X-ray Crystallography Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growing investment in drug discovery is notably driving the x-ray crystallography market growth, although factors such as lack of trained laboratory professionals may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the x-ray crystallography market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key X-ray Crystallography Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global x-ray crystallography market growth is the growing investment in drug discovery. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the US alone, more than 1.7 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and this number will increase to 2 million by the end of 2022, which will boost the demand for new drugs. Key players are strengthening their product pipeline by developing advanced innovative drugs for therapeutic areas, such as immunology, cancer, and infectious diseases. They majorly spend approximately 65% of their revenue on discovery and early-stage product development. Therefore, with the growing emphasis on R&D procedures and the significant R&D investments, strong demand for X-ray crystallography has been observed, as the technique is essential for the synthesis of new drugs and medicines and aids in determining the structure of their precursors. This will drive the market growth in the forecast years.
Key X-ray Crystallography Market Trend
Outsourcing of the drug discovery process is one of the key x-ray crystallography market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Several small companies with less infrastructural costs have resorted to outsourcing their drug discovery process to CROs while restricting themselves to manufacturing and marketing activities. CROs have enabled these companies to focus more on innovation and marketing strategies. Pharmaceutical companies can outsource their drug discovery processes at a much lesser cost than their own manufacturing sites and invest the amount saved in other activities such as the market promotion of the drug. The trend has been adopted by countries such as the US, the UK, Germany, and Japan, where the process of drug discovery has been outsourced to sub-contract research organizations in emerging countries such as India and Brazil. Such factors will further support the market growth in the coming years.
Key X-ray Crystallography Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global x-ray crystallography market growth is the lack of trained laboratory professionals. The problems associated with finding and retaining skilled professionals are creating a gap in the industry, which is impacting the market growth. For instance, according to the data published by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) in 2017, 60% of jobs in the US pharmaceutical companies will be vacant by 2025 due to the lack of effective education policies and growing competition from other countries. As the need for qualified laboratory personnel increases, the annual turnover rates for certain categories of personnel in the laboratory exceed 20%. The low compensation package is another reason for the high attrition rates, as the wage rate per hour for laboratory professionals is a lowly USD 15 per hour. All of these factors affect the growth of the market.
This x-ray crystallography market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
