INTRODUCTION
BCC's goal in conducting this study was to determine the current status of the global therapeutic and diagnostic markets for monoclonal antibodies and their growth potential over a 5 year period from 2007 to 2012. We were particularly interested in the position of the antibody market in the immediate future compared to how it has performed in the recent past as well as how the market compares to that of small molecule pharmaceuticals.
Our key objective was to present a comprehensive analysis of the current monoclonal antibody market and its future direction.
