The antibody discovery market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the antibody discovery market has expanded swiftly in the recent past. It is projected to increase from $8.96 billion in 2024 to $9.87 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%.
The historical growth is related to the upsurge in funding for drug discovery, escalating investments in research and development activities, and the existence of numerous healthcare research centers and academic institutions.
The antibody discovery market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for antibody discovery is anticipated to swiftly expand in the coming years, reaching a value of $14.6 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%.
This expected growth during the projected period is primarily due to an escalating need for antibody drug discovery services and platforms, an increase in funds allocated for the creation of innovative technologies, a rising demand for precision therapeutics, and an expansion in the applications of antibodies beyond traditional therapeutic roles. Key trends to watch out for during this forecast period include heightened research and development efforts, a growing demand for monoclonal antibodies, a boost in the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, growing need for targeted therapeutics, and the creation of new antibody formats.
The antibody discovery market's expansion is predicted to be driven by an increasing demand for precision therapeutics. Also known as personalized therapeutics, precision therapeutics entails tailor-making medical treatments and interventions based on the specific characteristics of each patient. Antibody discovery plays a crucial role in this process, facilitating the creation of targeted therapies like monoclonal antibodies. These are engineered to interact specifically and accurately with molecules or cells associated with disease, leading to more personalized and effective treatment. To illustrate, the US-based Personalized Medicine Coalition disclosed that the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research approved 37 new molecular entities in 2022. Of these, about 34%, or 12, are recognized as personalized medicines by the Personalized Medicine Coalition. Hence, the burgeoning demand for precision therapeutics is expected to bolster the antibody discovery market's growth.
