ADC TECHNOLOGY MARKET (FOCUS ON ADC LINKER & ADC CONJUGATION TECHNOLOGIES): GROWTH AND TRENDS
Antibody drug conjugate has emerged as a versatile anti-cancer therapy that has been proven to be more effective and less toxic to patients. Such interventions are designed to identify specific antigens that are expressed on the surface of cancer (target) cells so that the effects of the cytotoxin / drug are focused on the elimination of only the cancerous cells. Over the past few years, more than 20 ADC therapies have been approved by various regulatory agencies. Moreover, over 350 drug therapies are being evaluated in clinical trials across the globe. This demonstrates the extensive development initiatives that are being undertaken by stakeholders in this domain. However, the complex design and structure of ADCs present a significant challenge to the overall tolerability and efficacy of the molecule. Thus, more advanced ADC technology is required to generate the controlled assembly of ADCs while maintaining tolerability and safety profiles. It is worth highlighting that significant investments have been made in the ADC technology market in order to meet the growing demand for antibody drug conjugates. As drug developers invest more in these innovative therapies, the market for ADC technology is likely to witness substantial market growth during the forecast period.
