Global Antibody Discovery Market to Soar from USD 1.9B in 2024 to USD 3.3B by 2030

Release time: 2025-09-02 View volume: 149

Recent market analyses estimate the antibody discovery market at USD 1.9 billion (2024) with growth to USD 3.3 billion by 2030—a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 9.8%. Momentum is driven by strong pipelines in monoclonal antibodies, rapid uptake of bispecifics, and accelerated investment in antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs).

Growth

What’s Driving the Growth?

1) Diversified Modalities

mAbs: Continued clinical success and lifecycle management for established targets.
Bispecifics: Expanding into oncology and autoimmune indications with novel pairings (e.g., CD3 x tumor antigens).
ADCs: Better linkers/payloads and target validation reduce attrition; more programs move to pivotal stages.

2) Faster, Smarter Discovery

Single B-cell platforms and naïve/immune libraries shorten timelines and improve epitope coverage.
AI/ML-assisted design speeds affinity maturation, developability screening, and liability prediction.
Stable cell line and process intensification de-risk scale-up into preclinical/clinical supply.
