Glycobiology is the study of glycans, which are another name for carbohydrates. Glycans are present in all living things. Glycobiology is a fast developing branch of biology with applications in biotechnology, healthcare, and fundamental study. Most proteins in eukaryotic cells undergo post-translational modification. The binding of glycans, or "glycosylation," is one of the most prevalent changes that is necessary for cell survival. Glycosylation can be N-linked or O-linked, with the former including an asparagine (the glycan is attached to a serine or threonine).
Glycans are varied, complicated molecules, and their specific structures dictate how they perform various biological tasks. To correctly reveal glycan structure, which may subsequently be connected to a particular function, effective enzymatic tools and analytical techniques are needed. The sticky qualities of proteins and cells are determined by glycosylation. The fact that the immune system relies heavily on interactions between glycans and proteins to operate emphasizes the significance of glycans in physiology, pathogen identification, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.
Several other processes, such as transportation, metabolic and gene regulation, protein activity, protein clearance, and tissue development are all regulated by glycan molecules. Because glycans are so important in immunological interactions, glycoproteins and carbohydrates are currently the focus of next-generation therapies, vaccines, and diagnostics.
Increasing HIV infection rates, rising government financing, and R&D activities will all help fuel growth since R&D produces newer, more advanced, or inventive products, which will boost sales. The need for technologically improved products from end users such research labs, academic institutions, and biotechnology & pharmaceuticals companies to investigate carbohydrate molecules is also anticipated to fuel growth of the worldwide glycobiology market.
The global market is likely to show high growth over the coming years at a CAGR of 15.5% and reach a global market size of US$ 6.2 Billion by 2033.
“Increasing Prevalence of Infectious Diseases”
The demand for glycobiologic enzymes is anticipated to rise as vaccinations to prevent extremely contagious viral diseases, such as avian influenza, has become more popular. Governments have stocked up on Tamiflu due to concern over the spread of such an infection. Glycobiologic proteins known as glycosidase and its glycan substrate are two of Tamiflu's primary ingredients. They effectively aid in preventing the two primary surface proteins known to cause influenza, neuraminidase and hemagglutinin.
These elements may increase demand for glycobiologic enzymes from larger drug producers and government-sponsored drug manufacturing facilities, which are crucial suppliers to numerous governments across the globe.
Glycobiology is increasingly being used to treat degenerative diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, which is a key driver of market growth.
Further, it is anticipated that developments in chemical synthesis and bioengineering would produce more conclusive documented data, which may increase demand for glycobiologic enzymes over the study period.
Companies that manufacture technologies for structural analysis of carbohydrate molecules have a wide range of products to expand their clients and give customers a variety of options based on their research frameworks.
Triple Quadrapole (TQS), Ion Trap, and Hybrid System (LS/MS/MS) mass spectrometers are made by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Companies are concentrating on ongoing technological advancement to introduce new products to fulfil end-user requirements, which is boosting the worldwide glycobiology market's revenue growth.
“Lack of Qualified Specialists”
In comparison to DNA or protein studies, which necessitate qualified professionals to carry out the protocol, glycobiology research entails a variety of complexity. Despite the fact that glycan research began in the 18th century, there aren't enough highly trained professionals to carry out the process with little to no error. Since its inception, glycobiology has seen numerous technological developments and has found extensive use in a number of industries, including drug discovery, treatments, and diagnostics.
There are not many specialists with the necessary training, nevertheless, to execute the process well. To achieve the intended results with the least amount of manual error, the protocol is detailed and calls for a skilled professional to carry out the procedure. During the projected period, a lack of skilled labor is anticipated to restrain the growth of the glycobiology market globally.
The issue impeding the growth of the global glycobiology market is the imprecision in measuring the overall structure of glycans due to variations in the responsiveness to hydrolysis of various bonds, variations in the degradation of particular saccharides, or a lack of specificity or sensitivity in the assay, such as the immunotherapy test.
Why is the U.S. Market Booming?
“Presence of Numerous Market Players”
The U.S. accounted for around 88.3% market share in the North America market in 2022. As major pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies like Danaher, Agilent Technologies, Merck KGaA and Thermo Fisher Scientific are present. The regional market has been pushed by the presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure and accessibility to cutting-edge products. Government support for R&D initiatives is yet another important element driving the development of the glycobiology market in this region.
Glycan research is becoming more and more popular as more academics show an interest in it because of the potential impact it may have on significant areas of medical research like oncology. As a result of the aforementioned factors, the market under study is anticipated to grow rapidly over the coming years.
Will the U.K. Be a Lucrative Market for Glycobiology?
“Utilization of Advanced Techniques for Research”
The U.K. market held around 15.5% market share of the Europe market in 2022. New methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are quickly replacing traditional techniques like gel electrophoresis and elemental analysis for the characterization of glycoforms in complex glycoproteins.
In order to understand the structure of a microorganism's cell surface polysaccharide, which is utilized as a probiotic in bowl disease, researchers at the University of Huddersfield in the United Kingdom are using NMR.
How is China Emerging as a Prominent Market?

China held a market share of about 4.5% of the global market in 2022. Several governments in Asia Pacific regions are taking action to solve the region's shortage of competent individuals in the field of glycoscience by funding basic research projects.
Which Product is Driving Demand within the Global Market?
“Crucial Role of Enzymes in Glycobiology”
The enzyme segment held around 55.3% share of the total market in 2022. In glycobiology, enzymes play a number of important roles. For instance, transferases contribute to the production of complex carbohydrates. Additionally, glycosidases and other enzymes, such as sulfatases, modify and metabolize carbohydrates.
These enzymes can therefore be used as helpful tools to comprehend the structure and function of carbohydrates. They could be used, for instance, to define or ascertain the structure of an interesting oligosaccharide or to alter the structure of a carbohydrate to examine how it affects biological processes.
Which Enzyme is Widely Adopted for the Production of Glycobiology?
