Global Primary Biliary Cholangitis Outlook 2025, Forecast To 2034

24 Mar, 2025

What Has Been the Progress and Growth of the Primary Biliary Cholangitis Market in Recent Years?

The primary biliary cholangitis market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for primary biliary cholangitis has significantly expanded in the past few years. The growth is projected to continue from $0.98 billion in 2024 to $1.09 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%.
This expansion during the historic period is credited to enhanced disease recognition, escalated worldwide medical care spending, strategic alliances in the medical field, emphasis on patient representation, and governmental efforts towards liver health.

How Does the Forecast Look for the Primary Biliary Cholangitis Market?

The primary biliary cholangitis market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, it is predicted that the primary biliary cholangitis market will experience robust growth, expanding to $1.6 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%.
This growth during the predicted period is likely due to several factors such as the expansion of biomarker research, worldwide initiatives in managing rare diseases, increased partnerships in clinical trials, patient-oriented healthcare methodologies, and an escalating need for liver transplants. Significant trends for the forecast period entail advancement in biomarker research, an increased focus on non-invasive diagnostic methods, research emphasis on immunomodulatory therapies, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (ai), patient-reported results in clinical trials, the application of telemedicine for patient management, a focus on combination therapies, and upcoming therapies targeting fibrosis.

What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Primary Biliary Cholangitis Market?

The primary biliary cholangitis market is poised for growth, spurred on by the rising prevalence of smoking. This act entails the inhalation and exhalation of smoke from burning tobacco or other substances. It's recognized that smoking is a risk factor for liver diseases, inclusive of PBC, and a rise in smoking will result in a greater number of people seeking healthcare for liver-related conditions. For example, government agency, Statistics Canada, reported that cigarette production in July 2023 witnessed an increase by 2.2% from June 2023, and there was a 2.6% uptick in cigarette sales in the same month, reaching 1.4 billion units. Therefore, the primary biliary cholangitis market is set to benefit from increasing smoking rates.

How Are Emerging Trends Reshaping The Dynamics Of The Primary Biliary Cholangitis Market?

Organizations operating within the primary biliary cholangitis market are aiming to carve out an exclusive niche for themselves by creating specialized and novel treatments. These include a mix of obeticholic acid (OCA) and bezafibrates, designated as orphan drugs, aimed specifically at tackling primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The objective is to offer a comprehensive and superior method of managing PBC, increasing the potential to enhance the quality of life for those suffering from this uncommon disease. For instance, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical entity from the US, was granted the status of an orphan drug by the FDA in May 2023. This was for the combined use of obeticholic acid (OCA) and bezafibrate, a PPAR agonist, as a possible means of treating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a degenerative liver disease. The US has approved the use of obeticholic acid (known in the market as Ocaliva) for PBC treatment.
