ANTIBODY DISCOVERY MARKET: KEY SEGMENTS
Lead Selection Segment is the Fastest Growing Segment in the Antibody Discovery Services Market
Based on the type of service offered, the market is segmented into antigen designing, hit generation, lead selection, lead optimization, and lead characterization. It is worth highlighting that the majority of the current antibody discovery services market is captured by hit generation segment. This can be attributed to the fact that hit generation is a critical step that involves rigorous screening of a diverse pool of antibodies to extract leads with the highest affinity and specificity for a target. Therefore, the major proportion of the R&D expenditure for antibody discovery projects is spent on the hit generation step of antibody discovery.
Hybridoma Method is Likely to Dominate the Antibody Discovery Services Market During the Forecast Period
Based on the antibody discovery method, the market is segmented into hybridoma based method, library based method, single cell based method and transgenic animal based method. It is worth highlighting that the antibody discovery services market for single cell-based methods is likely to grow at a relatively higher CAGR, during the forecast period.
By Type of Antibody Generated, the Antibody Discovery Services Market is Currently Dominated by Monoclonal Antibodies
Based on the type of antibody generated, the market is segmented into monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies and others. It is worth highlighting that bispecific antibody is likely to grow at a relatively higher CAGR as compared to monoclonal antibodies, during the forecast period.
Human Antibodies Segment is Likely to Dominate the Antibody Discovery Services Market During the Forecast Period
Based on the nature of the antibody generated, the market is segmented into chimeric antibodies, human antibodies, humanized antibodies and murine antibodies. It is worth highlighting that the human antibodies segment is likely to grow at a relatively higher CAGR, during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the several benefits of human antibodies, which include reduced immunogenicity and the increased serum half-life of the monoclonal antibodies in humans.
Oncological Disorders Segment Accounts for the Largest Share for the Antibody Discovery Services Market
Based on therapeutic area, the market is segmented into cardiovascular disorders, immunological disorders, infectious disorders, neurological disorders, oncological disorders and others. While oncological disorders account for a relatively higher market share, it is worth highlighting that the cardiovascular disorders segment is expected to witness substantial market growth in the coming years.
