The hepatitis c market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent years, the market size for hepatitis C has witnessed a swift expansion. The market, which is currently valued at $67.17 billion in 2024, is projected to rise to $76.32 billion in 2025, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%.
The factors that have propelled growth in the historic period include practices of blood transfusion, the use of injection drugs, the dearth of sufficient treatment options, and the advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs).
The hepatitis c market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations for the Hepatitis C market postulate a swift expansion in the approaching years, increasing to a value of $134.03 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%.
Factors contributing to this projected ascension during the predicted period include global eradication endeavors, advancements in testing and screening methods, an escalation in healthcare expenditure, as well as the incorporation of telemedicine, and the emergence of innovative therapeutic duos. The forecast period also looks forward to the accommodation of affordable and accessible treatment options, a heightened focus on high-risk demographic clusters, improvements in drug formulations, increased collaboration, teamwork and alliances, and the incorporation of telehealth and digital solutions.
The hepatitis C market is anticipated to expand due to a projected rise in viral infections. The term viral infections delineates invasions caused by a virus within the human body. Hepatitis C therapies work by annihilating the viral infection and reinstating the immune response in patients who have been cleared of the virus. For example, data from August 2024 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a public health institute based in the United States, showed an increase in individuals affected by Parvovirus B19, a cyclical respiratory viral infection. This increase was seen across all age groups, with a jump from 3% during 2022–2024 to 10% in June 2024. The most substantial increase was noted amongst children aged 5–9 years, where the prevalence escalated from 15% during 2022–2024 to 40% by June 2024. Furthermore, the rate of pooled samples that tested positive for Parvovirus B19 DNA levels saw a considerable rise from 1.5% in December 2023 to 19.9% in June 2024. Consequently, the rise in viral infections is propelling the growth of the hepatitis C market.
