Key Factors Shaping the Silk Protein Market
Increasing Health Complications and Demand for Natural Products
Silk protein beholds various biological functionalities such as antimicrobial, antibacterial, anticoagulants, and anticancer. Owing to these properties, silk proteins are included as major ingredients in pharma and nutraceuticals. They also provide property of wound healing by promoting cell growth. Oxidization resistance property of silk proteins help increase the shelf life of the drug produced. In addition, they help the skin protect from harmful U.V. rays. Hence, a single natural product with such immense bioactive properties is obvious to rule the pharma & nutraceutical world during the forecasted period. These properties are still not known by many consumers due to the nascent phase of the product.
Manufacturers Supporting the Use of Silk Proteins to Replace Chemicals
The usage of silk protein in products for eye makeup or eye drops makes these products free from harmful chemicals causing eye irritation and falling of eyelashes and eyebrow hair. The usage of silk protein in mascara, eyebrow makeups and eye drops is a possible solution to these problems. As it promotes hair growth, these products will help consumers maintain a proper volume of hair and will add to their beauty. The same way these are used to make moisturizers, facial toner, face masks, soap, body wash, and many more products that will fight early aging of the skin and hydrate the skin to make it look shinier, younger and more beautiful.

Supporting Bone Tissue Engineering and Target-Specific Drug Delivery in Pharmaceutical Sphere
Silk protein exhibits a platter of properties, including mild aqueous possessing conditions, high biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In addition, silk protein enhances the stability of the loaded APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredient), such as proteins, pDNA, and small molecule drugs. Cytocompatibility studies find that silk protein holds high compatibility with various cell lines - hepatocytes, osteoblasts, and fibroblasts. Crosslinking of silk protein with organic solvents, including methanol, and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) by inducing structural formation (? helix to ? sheet) is responsible for the inflammatory potential of SF formulations.
The presence of carboxyl and amino groups in the silk protein (fibroin) enables bio-functionalization with different biomolecules or ligands beneficial for targeted drug delivery. Silk protein - sericin - possesses relatively lower immunological responses as compared to usual degradable biological polymers in the pharmaceutical space - polylactide (PLA) and collagen which are highly suitable for biological applications. Scaffolds developed by electro-spinning silk protein is utilized in bone tissue engineering, including cartilage, and bone defects owing to the availability of ?-sheet structure, providing great mechanical stiffness sans the need for harsh crosslinking processes. Silk protein exhibits high tensile strength and resistance to compressive force – an ideal material for drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Developed and Developing Countries Offer Worthwhile Prospects
The demand for silk protein linearly associates with the booming progress in the cosmetics sphere of countries including India, Australia, and Brazil. Awakened by the potential dangers of synthetic chemicals, manufacturers of skin & hair care formulations in Australia are turning to bio-based alternatives. As per surveys, anti-aging creams and foundations remain at the top of the list of Brazilian cosmetics consumers, particularly the female cohort. Intensifying internet funneling in India is leading to an exponential rise in the number of millennial women leveraging online retail stores for purchasing beauty and cosmetics products, which will work to the advantage of the silk protein market players.
Stakeholders Hone in On Progressive Silk Protein Development
The therapeutic qualities of silk protein linearly depend on the degree of penetration. As such, market players are developing silk peptide powder or hydrolyzed silk protein following great effectiveness in penetrating several layers of skin. A majority of silk used in skincare products are highly processed, compromising the benefits. Manufacturers are producing lab-based silk protein via the fermentation process to retain the advantages of silk protein, including regenerative qualities, moisture-locking, and prolonged healthy skin. In order to tackle plastic pollution, developers are extracting silk protein present in spider web threads. The silk protein, amalgamated with cellulose fibers, deliver firm and resilient properties akin to plastic. Furthermore, the bottleneck of water shortage is motivating players to design methods for recycling water affluent in sericin – a paramount ingredient in skincare products.
Surging demand for powder
Oil to pick pace
High demand for fibroin
Sericin garnering huge traction
High adoption in skincare
Increasing applicability in pharma & nutraceutical
How Growth will Unfold
Although silk has been under the impression as a crucial natural material for the fabric industry for centuries, clinical studies suggest that the material is emerging as an essential biopolymer for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Reimagining silk protein for healthcare purposes is disrupting the medical scenario, particularly in eye-related dosages via electronically-enhanced ocular drug delivery systems.
While majority of female consumers heavily relies on anti-aging cosmetic products for enhanced beauty, their male counterparts are significantly embracing silk protein-based cosmetics for grooming purposes. The textile industry releases tons of wastewater – active water – containing sericin in an ample amount. Manufacturers are developing recycling techniques to recover sericin in a bid to serve the cosmetic space following anti-pollution, and moisturizing properties.
