faced closures, restrictions, and reduced access, leading to delays in ongoing projects and the initiation of new research. The global supply chain for laboratory equipment and consumables has been significantly impacted by the pandemic. The production, distribution, and availability of critical reagents, chemicals, and instrumentation required for crystallization and crystallography may have been disrupted, causing delays and shortages. Many research institutions and funding agencies have redirected their resources and priorities toward COVID-19-related research and public health initiatives. As a result, funding for other scientific discipline may have been affected, leading to limited financial support for related projects.
