The breast cancer segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 3.22 billion in 2018. Moreover, breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, especially in women. In addition, it is linked to a high rate of morbidity and is responsible for a sizable portion of cancer-related fatalities. Therefore, it is crucial to establish efficient and focused breast cancer therapy choices. Furthermore, ADCs provide a viable alternative for treating breast cancer as they target cancer cells specifically and deliver cytotoxic medicines straight to the tumor site. In addition, this targeted delivery reduces the potential side effects associated with traditional chemotherapy, such as damage to healthy cells and tissues. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
The cleavable linker segment is a major component of the global antibody drug conjugates market. In addition, ADCs are a brand-new family of targeted therapeutic agents that combine small-molecule medicinal potency with the specificity of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Moreover, the ability to selectively release the drug inside the intended cancer cell is made possible by the cleavable linker, which connects the cytotoxic payload (drug) and the antibody. In addition, the cleavable linker is intended to cleave effectively and selectively in the target cell to enable successful drug delivery, but it should also be stable in circulation to prevent premature drug release. .Furthermore, advanced cleavable linkers are witnessing increasing demand as ADC development moves forward. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
