Will Lead Drug Asceniv Fuel ADMA's Top-Line Growth in 2026?

ADMA Biologics ADMA markets plasma-derived biologics for the treatment of immune deficiencies and the prevention of certain infectious diseases.

Asceniv, its lead product, is a plasma-derived IVIG that contains naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies. It is indicated for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) or inborn errors of immunity in adults and adolescents.

Record demand for Asceniv, expected expansion in payer coverage, and growing confidence in long-term plasma supply are providing clear visibility into accelerating revenues in 2026.

The product is manufactured using ADMA’s unique, patented plasma donor screening methodology and tailored plasma pooling design, which blends normal source plasma with respiratory syncytial virus plasma obtained from donors tested using the company’s proprietary microneutralization assay.

Third-party suppliers outperformed expectations in 2025, and newly executed agreements now provide access to more than 280 plasma collection centers, significantly strengthening Asceniv’s long-term supply outlook.

Management believes Asceniv remains in the early stages of penetrating a large total addressable market and represents a key long-term growth driver for ADMA (supported by a differentiated, patented supply and manufacturing platform).

Revenues of $510.2 million in 2025 were up 20% from 2024, driven by higher Asceniv sales due to continued growth in physician, payer and patient adoption. Asceniv delivered record utilization in 2025, with revenues climbing 51% year over year to $363 million on strong demand and growing prescriber adoption.

ADMA expects 2026 revenues to exceed $635 million, while 2027 revenues are forecasted to exceed $775 million.

Competition in the Plasma Therapy Market

ADMA Biologics competes with Grifols GRFS and Takeda TAK for plasma-derived products.

GRFS is a leading producer of plasma derivatives globally, ranking among the three largest producers in the industry in terms of total sales, alongside Takeda and CSL Group. The main plasma products that Grifols manufactures are IG, Factor VIII, Alpha 1 (A1PI) and albumin. Grifols also manufactures intramuscular (hyperimmune) immunoglobulins (IGs), ATIII, Factor IX and plasma thromboplastin component.

GRFS has a strong presence in various segments of the plasma derivatives industry, including A1PI, IG and albumin, aided by its dominant position in plasma collection centers and fractionation capacity.

Takeda’s broad immunoglobulin portfolio includes Hyqvia, Cuvitru, Gammagard Liquid and Gammagard Liquid ECR. The company is developing next-generation IG products with 20% facilitated SCIG (TAK-881). It is also pursuing other early-stage opportunities (e.g., hypersialylated Immunoglobulin [hsIgG]) that would diversify its portfolio further.
