The clinical and pharmaceutical was the largest and was valued at USD 46.85 million in 2018. The significant growth in drug R&D and the rising number of clinical trials are propelling the demand for amino acid analyzers from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Furthermore, medical professionals use amino acids present in patients as a diagnostic measure to identify several diseases. For instance, phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare inherited disorder, is caused by the deficiency of phenylalanine amino acids. Analyzing the presence of phenylalanine amino acid to diagnose whether a patient has PKU requires the use of an amino acid analyzer. Thus, the use and importance of amino acid analyzers in clinical, pre-clinical, diagnostic, and pharmaceutical research is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Type Analysis

Automatic

Automation is an important feature in amino acid analyzer equipment. Automated solutions can interpret structured and unstructured data and rely on machine learning techniques to identify specific patterns and make predictions based on that data. Moreover, automatic amino acid analyzers that use artificial intelligence (AI) technology can eliminate errors that are common in manually operated equipment. Automatic amino acid analyzers can refine their findings through the programs installed. Moreover, automatic amino acid analyzers must be operated by skilled professionals who have expertise in performing the process correctly. However, the high accuracy and time-saving advantages are the key attributes that encourage users to utilize automatic amino acid analyzers, which will boost market growth during the forecast period.

Manual 

The manual amino acid analyzer also uses the ion exchange method in combination with HPLC, using a manual injection valve. These systems do not have an autosampler. A manual analyzer has several separate test columns that are combined with a ready-to-use buffer and chemical solutions to perform the analysis. The advantages of a manual automatic amino acid analyzer are its high precision and reproducibility.  Additionally, these systems prove to be cost-effective for laboratories that work with small quantities of samples. However, compared with an automatic amino acid analyzer, the manual amino acid analyzer is less effective as there are high chances of obvious human errors, which can lead to inaccurate analysis of the amino acid-sequencing samples. Thus, the increased demand for manual amino acid analyzers will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, market growth and trends, and challenges. 

Key Drivers

Increased application in drug discovery research is notably driving market growth. Amino acid analysis techniques, particularly ion-exchange liquid chromatography, have become crucial in pharmaceutical research and development (R&D), aiding the separation of biomolecules based on function and structure. The pharmaceutical industry's shift toward proteomics applications in clinical research has transformed drug discovery processes, employing purified protein libraries for efficient screening of small molecule drug precursors. The rising emphasis on novel drug research by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies has increased the utilization of amino acid analyzers for drug analysis and protein-based studies. This facilitates the isolation and identification of target amino acids in bioactive compounds, contributing to the discovery of new drugs.

Moreover, with global pharmaceutical R&D spending reaching nearly USD 140 - USD 150 billion annually, the surge in drug research activities, new drug approvals, and advancements in peptide screening technology, exemplified by Hitachi Ltd.'s high-speed amino acid analyzer, propel the adoption of amino acid analyzers in drug discovery research. Thus, the increasing investments in R&D, as well as drug approvals, contribute to the higher adoption of amino acid analyzers for drug discovery research during the forecast period

Significant  Trends

 Increasing demand for protein supplements is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Proteins are made of amino acids and are the main component of the muscles in the body. Proteins form an important part of the dietary supplements taken by athletes. The most important three proteins needed by athletes are leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are together known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). These amino acids cannot be injected into the body and must be obtained through the diet. BCAAs need to be taken 30 minutes before exercise so that they can be absorbed by the body.

Furthermore, amino acids are also widely used in animal feed. Lysine and methionine are the key amino acids used in poultry feed. Lysine is a very cost-effective animal nutrition supplement, which can be used in feed for aquaculture, dairy cattle, and pet food. Therefore, the increasing demand for amino acid supplements is contributing to the use of amino acid analyzers to test the presence of the required amino acids in the prescribed concentration, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major  Challenges

A shortage of skilled professionals in using amino acid analyzers is a significant challenge hindering market growth. Electronic equipment and instruments such as analyzers and HPLCs should be used by people who have expertise in chemical and instrumentation engineering. Such equipment is used in the analysis, manufacturing, or production process of pharmaceutical drugs, food, and beverages. A person who uses sophisticated equipment, such as an amino acid analyzer, needs to have an overall understanding of the testing and analysis processes for protein samples to operate the equipment efficiently. Additionally, advanced automatic amino acid analyzers are extremely sensitive and must be operated by skilled workers to obtain an accurate evaluation of the amino acid content in the samples with a minimal margin for error.

Moreover, the shortage of skilled professionals also affects R&D activities in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, while the lack of practical knowledge to work on automated amino acid analyzers hinders the drug development process. Thus, all these factors have the potential to impede the market growth and forecasting during the market forecast period.
