GLOBAL FC FUSION PROTEIN MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Since the approval of Enbrel(R) (a CD4-Fc fusion protein for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis) in 1998, Fc fusion protein therapies have become a prominent class of therapeutics. At present, 13 Fc fusion protein-based drugs are commercially available, and approximately 50 additional molecules are in development for a range of disease indications. These therapies combine the advantageous pharmacological properties of biologically active ligands with the unique characteristics of the crystallizable fragment (Fc) domain of immunoglobulin G (IgG). Moreover, due to their ability to prolong the serum half-life of biologically active proteins, these disease-modifying therapies are utilized in a variety of therapeutic areas. Some of these include oncological, neurological, respiratory, and rare genetic disorders.

Currently, numerous drug developers are actively involved in the development of novel Fc fusion therapies with improved efficacy. In fact, the research efforts by developers in this area are centered on enhancing the stability and solubility of the pharmacologically active component, ultimately aiming to boost its therapeutic potential. Consequently, the Fc fusion therapies market is expected to witness healthy market growth during the forecast period.
