Hepatitis Market
Overview
Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver. The condition can be
limited to self or can advance to scarring, cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Hepatitis viruses are the most common origin of Hepatitis in all over the
world. Sometimes, other infections, toxic substances (e.g. alcohol, certain
drugs), and autoimmune diseases can also cause Hepatitis.
“Nearly 1 million people die every year worldwide due to
Hepatitis”
Hepatitis types
Hepatitis classification is based on the two types. One is acute
if the condition lasts for less than six months and chronic when the condition
persists for more than six months. Based on disease type, the hepatitis
therapeutics market is segmented into A, B, C, and others. The other segment
covers the hepatitis market that estimates for hepatitis D and E, which occur
rarely compared to the other three conditions.
The access to hepatitis treatments of this disease has been
limited to people who have a high-income level owing to high drug price, which
might act as a restraining factor for the hepatitis market. The hepatitis
market dynamics will change globally because of the introduction of generic
versions of drugs.
The global therapeutics hepatitis market size was estimated at
USD 19 billion in 2016 and is pegged at a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period
for hepatitis market size forecast. There are a few prominent factors that are
expected to boost the hepatitis market; they are growing viral Hepatitis
prevalence, rise in the number of autoimmune diseases, and the surge in
healthcare expenditures across the globe.
The therapeutics hepatitis market share analysis is mainly
dominated by North America, followed by Europe and the Asia Pacific. In 2016,
the North America hepatitis market forecast accounted for 43 % of revenue
mainly due to the high demand in the U.S., relatively higher affordability of
patient population, and awareness about advance therapeutics in the
region.
Hepatitis B Virus Overview
One of the viruses is the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) that causes
Hepatitis B, which is a life-threatening liver infection. It is a significant
concern and a significant global health problem. It can be an acute infection
or a chronic infection. Chronic Hepatitis B Virus infection is the leading
cause of chronic Hepatitis and advanced-stage liver diseases, including
cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatitis B virus is a
blood-borne and sexually-transmitted virus, which is acquired by percutaneous and
mucosal exposure to blood or/ and body fluids of an infected person. The
clinical manifestations of Hepatitis from different origins may be quite
similar.
Hepatitis B Virus Infection is estimated to have 786,000 deaths
and the vast majority being attributable to liver cancer (341,000 deaths) and
cirrhosis (312,000 deaths). Hepatitis B Virus infection ranks 15th among all
causes of human mortality. Around two billion people globally have been
infected with the Hepatitis B Virus infection and about 360 million live with
chronic Hepatitis B infection. The Hepatitis B Virus prevalence in the general
population is heterogeneous in Europe, ranging 0.1-7 % depending on the
country. The Hepatitis B Virus global prevalence varies widely. It ranges from
0.5 % in areas of low endemicity (e.g., North America and some Western European
countries) to rates above 8% in the highly endemic countries of Sub- Saharan
Africa and East Asia.
Hepatitis B virus market
Now taking into consideration of Hepatitis B virus market, it is
dominated by chronic Hepatitis B medication, which focuses on viral suppression
and includes two therapy classes, oral nucleoside analogues (NUC) –
Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) and pegylated
interferon (PEG-IFN). For acute hepatitis B infection, no specific treatment is
available; only care is focused on maintaining comfort and required nutritional
balance, including replacement of fluids (lost due to vomiting), etc.
