The global monoclonal antibody therapy market size was USD 230.87 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 263.28 billion in 2024 to USD 792.37 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 14.8% over the forecast period. North America dominated the global market with a share of 47.91% in 2023.


In the current scenario, monoclonal antibody therapy is growing at an unprecedented success, revenue growth, accelerated research, and traction owing to their effective clinical outcomes. Monoclonal antibodies such as Remicade, Rituxan, Remicade, Humira, and Herceptin have emerged as blockbuster drugs, which are in turn boosting the market. Apart from this, the market is being flooded by numerous biosimilars owing to less cost, easy approval process, and patent expiry. This is also driving the growth of the market.


Increasing research and development funding for the development of novel monoclonal antibodies is expected to favor the market during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by BioProcess International in August 2022, out of the total commercialized biopharmaceutical products, monoclonal antibodies dominate the market with around 50% share. This is expected to positively impact the global market.


Due to the unprecedented occurrence of the coronavirus pandemic, the healthcare industry underwent a major setback at the initial stage of the supply chain. The key players in the monoclonal antibodies therapeutics market experienced a decline in the sales growth for their products. Amid the pandemic, the top-selling drug in the market, Humira, witnessed a positive growth of 4% as compared to the year 2019. However, some drugs such as Roche’s Herceptin, Avastin as well as J&J’s Remicade observed a decline in the revenues owing to the lower demand as compared to the year 2019.


In a different scenario, the COVID-19 pandemic had boosted the R&D sector of the companies with an aim to launch mAbs-based COVID-19 treatment in the market. For instance, in November 2020, U.S FDA granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals monoclonal antibodies casirivimab and imdevimab for treatment of COVID-19. Therefore, such innovations impacted the sales of the global market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the continued launch of innovative monoclonal antibody therapies is anticipated to contribute to the market growth during the forecast period of 2024-2032.


Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Market Trends


Strategic Research Collaborations Will Open New Growth Opportunities


With the growing focus of operating entities toward the development of mAb therapies for different indications, various strategic initiatives have been undertaken by these players. Along with this, increasing R&D investments in this sector have boosted these collaborations in the past few years, which in turn is becoming a significant market trend. Also, owing to the increasing adoption of these novel drugs, new manufacturers want to enter the highly competitive market, and strategic collaborations can be a useful tool to sustain their position. For instance, in February 2024, OSE Immunotherapeutics SA collaborated with Abbvie Inc. for the development of novel monoclonal antibody therapy to treat chronic and severe inflammation. This drug is currently in the pre-clinical development stage.

Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Market Growth Factors


Significant Investment in Development of Novel Therapeutics to Boost Growth


Monoclonal antibody therapy is a fast emerging extraordinary tool as a treatment option for chronic diseases, especially cancer. Preference towards these drugs is gradually rising, resulting in blockbuster sales of few products such as Herceptin and Humira, among others. This, in turn, has encouraged major pharmaceutical companies for huge research investments in the field of monoclonal antibodies. Along with the operating players, various government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Human Health Services (HHS) are also providing funds for the development of innovative mAb products. For instance, in August 2023, HHS awarded a funding of more than USD 1.4 billion for the Project NextGen. This project includes the development of monoclonal antibodies along with other therapies.


Apart from this, green signals from the regulatory authorities for the entry of biosimilars of existing products are further fostering the global market value.


Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases to Favor Market Growth


The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer is one of the major factors augmenting the growth of the global market. Chronic diseases pose a major burden across the globe which is propelling the governments of various countries to put efforts in reducing the cost burden pertaining to their spread. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 6 in every ten adults in the U.S. are suffering from a chronic disease, leading to an annual healthcare cost of USD 3.5 trillion. Furthermore, unmet patient needs and improving health reimbursement policies for therapeutic monoclonal antibodies used as a treatment option for chronic diseases are projected to fuel the monoclonal antibody therapy market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Regulatory Policies for Approval Process to Hamper Market Growth


Despite promising results for monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of various diseases, the long and strict regulations for approval and launch will be a major hindrance to the monoclonal antibodies therapy revenue. Many clinical studies are withdrawn mainly due to failure to meet the stringent regulations and end results framed by the regulatory authorities. The manufacturing process of all mAb products must adhere to the stringent regulatory guidelines to ensure the high quality of the final product. The filling of the final drug product must fulfill the requirements related to integrity, sterility, operational safety, and others. In addition to this, potential side effects of these drugs are other factors restricting the monoclonal antibody therapy market growth.


Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Market Segmentation Analysis


By Type Analysis


Human Monoclonal Antibody Segment to Dominate Market Owing to High Humira Sales


On the basis of type, the global market is segmented into human mAb, humanized mAb, chimeric mAb, and murine mAb.


The human mAb segment accounted for the dominating position in 2023. This can be attributed to the higher sales and demand for Humira. Moreover, the entry of Adalimumab biosimilars is expected to augment the segment during 2024-2032. For example, in February 2024, dalimumab biosimilar (AVT02; Simlandi) was launched by Alvotech.


The humanized monoclonal antibody segment is poised to surge owing to the increased number of humanized mAb therapies and rising research funding by pharmaceutical companies. Genentech, a company of Roche, is conducting research on Obinutuzumab, a humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of end-stage renal disease. This is likely to render remarkable growth to the humanized mAb segment. Technological advancement to develop a molecular-level understanding of diseases, rising aging population, and expanding applications of monoclonal antibodies are factors contributing to the expansion of the chimeric monoclonal antibody and murine monoclonal antibody segments.
