The new research study consists of industry trends, detailed Fc and glycoengineered antibodies market analysis, key market insights, market impact analysis, market forecast and opportunity analysis. The growth in the opportunity for drug developers over the next decade is likely to be the result of anticipated increase in patient population and rise in the demand for Fc and glycoengineered antibodies.

Antibody based pharmacological interventions have become one of the fastest growing segments of the biopharmaceutical industry, with over 120 approved monoclonal antibodies, and close to 900 registered trials for clinical evaluation. In fact, it is worth highlighting that, these interventions are expected to contribute to the global sales surpassing USD 300 billion by 2025.

The therapeutic efficacy of a drug determines its ability to produce the desired therapeutic effects in treating a particular disease. A drug with high therapeutic efficacy improves treatment outcomes by increasing target specificity, reducing side-effects and extending half-life of the drug. Therefore, in order to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of antibodies, various Fc and glycoengineering strategies have been developed recently. Fc engineering increases the effector functions (such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC)) and half-life of the molecule by modifying their Fc regions. On the other hand, glycoengineering optimizes pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of therapeutic antibodies by controlling glycan composition in the molecule. These engineered antibodies are widely used in enhancing anti-tumor potential of monoclonal antibodies.
