Hepatitis Drugs Market Prospering With Huge Public and Private Investments

A number of factors such as the soaring elderly population, surging incidence of hepatitis, and increasing investments being made in research on hepatitis and drug discovery are expected to support the hepatitis drugs market growth in the forthcoming years. Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver which is usually caused by a viral infection. In recent years, the rising number of partnerships and collaborations among market players has become a prominent market trend. These collaborations aim at providing new solutions for treating hepatitis.


One of the key growth drivers for the hepatitis drugs market is the rising prevalence of hepatitis B and C. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 296 million people across the world were suffering from the chronic hepatitis B infection in 2019. Furthermore, the organization reveals that this infection affects around 1.5 million people each year. Additionally, the WHO estimates that around 58 million people are currently living with the chronic hepatitis C infection worldwide. As per the WHO estimate, 820,000 deaths and 290,000 fatalities were caused due to hepatitis B and hepatitis C, respectively, in 2019.


The type segment of the hepatitis drugs market is categorized into hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and others. Among these, the hepatitis C category generated the highest revenue in the preceding years, and it is projected to demonstrate the fastest growth in the upcoming years. According to the WHO, the hepatitis C virus infection affects around 1.5 million people each year. Hepatitis C virus, a bloodborne virus, is usually transmitted through the transfusion of unscreened blood and blood components, inadequate sterilization of syringes and needles, and sharing of injection equipment for drug administration.


Thus, the surging incidence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C and increasing R&D activities in the development of hepatitis drugs will facilitate the market growth in the foreseeable future.
