Europe Aptamers Market

Europe Aptamers Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the aptamers market in Europe is expected to reach USD 155.8 million by 2028 from USD 62.65 million in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 20% from 2023 to 2028.

The low cost and high efficiency of aptamers in binding to large molecules compared to antibodies, coupled with an increased focus to improve the technology primarily drive the aptamers market growth in Europe. In addition, introducing a chemical modification approach to increase aptamer nuclease resistance and, as a result, therapeutic characteristics opens up a slew of opportunities for aptamer market players. Continuous growth in demand for aptamers and associated products from research institutes has resulted from this. In addition, aptamers have been used as medicines and drug carriers due to ongoing research and development, and their use as diagnostic instruments provides new growth opportunities for producers.

Additionally, the various advantages that these small molecules offer over traditional antibodies have led to the growing demand for these compounds in various therapeutic applications. For example, aptamers will be used as biosensors in the food and beverage industry in the future years, with a projected scope in the food and beverage sector. Moreover, the numerous benefits that these small molecules provide over conventional antibodies have resulted in increased demand for these compounds in various medicinal applications.

In addition, the Continuous advances in selection strategies will continue to drive the aptamer market forward. For example, long repetitive stages were used in the traditional Systemic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) approach, delaying probe selection and slowing the selection process further. Furthermore, because time efficiency is so important in the healthcare sector, many research institutions invest in developing cost- and time-effective selection techniques.

On the other hand, manufacturers have avoided using these molecules due to a lack of understanding about aptamers and technical expertise. Furthermore, aptamers have a limited half-life (minutes to hours), making them difficult to create therapies.
