Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for antibody drug conjugate in 2023 is US$ 10.50 billion, and is expected to reach US$ around 35 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 19.6%.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are highly targeted biopharmaceutical medications that combine monoclonal antibodies to recognize surface antigens-specific tumor cells with highly potent anti-cancer agents linked via a chemical linker. Antibody-drug conjugates are complex molecules that require careful attention to various components. The selection of an appropriate target, a mAb, cytotoxic payload, and how the antibody is linked to the load are critical determinants of the safety and effectiveness of ADCs. These targeted agents combine antibodies' unique and very sensitive targeting capabilities, allowing acute discrimination between healthy and cancerous tissues with the cell-killing ability of cytotoxic drugs.

Antibodies are glycoproteins generated by the body in response to foreign particles. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) is made by cloning a specific WBC or unique parent cell. Monoclonal antibodies have monovalent affinity, which means they bind to a specific molecular region or part of an antigen known as an epitope or antigenic determinant. Polyclonal antibodies bind to different epitopes produced by various antibody cell lineages. There are five higher animal types of immunoglobulins: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD. IgG is the most prevalent of all. Each IgG molecule consists of four polypeptide chains, including two heavy chains of 50 kDa and two light chains of 25 kDa, held together by four disulfide bridges.

Recent developments by key players in Antibody Drug Conjugates Market:

  • In June 2022, For the creation of highly specialised ADCs for the treatment of solid tumours, Spirea Limited revealed that it has obtained GBP 2.4 million in financing from investors.
  • In December 2022, ImmunoGen Inc. and Biosion USA Inc.  collaborated to develop antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer.

In recent years, the market for antibody drug conjugates (ADC) has grown drastically, and in the years to come, it is anticipated to increase steadily. ADCs are a family of targeted cancer medicines that combine the cytotoxicity of small molecule medications with the specificity of monoclonal antibodies. By the use of this special combination, cytotoxic medications is delivered to cancer cells only, causing the least amount of harm to healthy cells and exhibiting the fewest negative side effects. The quest for more efficient and individualised therapies along with the rising prevalence of cancer globally has been a key factor driving the ADC market. Also, a number of innovative ADCs have been created as a result of the expanding emphasis on research and development in the field of cancer, and their clinical trial outcomes have been encouraging.

ADC market expansion is also being fuelled by an increase in partnerships and cooperation between pharmaceutical firms and academic institutions. These partnerships have produced new technologies and production methods that have increased the productivity and affordability of making ADCs.

ADCs are expensive, and a complex manufacturing procedure is required to produce them, which limits the market's expansion. The complicated process of bringing new items to market is further complicated by the strict regulatory criteria for ADC clearance. The substantial advantages that ADCs provide over conventional cancer therapies are projected to drive market growth even in the presence of these obstacles. The price of ADCs is anticipated to reduce, making them more affordable for patients as technology advances and the production process is standardised.
