Over time, advancements in understanding cellular mechanisms and proteomics have spurred researchers to adopt an innovative approach known as targeted protein degradation. This approach aims to selectively break down specific proteins associated with diseases by harnessing cellular machinery utilizing small molecules.

Targeted protein degradation employs modalities responsible for protein destruction, offering advantages such as specificity, stability, and minimal off-target effects. Bolstered by these advantages and ongoing technological advancements, the targeted protein degradation market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Market Segments

Based on the type of degrader, the market is segmented into SERDs, PROTACs and Molecular Glues

SERDs are likely to lead the market for targeted protein degradation, capturing the largest revenue share in 2024.

PROTACs are anticipated to show the highest growth rate during the forecast period of around 28% annually.

Based on the target indication, the market is segmented into Breast Cancer and Multiple Myeloma

Targeted protein degradation therapies intended for breast cancer led the market for targeted protein degradation, capturing the largest revenue share in 2024.

Targeted protein degradation therapies intended for breast cancer are anticipated to show the highest growth rate during the forecast period of around 30% annually.

Targeted Protein Degradation Market Regional Outlook

Based on the key geographical regions, the market can be segmented into four major regions, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and rest of the world. North America is anticipated to capture the majority share of the targeted protein degradation market in 2024 and this trend is likely to remain unchanged during the forecast period. Further, the targeted protein degradation industry in Asia-Pacific is accounted to be the fastest-growing segment of the market. This is primarily due to the increasing number of biopharmaceutical startups and likely drug approvals in the region for treatment of various oncological indications.?
