<strong>Europe</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Monoclonal</strong> <strong>Antibodies</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />

The <strong>Europe</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Monoclonal</strong> <strong>Antibodies</strong> <strong>Market</strong> is a USD 7 billion market in 2015<br />

and is estimated to reach USD 11.8 billion by 2020 with a growth rate of 10.9%.<br />

<strong>Cancer</strong> is the cause of death for millions of people around the world. <strong>Cancer</strong>, which<br />

starts from a single cell is gradually transformed to other cells by genetically<br />

transforming a normal cell to tumour. The dramatic increase in the size of cancer<br />

patients has made the pharmaceutical firms to shift their focus towards monoclonal<br />

antibodies market. The traditional way of treating cancer includes usage of drugs like<br />

chemotherapy agents which has adverse side effects. This prompted the usage of<br />

monoclonal antibodies to treat cancer.<br />

Recent years have seen the emergence of monoclonal antibodies owing to its<br />

potentiality to offer less toxic and highly efficient alternatives to the patients. The<br />

antibodies has the ability to treat many diseases related to inflammatory,<br />

autoimmune and especially cancer. The antibodies comprises of identical cells which<br />

are clones of a single parent cells and directed towards specific targets cells. Thus<br />

monoclonal antibodies due to its specificity to target only cancer cell leaving behind<br />

the healthy one, can be a more efficient way of treating cancer than chemotherapies<br />

or drugs.<br />

Increased prevalence of cancer disease is the primary driver for the market. It has led<br />

many pharmaceutical companies to invest heavily in monoclonal antibodies due to<br />

its customizable nature of attacking only the cancer cell. The other drivers for the<br />

market include increasing investments in R&D of genomic studies, advancements in<br />

target gene selection and genetic sequencing and specificity of antibodies to target<br />

only the cancer cells. There are also hurdles prevailing for the monoclonal antibodies<br />

market like high costs of development, strict guidelines by the governments, longer<br />

periods required for clinical trials and research & development.<br />
