Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses. They recognize and attach to antigens, which are specific molecules found on the surface of these invaders. This attachment either neutralizes the pathogen or signals other immune cells to destroy it. Antibodies are a crucial part of the adaptive immune system, with each one targeting a specific antigen.
The main product types in the antibodies market include monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates. Monoclonal antibodies are lab-created molecules engineered to specifically target certain proteins or antigens within the body. These products are used for various disease indications, such as cardiovascular diseases, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and more, and are utilized by hospitals, long-term care facilities, research institutions, and others.
The antibodies market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides antibodies market statistics, including the antibodies industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with antibodies market share, detailed antibodies market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the antibodies industry. These antibodies market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The antibodies market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $286.81 $ billion in 2024 to $331.01 $ billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, growth in number of clinical trials, expansion of therapeutic areas, growth in awareness of personalized medicine, and rise in diagnostic applications.
The antibodies market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $580.61 $ billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing cancer research, growing immunotherapy applications, increasing use of monoclonal antibodies, rising number of clinical trials, and increasing adoption of precision medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include the implementation of advanced biomanufacturing technologies, advancements in antibody engineering, integration of high throughput screening methods, implementation of next-generation sequencing technologies, and implementation of novel delivery systems.
The increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases is expected to drive the growth of the antibodies market. Autoimmune diseases are conditions where the immune system mistakenly targets and damages its own tissues, including disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. The rising incidence of autoimmune diseases is linked to environmental factors, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle changes. Antibodies are critical in this context as they target and neutralize specific immune cells or inflammatory molecules that erroneously attack the body's tissues, thus reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms. For example, in May 2024, the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation, a UK-based non-profit organization, reported an increase in the global number of people with multiple sclerosis from 2.8 million in 2020 to 2.9 million in 2023. Consequently, the growing prevalence of autoimmune diseases is contributing to the expansion of the antibodies market.
Leading companies in the antibodies market are focusing on developing validated antibodies to improve accuracy and ensure consistent results in both diagnostics and therapeutics. Validated antibodies are those that have undergone testing and confirmation for accuracy and specificity in detecting target proteins. This validation enhances the reliability of research findings and the effectiveness of antibody-based products. For instance, in March 2024, Bio-Rad Laboratories, a US-based life science research and clinical diagnostics company, introduced Celselect slides validated antibodies designed for rare cell and circulating tumor cell (CTC) enumeration. This advancement enhances the study of tumor heterogeneity and disease progression. The validated antibodies, compatible with Bio-Rad's Celselect Slides Enumeration Stain Kits, facilitate precise CTC detection, representing a significant advancement in cancer research and diagnostics.
In June 2024, Johnson & Johnson Services Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical and medical device company, acquired Proteologix Inc. for $850 million. This acquisition aims to strategically advance Johnson & Johnson's development of innovative treatments for immune-mediated diseases by integrating Proteologix's advanced bispecific antibodies. The acquisition aligns with Johnson & Johnson's objective to enhance its immunology portfolio with effective and optimized therapies for conditions such as atopic dermatitis and asthma. Proteologix Inc. is a US-based provider of antibodies.
