The report is published once its dataset is frozen and an editor has reviewed every figure. Until then nothing here is estimated or filled in. A full-year edition follows in January 2027.

What it will cover

  1. How much peptide research is published
  2. How fast it is growing, compared like for like
  3. The most researched peptides
  4. The fastest growing peptides and research areas
  5. Human clinical vs. preclinical research
  6. GLP-1 receptor agonists
  7. Cognitive and neurological peptides
  8. Longevity and mitochondrial peptides
  9. Research gaps: where human evidence is thin
  10. Methods and limitations

How every number is counted is already published in the methodology.
