Report Code : CVMI24072928 | Published Date : July 16, 2024
1 | Market Overview
The European peptide synthesis market includes the production, modification, and commercialization of peptides for pharmaceutical, research, diagnostic, and cosmetic applications. Peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, have gained significant traction in therapeutics due to their high specificity, low toxicity, and ability to target previously undruggable protein interactions.
The region has emerged as a key hub for peptide therapeutics and custom synthesis, supported by robust R&D, a strong CDMO presence, and rising investments in oncology, metabolic, and infectious disease research. Demand is also increasing from the cosmetic and nutritional supplement sectors, where bioactive peptides are used for anti-aging and muscle recovery.
