Protein assay is one of the commonly used fundamental technique of protein quantification used for life science research. There are various assay available in the market differing according to its sensitivity, principle and methodology depending upon the factors such as sample size, amount, interfering agents and reproducibility. Protein assay, unlike nucleic acid, rely mostly on color change i.e. colorimetric assay and use of standard protein such as immunoglobulin G (IgG) or bovine serum albumin (BSA). Protein assay are widely used in diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, HIV. Use of assay make early diagnosis possible, which significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality of the disease. Diagnostic and prognostic assays help in early diagnosis, are cost effective, uncomplicated and reproducible. Thus assay usage in disease diagnosis, drug discovery and development encourages the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industry to invest in research and development, which fuels the demand of protein assays market.

Based on the type of product, the global protein assays market is segmented as follows:

• Reagent
• Kits
• Instruments and Accessories

Among the type of product, reagent dominates the global protein assay market and it is also the fast growing market. Reagent occupies maximum share due to large scale consumption of reagent during assay, in protein quantification. These days protein assay kit are available in market that are easy to use and handle, showing high precision result. Protein assay kit are more time saving and enhance assay consistency, as it does not require filtration or dilution of the assay reagent. Due to advances in technologies novel instrument are available that are used in protein analysis and quantification, but though instrument considered as just one time investment.

Based on the type of assays, the global protein assays market is segmented as follows:

• Dye-Binding Assays
• Copper-Ion-Based Assays
• Test Strips-Based Assays
• Other Protein Assays

Now-days, researchers face problem while selecting protein assay from vast variety available in the market, that is the most compatible with the protein sample. It is important to select appropriate assay to determine the protein yield. The suitable assay is selected on the basis of factors such as sensitivity of the assay, sample size, protein- protein variations, speed and convenience, presence of non-protein agent. Usually two main types of assay i.e. copper chelation assay and dye binding assay that are commonly used in the laboratories. Among all types of assay, dye-binding assay dominates the global protein assays market. Dye binding Bradford assay is calorimetric assay used that is commonly used, which is compatible with most of the reagent, buffer and preparation. Additionally it is easy to use and proven to give speedy and more precise result.

Based on the type of application, the global protein assays market is segmented as follows:

• Drug Discovery
• Disease Diagnosis
• Other

Disease diagnose dominates the global protein assay application segment market followed by drug discovery. Disease diagnoses is also the fastest growing market with high adoption rate of protein assay in identifying and diagnosis at early stage due to novel diagnostic techniques penetrating the market. Rising prevalence of HIV, cancer, immunology related disease is one of the factor propelling the demand of assay market. Protein assay play an important role in development of biotechnology in protein analysis and quantification, that further aid in drug development, clinical studies, research and development, process development and quality control.

Based on the type of technology, the global protein assays market is segmented as follows:

• Absorbance-Based Protein Assays
• Colorimetric Protein Assays
• Fluorescence-Based Protein Assays

Absorbance-Based Protein Assays and Fluorescence-Based Protein Assays are the commonly used protein quantification method. Absorbance-based method is commonly used in laboratories due to availability of spectrophotometer, as it provides efficient analytical performance, accurate result, enhanced sensitivity and easy to use. Thus absorbance-based protein assays occupies maximum share of the absorbance-based protein assays technology market segment. It can be performed in microplates for high number of sample numbers and having low volume of reagent. Fluorescence-Based Protein Assays is preferred when the protein sample is dilute.

For the purpose of this study, the global protein assays market is geographically categorized into:

• North America (U.S., Canada)
• Europe (UK, Germany and Rest of Europe)
• Asia Pacific (China, Japan and Rest of Asia)
• Latin America (LATAM)
• Middle East and Africa (MEA)

At present, North America occupies the largest share of global protein assays market. Well established research and development infrastructure of biotechnology and pharmaceutical, vigorous studies and technology improvement in proteomics are key factor driving the growth of protein assay market. The key market players of the protein assay market are based in this region, thus giving additional advantage to growth of protein assay market. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market in the forecast period, this due to improvement in R&D infrastructure, rising investment by the government in academic and institutional research in proteomics especially in emerging countries such as China, India.
