In recent years cancer has cancer has emerged as a major public health problem in the world and a few of the most common forms are breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer and leukemia. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) signify a promising and an efficient strategy for targeted cancer therapy. ADCs are being developed as a new class of highly potent bio-pharmaceutical drugs, and characterized as an advanced therapeutic application that has collective properties of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with the potent small molecule drugs (cytotoxin). At present times, as research, development and approval of ADC-based technology moves forward, ADC-based chemotherapy drugs will impact the current chemotherapy market. It is further expected to improve the quality of life for cancer patients and influence research and development in other pharmaceutical markets.
The factor which is significantly boosting the growth of the global Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) – Linker and Conjugation Technologies market is the rise in the incidence of cancer coupled with growing geriatric population. The increase in obese population and increasing research activities on antibody therapies is catalyzing the growth of Antibody drug conjugates industry. Also, increased investments by governments and private organizations for the preclinical research, and the cumulative research on oncology diseases are contributing to the growth of the global Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) – Linker and Conjugation Technologies market. Increased focus of medical professionals on development of alternative therapies and treatments owing to the continually growing prevalence of cancer is projected to create growth opportunities during the forecast period.
