Antibody is a blood protein produced in response to a specific antigen. An antibody is also known as immunoglobulin and is generally Y-shaped in structure. Advances in genetic engineering have made antibodies, especially monoclonal antibodies, more robust and efficacious as these increase the binding capacity to any type of specific antigen and are quite effective as a diagnostics tool to evaluate various infectious diseases. However, demand for diagnostic specialty antibodies is anticipated to decline during the forecast period owing to failure of antibodies in rapid diagnostic test for routine diagnosis and high cost of monoclonal antibodies.
The global Diagnostic Specialty Antibodies Market was valued at US$ 20,000 Mn in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5% from 2018 to 2026 to reach US$ 35,000 Mn by 2026. Surge in government investment in diagnostic health care and increase in launch of new, innovative biologic diagnostic kits are likely to fuel the growth of the global diagnostic specialty antibodies market from 2018 to 2026.
High unmet needs in the global diagnostic specialty antibodies market present lucrative opportunities for existing players and new entrants. For instance, Abcam plc plans to strengthen its position in Asia, specifically in China, to increase market share in unpenetrated segments and offer custom products and licensing. Additionally, in November 2016, Roche launched the global cancer immunotherapy Centers of Research Excellence (imCORE) network which brings together world’s leading scientific and clinical experts in cancer immunotherapy to collaborate in investigating promising new treatment approaches. The company announced investment up to CHF 100 Mn (US$ 98 Mn) to support basic and clinical research collaborations related to cancer immunotherapy.
