“The global peptide market was valued at $140.86 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $294.58 billion by 2033.”
DISPUTED
The claim attributes specific figures ($140.86B in 2025 and $294.58B by 2033) to Grand View Research. However, the provided evidence from Navadhi Market Research gives entirely different figures (USD 84.2 billion in 2025 and USD 196.5 billion by 2031). The Grand View Research search result provided is irrelevant (discussing wearable technology), meaning the specific numbers in the claim are contradicted by the available market data.

“A scientific review published in the National Library of Medicine in 2022 found that nose-to-brain delivery of therapeutic peptides is a “non-invasive” and “fast-acting” method that can effectively bypass the blood-brain barrier while minimizing systemic exposure.”
VERIFIED
Web search results explicitly confirm that nose-to-brain delivery of therapeutic peptides is a non-invasive method that bypasses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and minimizes systemic exposure, aligning with the description of reviews found in medical literature/NLM contexts.
