Overview


With six approved drugs, namely POLIVY™ (2019), LUMOXITI™ (2018), BESPONSA® (2017), MYLOTARG™ (2017, reapproval), KADCYLA® (2013) and ADCETRIS® (2011), and more than 300 candidates in the pipeline (clinical/preclinical stages), antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a promising class of therapeutics for the treatment of various disease indications. Over time, medical researchers have been able to further develop their understanding of the intricacies of ADC design and have also improved the development process of these complex pharmacological interventions. ADCs are engineered therapeutics comprised of monoclonal antibodies attached to potent cytotoxic payloads through chemical linkers. Given the fact that ADCs are highly potent cytotoxic molecules, the manufacturing of ADCs requires elaborate technical capabilities and highly potent chemical substances. Specifically, the multi-step process of production of cytotoxic payloads, which are used in ADCs, requires a contained environment, dedicated manufacturing facilities, specialized analytical and purification techniques, and storage facilities. However, several ADC developers do not have the in-house capabilities to manufacture cytotoxic payload on a commercial scale and tend to rely on contract manufacturers. As per the estimates, 70-80% of ADC manufacturing operations are outsourced. 

Since 2000, several contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), offering HPAPI and cytotoxic drug related services have been established to cater to the rise in demand of cytotoxic payloads in ADCs and other similar therapeutic interventions. In addition, several ADC developers have forged strategic partnerships with payload providers to advance the development of pipeline ADC candidates. Given the growing clinical pipeline of ADCs, coupled to the various technological advancements, the market for ADC payloads and warheads is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the coming years.


Scope of the Report


The “ADC Cytotoxic Payloads/Warheads Products and Services Market: Distribution by Type of Product (Commercialized ADCs and Clinical ADCs), Type of Payload (Microtubule Inhibitors, DNA Damaging Agents, Topoisomerase Inhibitors and Others), Payload/Warhead (Auristatins, Calicheamicin, Camptothecin, Duocarmycin, Maytansinoids, Pyrrolobenzodiazepines and Others) and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World)” report offers a comprehensive study of the current and future opportunity within the ADC payloads and warheads market.

In addition, it provides a list of ADC developers, along with information on their year of establishment, company size and geography. The chapter also highlights the key players (in terms of number of drugs developed) in this industry. 

A case study on the ADC contract manufacturing market, highlighting a list of contract service providers and in-house manufacturers that are currently active in this space. The chapter includes a detailed review of the overall landscape of companies offering contract services for the manufacturing of ADCs, along with information on the type of service offered, other services offered, scale of operation (preclinical, clinical and commercial) and location of manufacturing facilities.

One of the key objectives of this report was to evaluate the existing market size and the future potential of the ADC payloads and warheads market in the mid to long term. Our year-wise projections of the current and future opportunity have further been segmented on the basis of [A] type of payload (microtubule inhibitors, DNA damaging agents, topoisomerase inhibitors and Others) [B] payload/warhead (maytansinoids, auristatins, camptothecins, maytansinoids, pyrrolobenzodiazepines, calicheamicin, duocarmycin and Others), [C] type of product (clinical and commercial ADC) and [D] key geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World). In order to account for future uncertainties and to add robustness to our model, we have provided three forecast scenarios, namely conservative, base, and optimistic scenarios, representing different tracks of the anticipated industry’s growth.

The opinions and insights presented in the report were influenced by discussions held with senior stakeholders in the industry.
