Liver Fibrosis Treatment Market

Liver fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins including collagen that occurs in most types of chronic liver diseases. Advanced liver fibrosis results in cirrhosis, liver failure, and portal hypertension and often requires liver transplantation. Liver fibrosis is characterized by repeated or continuous damage to liver resulting in an abnormally large amount of scar tissue in the liver. Fibrosis does not show any symptoms, however severe scarring results into cirrhosis, which further leads to cause symptoms. To detect the severity of chronic liver disease, healthcare professionals conduct blood and imaging test, followed by liver biopsy, if required. In the possible treatment options for liver fibrosis, healthcare professionals focus on treating the cause, which often stops and slows down further scarring of liver and results in improvement of the condition. The possible treatment options for liver fibrosis include use of antiviral drugs, removal or dissolution of a blockage in the bile ducts, lifestyle changes such as lower consumption of alcohol, control regime for obesity and overweight, and controlling blood sugar & lipid levels in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver.  

Market Dynamics

The underlining prevalence cases of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) are expected to increase over the forecast period with increasing amount of population consuming high fat diet. Increasing obesity and diabetes epidemics, liver fibrosis, and NASH are expected to drive market growth, as key players are focused on developing treatment for these disorders. For instance, in April 2022, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information, the prevalence of NASH has significantly increased in the U.S. in the last decade. This is likely related to the increased prevalence of risk factors as well as increased awareness of the disease. The proportion of patients with NASH by gender was 54.1% female verses 45.9% male in 2021. Experts estimate about 24% of U.S. adults have Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and about 1.5% to 6.5% of U.S. adults have NASH. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) states as simple fat, which impacts on 20% to 30% of those individuals who progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Another 20% to 30% of individual’s progress to more advanced Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) fibrosis, and the final stage is Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis.
