Driving Factors Behind Market Growth
Rising Incidences of Diseases
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and pregnancies significantly fuels the demand for diagnostic antibodies. As these health issues become more common, the need for accurate and efficient diagnostic tools becomes more critical.
Funding and Product Approvals
The availability of funding from various organizations for disease diagnosis and clinical trials involving diagnostic antibodies is a major driver. Additionally, the growing number of product approvals for test kits containing diagnostic antibodies supports market expansion. These kits are essential for timely and precise disease detection.
Opportunities in Emerging Markets
Emerging markets present significant growth opportunities due to the high prevalence of diseases and initiatives by public and private organizations to improve diagnostic activities. These initiatives aim to eradicate infectious diseases, providing a fertile ground for the adoption of diagnostic antibodies.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Market
Positive and Negative Effects
· The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the diagnostic specialty antibodies market. On one hand, the surge in COVID-19 cases increased the demand for point-of-care test kits containing antibodies, as they offer faster results compared to other testing methods. Public organizations worldwide purchased large quantities of these kits for mass testing.
· For instance, in September 2020, the WHO partnered with various organizations, including the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to provide COVID-19 antigen test kits to low and middle-income countries. Similarly, the European Commission signed an agreement with major companies to purchase millions of rapid antigen tests.
Challenges
Conversely, the pandemic caused supply chain disruptions, leading to shortages of test kits. Nationwide lockdowns and restrictions hindered the availability and distribution of these essential diagnostic tools, impacting the market negatively.
Key Market Segments
1. Primary Antibodies
The primary antibody segment is expected to generate a larger proportion of revenue in 2022. Primary antibodies are preferred due to their ability to directly bind with targeted antigens and recognize post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as glycosylation and phosphorylation. They are essential in almost all assays, contributing to their large market share.
2. Recombinant Antibodies
Recombinant antibodies are projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. These antibodies are more cost-effective than monoclonal antibodies and offer better binding affinity to target antigens. Their shorter production time further drives their demand in the market.
3. ELISA
The ELISA segment is expected to account for the largest market share in 2022. ELISA tests are favored for their high specificity, efficiency, and sensitivity. They are relatively simple and cost-effective compared to other assays, such as western blot and IHC, boosting their demand.
4. Unconjugated Antibodies
Unconjugated antibodies are anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Their specificity and sensitivity make them highly sought after, especially for developing secondary antibody conjugates.
5. Infectious Diseases
The infectious diseases segment is projected to account for the largest share in 2022. The rising incidences of infectious diseases globally drive the demand for diagnostic testing. The trend of self-testing kits and increasing regulatory approvals for infectious disease test kits further contribute to this segment's growth.
Regional Insights
Asia-Pacific: The Fastest-growing Market
Asia-Pacific is set to be the fastest-growing regional market due to the rising prevalence of diseases and the increasing incidences of unintended pregnancies. The region benefits from funding for improved diagnostics and numerous government initiatives to eradicate infectious diseases. Developments such as product approvals and distribution agreements for antibody-based test kits also boost market growth.
Strategic Initiatives and Future Trends
Eradication of Infectious Diseases
· Various organizations are dedicated to eradicating infectious diseases by enhancing diagnostic testing. These efforts are expected to drive the adoption of diagnostic antibodies. Notable initiatives include:
· The U.S. government's funding of $332 million for global TB control programs in 2021.
· The European Commission's 'Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan' aimed at improving cancer diagnostics.
· The CDC's strategic plan to eradicate hepatitis in the U.S. by 2030.
· The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' plan to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S. by 2030.
Growing Prevalence of Diseases in Emerging Countries
Emerging countries are witnessing a high burden of diseases, leading to increased demand for antibody-based test kits. For example, cancer cases in China are projected to rise from 4.57 million in 2020 to 6.85 million by 2040. Similarly, diabetes cases in Mexico are expected to increase from 12.8 million in 2019 to 22.3 million by 2045.
