ADC Contract Manufacturing Market Overview

The ADC contract manufacturing market is estimated to be worth $2.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8% during the forecast period. In the past two decades, antibody therapeutics have become a key component of the treatment regimens against a range of diseases, specifically cancer. Representing one of the rapidly growing segments of the pharmaceutical industry, a number of technological advancements have been reported in this sector. In this context, a number of researchers are evaluating the potential of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of a myriad of disease indications. In addition to enabling better efficacy as compared to antibody therapeutics, ADCs exhibit higher stability, reduced toxicity, improved tumor selectivity, increased drug tolerance and less systemic exposure. It is worth highlighting that, in the last few years, more than 10 ADCs have received the FDA approval. Further, a number of ADCs are being evaluated across 700+ clinical trials for the treatment of a wide array of disorders. To support the ongoing  pace of research in ADC contract manufacturing market, a total of USD 14.8 billion (since 2014) has been the investment in ADCs domain by several private / strategic investors and government organizations, indicating the therapeutic potential and growing appeal of this unique class of targeted medicines. However, the production of this therapeutics is associated with several challenges, including generation of antibody aggregates, drug / linker side reactions, containment of highly toxic drug compounds, and lot-to-lot variation in drug-antibody ratio (DAR). Moreover, the manufacturing process often requires the use of cutting-edge linker technologies, which are expensive to acquire.
