Key Takeaways
• The global next-generation drug conjugates market was valued at USD 11.7 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 29.4 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 9.8%.
• Growth is driven by next-generation ADCs, radioimmunoconjugates, and novel linker systems enabling high target selectivity and reduced toxicity.
• Oncology remains the dominant application, accounting for over 75% of the total market share.
• North America leads in clinical pipeline activity, while Asia-Pacific is emerging as a major hub for ADC contract manufacturing and innovation partnerships.

Market Overview
Next-generation drug conjugates (NGDCs) are hybrid therapeutics that combine the targeting specificity of biologics with the potency of small molecules. These include antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs), and polymer-drug conjugates (PLDCs), designed to deliver cytotoxic agents directly to diseased cells while minimizing systemic exposure.

Continuous innovation in conjugation chemistries, such as site-specific linkers and cleavable payload systems, is expanding therapeutic windows across oncology, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. In oncology, NGDCs are increasingly used in treating hematologic malignancies and solid tumors resistant to conventional therapies. Additionally, AI-driven discovery and computational modeling are accelerating candidate optimization and clinical success rates.
