Market Restraining Factors

High Costs of Advanced Technologies

Advanced technologies for the purification of proteins include, for example, affinity chromatography and automated systems. Although highly complex, often these methods do not come cheap; thus, most small firms and research organizations cannot afford to have it in their facilities. Really, the capital cost to purchase, set up, and maintains such complex equipment becomes prohibitive for organizations that do not have budgetary flexibility.

This may mean that the purification technologies are used with traditional approaches, which are often less efficient but still cost-effective, for small biotech firms and academic laboratories, affecting their ability to provide high-quality proteins that are essential for basic and drug discovery research. This is a constraint that limits their competitiveness in an increasingly demanding market that recognizes efficiency and purity as paramount.

Another thing, more advanced purification solutions could be out of reach. This would also limit innovation during the production of novel therapies and biopharmaceuticals. Thus, this cost barrier needs to be overcome so that access to advanced purification technologies is increased, and the boom in the protein purification market could also be seen in the future.
