Market Segmentation

The Japan antibody therapeutics market share is classified into product type, source, and application.

• The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan antibody therapeutics market is segmented by product type into monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Among these, the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing need for targeted therapies in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune, and inflammatory disorders, propel the market. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have transformed treatment by targeting disease-inducing antigens specifically, providing high specificity and enhanced therapeutic responses in numerous medical conditions.

• The human mAb segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan antibody therapeutics market is segmented by source into human mAb, murine mAb, humanized mAb, and chimeric mAb. Among these, the human mAb segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is owing to an increasing inclination for fully human monoclonal antibodies, which have advantages such as lower immunogenicity and fewer side effects, making them highly suitable for long-term therapy and enhancing patient safety and therapeutic efficacy.

• The cancer segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan antibody therapeutics market is segmented by application into cancer, inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and others. Among these, the cancer segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing cancer incidence and expanding need for successful targeted therapies. Monoclonal antibodies now play a crucial role in treating cancer, with increased specificity and fewer side effects than conventional chemotherapy, offering better patient outcomes and quality of life.
