Delhi, India -- (SBWire) -- 11/04/2010 -- "According to Imarc’s latest research report, “Global Biopharmaceutical Market Report (2010-2015)”, the global Monoclonal Antibodies market was worth over US$ 31 billion in 2009, thus accounting for nearly 34% of the total global biopharmaceutical sales. Imarc expects this market to exceed US$ 79 billion by 2015. This represents an incremental growth of US$ 48 billion during 2009 and 2015, representing more than 64% of the total global biopharmaceutical market growth during the period.

Findings in the report show that in 2009, eight Monoclonal Antibodies marketed during the year achieved sales worth more than US$ 1 Billion; and out of these, two were amongst the top ten selling pharmaceutical products. By 2016, six of the world’s top ten selling pharmaceutical products are expected to be Monoclonal Antibodies.

The report comprehensively investigates the factors that will drive the sales of Monoclonal Antibodies in the next five years and infers that a rich pipeline coupled with the high specificity and ability of Monoclonal Antibodies to attack targets beyond the reach of small molecule drugs will be the key strengths driving their growth in the next five years.
