RECOMBINANT THERAPEUTIC ANTIBODIES AND PROTEINS MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Increasing government support for novel drug development is expected to augment the market growth

Governments are supporting research and development of novel products due to rapid advancements in biomedical science and technology to address unmet medical needs. In 2012, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) was signed to provide the FDA with the capability to establish breakthrough therapy designation (BTD), a new program within the Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions. It was designed to be available for drugs designed to treat a serious condition and that have been shown to exhibit initial clinical evidence of significant improvement over existing treatments.

Moreover, increasing number of rare diseases significantly impacting public health is expected to drive growth of the recombinant therapeutic antibodies and proteins market size. According to National institute of Health (NIH) 2018 report, an estimated 7,000 different disorders collectively affect about 10% of the U.S. population, mainly young children and many lack effective treatments. In order to encourage the development of drugs that specifically address unmet medical needs, in 2013, an orphan designation was given for drugs used for the treatment of less than 200,000 patients in the U.S.

However, government regulations are stringent for production and approval of recombinant therapeutic drugs in order to ensure that these products are effective and safe.
