Factors such as the increasing R&D activities and expenditure in the life science industry, increasing funding for proteomics research and drug discovery, and the growing collaboration between industries and academic institutes are the key drivers of the research antibodies market. However, the quality concerns over research antibodies (with respect to research reproducibility), cost- and time- intensive antibody development processes, and the pricing pressures faced by prominent market players are the major challenges currently at play in the market.

The Research Antibodies Market (including reagents) is expected to reach USD 12.60 Billion by 2022 from an estimated USD 9.33 Billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.

Major Market Developments

• In January 2017, Merck expanded its end-to-end bio-development centers in North America, China, and Europe to meet increasing customer demand and also to increase its manufacturing capabilities.
• In March 2016, Thermo Fisher Scientific (US) acquired Affymetrix, Inc. (US) expanding the company’s research antibody portfolio, and strengthening its leadership in the biosciences business. It also helped Thermo Fisher add new genetic analysis capabilities in the clinical and applied markets.
• In April 2016, Abcam launched a suite of immunoassay, products based on recombinant monoclonal antibody pairs used in ELISA to study secreted biomarkers by life science researchers

On the basis of product, the reagents segment accounted for the largest share of the global research antibodies market (including reagents), in 2016. This can be attributed to the fact that a large number of reagents are used in various routine assays and techniques.

Based on technology, the western blotting segment accounted for the largest share of the research antibodies market. Its ability to quantify as little as 0.1 nanograms of protein in a sample with high specificity makes it an indispensable tool in proteomic research; this is the key factor driving market growth.

Based on application, the proteomics segment accounted for the largest share of the research antibodies market. The large share of this segment is attributed to the deployment of proteomic-based approaches in biomarker detection and cancer profiling, increasing R&D expenditure, and availability of funds from various organizations.

Based on end user, the pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies segment accounted for the largest share of the research antibodies market owing to the high uptake of research-specific antibodies in the drug discovery and development process, along with the increasing use of these research tools in the ever-developing proteomics research sector.
