Liver Disease Treatment Market Insight 2030
The global liver disease treatment market size was valued at $20,673.70 million in 2020, and is estimated to reach $36,455.70 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2021 to 2030. Liver is the largest solid organ and largest gland in the human body. In addition, it suffers from various ailments, which are treated using different types of products. In addition, these products include different kinds of drugs and vaccines. For instance, anti-viral drugs are used to treat hepatitis that cause liver inflammation. In addition, hepatitis is fatal, and thus sometimes requires liver transplant. In such cases, immunosuppressant drugs that prevent rejection of transplanted liver in the body are used.
Furthermore, immunoglobulin is used in treatment of certain types of hepatitis. Moreover, vaccines are used to prevent hepatitis viral infection. For instance, vaccines are available for prevention of hepatitis A, B, and C. Furthermore, other products such as corticosteroids are used in the treatment of liver related autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis. Thus, there are various liver related conditions such as hepatitis, autoimmune diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver, cancer, and genetic disorders, which are treated by using different types of products such as anti-viral drugs, immunosuppressants, vaccines immunoglobulins, corticosteroids, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy.
Increase in prevalence of liver diseases such as the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and liver cancer, globally is majorly due to unhealthy lifestyle and alcohol consumption. In addition, rise in geriatric population globally further leads to disease dysfunction. Thus, there has been an increase in hospital admissions due to various abovementioned liver diseases as well certain genetic disorders, which are hereditary.
Considerable rise in alcohol consumption is one of the major reasons that leads to liver disorders, as some liver cells die as a result of the alcohol filtering process, thus leading to scar tissue build up in the liver. Although the liver can regenerate new cells, heavy drinking can impair this function and may lead to permanently damage. Alcohol-related liver disease also known as alcoholic liver disease is a phrase for three liver diseases linked to heavy drinking: alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic cirrhosis.
In addition, poor eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle causes weight gain further leading to obesity. Obesity, followed by alcoholism, is the major cause of fatty liver disease in adults. Fat accumulates in the liver as a result of being overweight or obese. This causes liver scarring and chronic inflammation (also known as cirrhosis). Obesity is closely associated to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Insulin resistance and inflammatory signals are caused by excess fat. Fatty liver disease is more likely to occur in patients who have hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, are overweight or obese, and have diabetes or insulin resistance. However, stringent regulatory approvals for novel drugs & vaccines and resistance to certain antiviral drugs restrain the market growth.
Furthermore, geriatric population is more prone to liver diseases compared to adults, owing to their low immunity levels. In addition, ageing has been shown to enhance vulnerability to acute liver injury. Initiatives taken by various governments, not-for-profit organizations, key players of the market for hepatic disorders play a pivotal role in increasing awareness about liver diseases around the world.
Thus, all these factors collectively provide opportunity for investments in R&D activities for the development of liver disease treatment solutions for better drug efficacy and safe therapy for already existing drugs as well as upcoming new molecular entities, which further drives the growth of the liver disease treatment market.
What is the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Liver Disease Treatment Market?
In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a moderate impact, owing to decline in demand for various drugs used in liver treatments. Furthermore, other factors responsible for the impact on the market include limited availability of medical care, shortage of healthcare staff, rise in burden of COVID-19 related hospitalization, and availability of drugs and vaccines. However, as the vaccinations for COVID-19 are available various governments are working to ensure undisrupted supply of life saving drugs and vaccines. Thus, this is expected to lead to a stabilization in the market overtime
Conversely, research studies and activities, including clinical trials for the efficacy and safety, for the treatment of liver disease by various researchers, companies, and government boosted the liver disease treatment market.
Furthermore, untapped, emerging markets are expected to offer potential growth opportunities, due to improved healthcare infrastructure, increase in unmet healthcare needs, and rise in R&D activities. In addition, various technological advancements in drug delivery is an emerging opportunity for key players to invest in the liver disease treatment market.
