North America Antibody Drug Conjugates Market Overview

The antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) market in North America is analyzed based on the US, Canada, and Mexico. The market growth in the region is attributed to increasing research and development for ADCs, rising product approvals, growing awareness about ADCs, and rising number of mergers, collaborations, and partnerships among the operating players. In addition, significantly growing incidences of cancer are among the other leading factors escalating the demand for ADCs.

Furthermore, growing partnerships among the companies to expand their technologies in different regions enable market growth. In August 2023, ImmunoGen, Inc. and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited collaborated to develop and commercialize ELAHERE, Immunogens ADC therapy, in Japan. Under the collaboration agreement, ImmunoGen, Inc. receives upfront and additional payments upon conversion of FDA accelerated approval of ELAHERE to treat platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. If Takeda achieves certain regulatory and commercial milestones and double-digit royalties through the net sales of ELAHERE in Japan, it will pay an additional payment to ImmunoGen, Inc. Nevertheless, Immunogen has retained its exclusive production rights and will supply the product for development and commercialization in Japan. In return, Takeda will be responsible for all regulatory filing and have an exclusive license to develop and commercialize ELAHERE in Japan.
