It is also estimated that genotype 1b was the most prevalent genotype with 3.0 million cases, followed by genotype 1a with 1.9 million cases.
Features and benefits
- Gain insight to market potential, including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of hepatitis C virus prevalent cases.
- Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated with hepatitis C virus.
Highlights
Hepatitis C virus is a predominant bloodborne disease in the seven major markets. Datamonitor estimates that the average annual growth rate of prevalent cases of hepatitis C virus in the seven major markets (the US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) will be 0.49%.
Your key questions answered
- What are the most robust sources for hepatitis C virus prevalence data?
- How will the patient population change over the next decade in the US, Japan, and five major EU markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK)?
