The hepatitis therapeutics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a consistent growth witnessed in the market size of hepatitis therapeutics over the past few years. In terms of market value, it is projected to escalate from $18.66 billion in 2024 to $19.27 billion in 2025, which equates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The factors driving this steady growth during the historic period include the development of vaccines, provisions for antiviral medicines, initiatives in public health, allocation of research funding, and introduction of novel therapies.
The Hepatitis Therapeutics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, a consistent evolution is anticipated for the hepatitis therapeutic market, with an expected rise to $22.75 billion in 2029, and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%.
The surge in the market during the prediction span can be credited to ongoing research and development, international healthcare campaigns, changes in patient care, programs initiated by government, and increased awareness of the disease. Prominent trend projections for this period encompass advocating for patient rights and support, consistent monitoring and follow-ups, health care equality, telemedicine paired with remote care, and a concerted focus on eradicating hepatitis C.
The escalating rates of hepatitis infections around the world are anticipated to fuel the advancement of the hepatitis therapeutic market. Several factors such as limited access to healthcare and vaccinations, a surge in intravenous drug consumption, the prevalence of unsafe blood transfusion procedures, and substandard sanitation and hygiene conditions in certain global regions contribute to this rise in hepatitis infections. For example, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations public health agency based in the US, in April 2022, a minimum of 169 acute hepatitis cases of unknown origin were recorded across 11 nations, and 350 million people globally were living with viral hepatitis B or C. However, the majority still lack access to testing and treatment. Consequently, the escalating rates of hepatitis infections are causing the hepatitis therapeutics market to expand.
