Breast cancer monoclonal antibodies (mABs) refer to the use of antibodies for the treatment of both early-stage and advanced breast cancer. They work by recognizing and binding to specific proteins present on cancer cells. Each monoclonal antibody targets a distinct protein, which is why different mABs are developed to address different types of cancer. Depending on the protein they target, these antibodies destroy cancer cells through various mechanisms.
The primary types of breast cancer monoclonal antibodies include naked mABs and conjugated mABs. Naked mABs are antibodies that are not attached to any drugs or radioactive substances and function independently. They are the most commonly used type of monoclonal antibody in cancer treatment. Treatment approaches include chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, and hormone therapy, and these are utilized across sectors such as hospitals and retail pharmacies.
Tariffs have impacted the breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market by increasing costs associated with imported biologics, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and specialized manufacturing equipment. Hospital and retail pharmacy distribution channels in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on global supply chains. These cost pressures can slow adoption in price-sensitive markets. However, tariffs have also encouraged local biologics manufacturing, biosimilar development, and regional production capabilities, supporting long-term market stability.
The breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market statistics, including breast cancer monoclonal antibodies industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market share, detailed breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the breast cancer monoclonal antibodies industry. This breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.47 billion in 2025 to $23.36 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising global prevalence of breast cancer, early approvals of monoclonal antibody therapies, increasing awareness of targeted cancer treatments, expansion of oncology treatment centers, growing use of biologic therapies in oncology.
The breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of next-generation conjugated mabs, increasing focus on personalized cancer treatment, rising adoption of biosimilars, expansion of oncology biologics manufacturing, growing healthcare investment in cancer therapeutics. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of targeted monoclonal antibody therapies in breast cancer, increasing use of combination therapies with chemotherapy and hormone therapy, growing demand for her2-targeted and biomarker-specific treatments, expansion of conjugated monoclonal antibodies for advanced breast cancer, improved clinical outcomes driving long-term monoclonal antibody use.
The increasing global prevalence of breast cancer is anticipated to drive the growth of the breast cancer monoclonal antibody market in the coming years. Breast cancer is a condition in which breast cells multiply uncontrollably, forming tumors that can invade surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body. The rise in breast cancer cases is largely associated with lifestyle changes, as factors such as unhealthy diets and reduced physical activity elevate the risk of abnormal cell growth in breast tissue. Breast cancer monoclonal antibodies are used in treatment by selectively targeting and inhibiting cancer cell growth pathways, which helps slow tumor progression and improve patient outcomes. For example, in June 2024, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a US-based organization, approximately 25.4 million cosmetic minimally invasive procedures were performed in 2023, including 153,600 breast lift surgeries, representing a 7% increase compared with 2022. Therefore, the rising prevalence of breast cancer worldwide is expected to support the expansion of the breast cancer monoclonal antibody market.
Major companies operating in the breast cancer monoclonal antibodies market are introducing innovative subcutaneous formulations to improve treatment convenience, shorten administration times, and expand patient access to HER2-targeted therapies. Subcutaneous combination therapies enable faster delivery of biologics without the need for extended intravenous infusions, enhancing patient experience and improving healthcare efficiency. For instance, in November 2023, Chugai Pharmaceutical, a Japan-based biopharmaceutical company, launched Phesgo, a fixed-dose subcutaneous combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab, for the treatment of HER2-positive breast and colorectal cancer. This development is intended to simplify HER2-targeted therapy by allowing quicker and more convenient administration while maintaining clinical effectiveness. The launch strengthens Chugai's oncology portfolio and supports broader adoption of patient-friendly biologic treatments in cancer care.
In December 2023, Pfizer Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, acquired Seagen Inc. for $42 billion. This acquisition is designed to reinforce Pfizer's position in the oncology sector by expanding its portfolio of innovative cancer therapies, particularly targeted treatments for various cancers, including breast cancer. Seagen Inc. is a US-based biotechnology company focused on developing advanced cancer therapies, especially monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates.
