Hepatitis Therapeutics Global Market Report 2024

The hepatitis therapeutics market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $18.35 billion in 2023 to $18.89 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.0%. The growth observed during the historical period can be ascribed to factors such as the development of vaccines, the availability of antiviral medications, public health initiatives, increased research funding, and the emergence of new therapies.

The hepatitis therapeutics market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.79 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to ongoing research and development, global health endeavors, changes in patient care approaches, government initiatives, and increasing awareness of diseases. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass patient advocacy and support, continuous monitoring and follow-up, efforts towards healthcare equity, the adoption of telemedicine and remote care, and a specific focus on the elimination of hepatitis C.

The hepatitis therapeutic market is anticipated to experience growth due to the global rise in hepatitis infections. The surge in hepatitis cases can be attributed to factors such as inadequate access to healthcare and vaccinations, increased intravenous drug use, unsafe blood transfusion practices, and suboptimal sanitation and hygiene conditions in certain regions. As of April 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported at least 169 cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin in 11 nations, with an estimated 350 million individuals worldwide affected by viral hepatitis B or C. However, for the majority of affected individuals, testing and treatment remain inaccessible. Consequently, the hepatitis therapeutics market is expanding in response to the escalating prevalence of hepatitis infections.

The growth of the hepatitis therapeutic market is expected to be driven by the increasing number of clinical trials. Clinical trials, which involve evaluating new treatments and interventions in human participants, play a pivotal role in the development of hepatitis therapeutics. These trials provide a rigorous and ethical framework to assess the safety and efficacy of potential treatments, ensuring that patients have access to the most effective therapies available. According to Pharma Intelligence in June 2022, the total number of completed clinical trials witnessed an 8.8% increase, reaching 4,109 trials in 2021 compared to 3,777 trials in 2020. Therefore, the surge in clinical trials is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the hepatitis therapeutics market.

A key trend in the hepatitis therapeutics market is the emergence of product innovations. Major companies in the market are actively involved in developing new products to maintain their market position. In November 2022, Gilead Sciences, Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, obtained FDA approval for Vemlidy (tenofovir alafenamide) to treat pediatric patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
