The services segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.3% during 2025-2034. This growth is being fueled by a surge in outsourcing from pharmaceutical and biotech firms, which are turning to contract research and manufacturing organizations to manage complex bioconjugation tasks. These partnerships help companies minimize operational expenses, speed up development cycles, and bring targeted treatments like antibody-drug conjugates and precision therapies to market faster. As a result, bioconjugation services are seeing increased demand across global drug development pipelines.

In 2024, the antibodies segment generated USD 2.3 billion. Antibodies play a vital role in bioconjugate technologies due to their exceptional targeting capabilities. Their widespread use in drug conjugates stems from their ability to identify and bind to specific disease markers, allowing for more focused delivery of therapeutic agents while reducing harm to healthy tissue. Beyond therapeutics, antibodies are also integral to diagnostic and imaging platforms where accurate biomarker detection is essential.

U.S. Bioconjugation Market reached USD 2.2 billion in 2024.
