1 | Market Overview
The antibody production market forms the cornerstone of modern therapeutic, diagnostic, and research-based biotechnology. As monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and polyclonal antibodies gain traction in immunotherapy, cancer treatment, autoimmune diseases, and infectious disease management, the demand for scalable, high-yield, and cost-effective antibody manufacturing platforms continues to accelerate. Key developments such as CHO cell-line engineering, single-use bioreactors, and continuous bioprocessing are revolutionizing both upstream and downstream workflows. Governments, CROs, and biotech firms are increasing investments in biomanufacturing infrastructure, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, to ensure rapid response capabilities and supply-chain resilience.
