Abstract

The interest in the development of technologies involving spidroin, the main component of spider silk, has grown exponentially since the 2000s. This growth is based on the exceptional properties of this biomaterial, such as extreme resistance, malleability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The present work aimed to investigate the technological development of the spider silk market. For this, we performed searches of patents and scientific articles related to spidroin. The temporal evolution, the main players in this sector and the main applications of spidroin-based products are discussed. The results suggest a significant growth in the use of biosynthetic spidroin in recent decades, especially in the textile and biomedical markets, driven by technological advances that allowed its large-scale production. Japan and China are the main holders of this knowledge. These countries emerged with great predominance on the world stage since 2015 and are currently at the forefront of this technological race.
