Global Antibody Drug Conjugates Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global antibody-drug conjugates market size is forecasted to grow to USD 55.45 Billion by 2028 from USD 18.36 Billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 24.74% from 2023 to 2028.  

MARKET DRIVERS:

The rising prevalence of cancer and the growing geriatric population across the globe primarily drive the growth of the antibody-drug conjugates market. The number of people suffering from cancer is growing rapidly worldwide and causing a significant number of mortalities worldwide every year. As per the statistics published by WHO, an estimated 19.3 new million cancer cases were found in 2020. By 2040, an estimated 28.4 million new cases per year are expected to register. Factors such as changing lifestyles, environmental pollution, and an aging population are majorly resulting in the incidence of cancer among people. With the growing cancer patient population, the demand for more effective and targeted cancer treatments such as ADCs is anticipated to grow. On the other hand, the growing aging population worldwide is also contributing to the increasing demand for antibody-drug conjugates. With growing age, people are more likely to diagnose with various age-related diseases including cancer. Likewise, the growing aging population is expected to fuel the need for effective cancer therapies. As per the data published by the United Nations, the population aged 65 years is expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050 from USD 703 million in 2019. Antibody-drug conjugates are a more effective and safer option for cancer treatment, especially among patients who are aged and may be more sensitive to the side effects of traditional chemotherapy.

The development of advanced technologies in the field of ADCs such as site-specific conjugation, linker technology and improved antibody engineering and the strong pipeline of ADCs in various stages of development contribute to the market growth. Several pharmaceutical companies have been investing significant resources in R&D to develop new and advanced antibody-drug conjugates to address unmet medical needs. In addition, the growing number of regulatory approvals of new ADCs by government agencies such as the FDA, EMA, and PMDA, the rising trend towards personalized medicine, the increasing number of collaborations and partnerships between pharmaceutical companies and research organizations and increasing healthcare expenditure in developed and developing countries boost the growth rate of the antibody-drug conjugates market.

Furthermore, rapid advancements in biotechnology, such as gene editing and synthetic biology, increasing investments by pharmaceutical companies in the development of ADCs, rising adoption of targeted therapies, including ADCs, growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory disorders and increasing use of combination therapies, which involve the use of multiple drugs to treat a single disease fuel the growth of the antibody-drug conjugates market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

High costs associated with the development of ADCs, complex manufacturing process of ADCs that requires specialized expertise and equipment and limited number of targets primarily hamper the market growth. In addition, rigorous regulatory requirements, competition from other therapies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy and side effects of ADCs such as liver toxicity hinder the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global antibody drug conjugates market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown a mixed impact on the global antibody-drug conjugates market. At one end, the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the drug development activities across the healthcare industry including antibody drug conjugates impacted the market growth negatively. In addition, the healthcare priorities have been shifted during the COVID-19 pandemic and accordingly several pharmaceutical companies have shifted their resources and investments towards the development of COVID-19 vaccines and this has resulted in a decreased focus on the other areas of medicine including cancer treatment. Furthermore, the disruptions in the global supply chains and financial impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed an unfavourable impact on the antibody drug conjugates market. On the other hand, the demand for effective cancer treatments has increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic and this particular factor has contributed to increased demand for cancer drugs including antibody-drug conjugates and favored the market growth.
