Dublin, Jan. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Next Generation Drug Conjugates Market: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, Till 2035” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global next-generation drug conjugates market is projected to surge from USD 4.2 billion in the current year to USD 15.5 billion by 2035, displaying a CAGR of 14.0% during the forecast period.
Next-generation drug conjugates are emerging as significant targeted treatments, particularly for rare diseases and various cancers, due to their non-immunogenicity, structural reliability, and effectiveness in precise delivery with minimized side effects. These conjugates utilize a diverse array of targeting agents and payloads, demonstrating efficacy against solid tumors, metabolic disorders, and hematological conditions.
Recent USFDA approvals for six next-generation drug conjugates underscore their clinical promise. Lutathera, Pluvicto, Givlaari, Oxlumo, Leqvio, and Amvuttra represent milestones in advanced treatment solutions. Market growth is expected due to ongoing innovations, successful trials, and strategic partnerships.
NEXT GENERATION DRUG CONJUGATES MARKET: KEY SEGMENTS
Currently, ligand-mediated RNAi conjugates lead the market. However, future growth is anticipated in ligand-attached anti-sense therapies. In terms of targeting ligand types, peptides currently hold a significant market share, yet amino sugars are projected to dominate in the upcoming decade.
Radionuclides are the leading payloads, with Si-RNA conjugates expected to expand quickly. Combination therapies also dominate, particularly through the intravenous route, though subcutaneous delivery is poised for significant growth.
Targeted indications like prostate cancer dominate the market share, while the hemophilia segment is set to grow rapidly.
MARKET GEOGRAPHY AND PARTICIPANTS
North America currently captures the largest market share, with notable growth anticipated in Asia-Pacific and other global regions. Key market players include Advanced Accelerator Applications (Novartis), Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Geron Corporation, and Ionis Pharmaceuticals.
