Application Segment Analysis Preview  

The study provides a crucial view of the research antibodies by segmenting the market based on product, technology, application, end-user, and region. All the segments of the research antibodies market have been analyzed based on present and future trends and the market is estimated from 2018 to 2025.

Antibodies also called immunoglobulin are proteins prepared by B cells of the immune system. The antibodies recognize foreign substances or antigens and bind to the epitope regions of antigens and flag them for destruction. Thus it helps in protecting the body from foreign invasion. The antibodies can be constructed in the laboratory through recombinant DNA technology. The ability of immunoglobulin to recognize and bind to specific molecular structures or sequences makes it the ideal tool for cell research and protein function studies for the isolation of molecules of interest.

The demand for the research antibodies market is driven by increasing cell-based research and development activities, genomics and proteomics research for the development of new protein therapeutics, increasing acceptance of personalized medicine, growing collaborations between industries and academic institutes, increasing focus on new biomarker development, etc. However, time-intensive antibody development methods and cost are major factors that may restrain the market growth along with quality concerns. Emerging markets are expected to bring new growth opportunities for major manufacturers of research antibodies. Growth in the biopharmaceutical industry and increasing R&D spending in emerging markets may open new avenues for the research antibodies market.

Based on product, the global research antibodies market is bifurcated into reagents and antibodies. The reagents segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018 whereas the antibodies segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Continuous and large volume use of reagents for routine assays has attributed to the largest market share of reagents. Increasing the use of antibodies for research in various application areas such as oncology, stem cell research, immunology, infectious diseases, etc. will help to register the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Based on the type of antibodies product segment is categorized into secondary and primary antibodies. Based on source antibodies product segment is categorized into rabbit, mouse, and others. Based on research applications antibodies product segment is categorized into infectious diseases, oncology, immunology, and other applications.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and others constitute the technology segment of the global research antibodies market. The western blotting technology segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2018. Western blotting technology allows quantification at as low as 0.1 nanogram level and thus is widely used technology across the globe.  Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period.

Based on applications market is segmented into genomics, drug development, proteomics, and other applications. The proteomics application segment held the largest market share in 2018. This large share is attributed to the increasing demand for proteomic-based approaches in cancer profiling and biomarker selection, increasing R&D spending, and government grants for proteomics research.

The end-user segment is divided into include contract research organizations, academic & research institutes, and pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies. Pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies were the largest end users of the research antibodies market in 2018. Availability of funds, increasing R&D activities for new therapeutics development, and drug discovery and development process attribute to the largest market share of pharmaceutical & biotechnological companies.
