Hepatic Encephalopathy Market to Surpass US$ 4,151.3 Million by 2026

The Global Hepatic Encephalopathy Market, by Drug Class (Antibiotic, Laxatives, and Others), by Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, and Online Pharmacies), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) was valued at US$ 2,547.8 million in 2018 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2018 - 2026).

Increasing number of awareness programs related to hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is expected to propel the market growth. These programs focus on creating awareness among patients and healthcare professionals regarding different treatment options for HE and possible risk factors such as liver disease, hepatic cirrhosis, and hepatitis C. There are symptoms which need to be noticed to avoid further risks. The symptoms of HE can vary from person to person and may depend on the severity of the liver disease and how well the patient is able to eliminate the liver toxins. In addition, HE adversely affects sleep hygiene. Government healthcare regulatory bodies are also engaged in the hepatic encephalopathy market, supporting the research & development and awareness activities. For instance, ALIVER is the US$ 8.5 million project, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research programme. Work started on ALIVER on January 1, 2017 and will end on September 30, 2020. The ALIVER Consortium has developed a novel and innovative liver dialysis machine that will help the liver to naturally regenerate and to keep patients alive and healthy until a donated liver is available. The American Liver Foundation is dedicated to facilitating, advocating, and promoting education, support, and research for the prevention, treatment, and cure of liver disease. The American Liver Foundation celebrates Hepatitis Awareness Month in May and urges everyone to learn what can be done to prevent the spread of hepatitis. Many forms of hepatitis are preventable and can be treated if detected early.

Key Takeaways of the Hepatic Encephalopathy Market:

The global hepatic encephalopathy market is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2018 – 2026), owing to increasing number of awareness programmes related to Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE).
