Antibody discovery is the process of identifying and developing antibodies, which are proteins generated by the immune system to defend the body against harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses. Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, play a vital role in the immune response by recognizing and binding to specific molecules known as antigens.
The primary methods employed in antibody discovery include phage display, hybridoma, and others. Phage display is a molecular biology technique utilized for the study and selection of peptides or proteins, typically antibodies, that exhibit high affinity to a target of interest. This method is widely applied in antibody discovery to generate and select antibodies with specific binding properties. Various types of antibodies, including humanized antibodies, human antibodies, chimeric antibodies, and murine antibodies, find application among end users in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, research laboratories, and academic institutions.

This antibody discovery market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The antibody discovery market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.96 billion in 2024 to $9.87 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to surge in investment for drug discovery, growing investment in research and development activities, and presence of various healthcare research centers and academic institutions.
The antibody discovery market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.6 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for antibody drug discovery services and platforms, surge in funding for the development of novel technologies, growing demand for precision therapeutics, and broadening the utilization of antibodies beyond their conventional therapeutic roles. Major trends in the forecast period include increased research and development activities, growing demand for monoclonal antibodies, increased adoption of advanced technologies, growing demand for targeted therapeutics, and development of novel antibody formats.
The antibody discovery market is poised for significant growth due to the increasing demand for precision therapeutics, also known as personalized therapeutics. This approach tailors medical treatments to individual patient characteristics, enhancing effectiveness. Antibody discovery plays a pivotal role in precision therapeutics by facilitating the development of targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, which interact precisely with disease-related molecules or cells. Notably, in January 2023, the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 37 new molecular entities (NMEs), with approximately 34% of therapeutic NMEs classified as personalized medicines. This underscores the pivotal role of precision therapeutics in driving the antibody discovery market's growth.
Leading players in the antibody discovery market are investing in cutting-edge technologies to streamline and enhance antibody development processes. One notable innovation is the emergence of AI-based computational antibody drug discovery platforms, which leverage artificial intelligence and computational techniques to expedite antibody identification and optimization. For example, in October 2023, SwiftPharma BV introduced an AI-driven antibody discovery platform. This platform integrates artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and phage display techniques to swiftly predict high-specificity and high-affinity antibody-antigen binding. By mimicking natural language processing, this approach generates diverse antibody variations, enabling comprehensive antibody library creation with unprecedented efficiency. This advanced system significantly accelerates the discovery of potential antibody drugs.
In July 2024, Pentixapharm, a Germany-based biotech company specializing in radiopharmaceuticals, acquired Glycotope's target discovery unit for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition supports Pentixapharm's strategy to enhance its oncology pipeline by converting preclinical antibodies targeting various cancer indications into radiopharmaceuticals. In addition to the preclinical assets, Pentixapharm acquired Glycotope's laboratories, cell banks, tumor target database, and equipment, thereby further enriching its Intellectual Property portfolio beyond the CXCR4 receptor. Glycotope, also based in Germany, is a biotechnology firm focused on developing glyco-optimized antibodies for cancer immunotherapies.
