Global Liver Fibrosis Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Analysis and Size

In recent years, the liver fibrosis market is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period. As per the 2019 study "Burden of Liver Diseases in the World," liver illness causes roughly 2 million fatalities worldwide, with 1 million deaths due to cirrhosis complications and 1 million deaths due to viral hepatitis and hepatocellular cancer. Healthcare practitioners concentrate on treating liver fibrosis by addressing the underlying cause of the disease to prevent or slow the scarring of the liver. Chronic alcohol consumption, autoimmune hepatitis, storage and metabolism disorders such as Wilson disease, Galactosemia, Fructosemia, glycogen storage diseases, iron overload symptoms, Gaucher disease, bacterial, parasite, and viral infections, and disorders affecting hepatic blood flow, among others, are all possible risk factors for liver fibrosis management.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the liver fibrosis market was valued at USD 16.45 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 38.74 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 11.30% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. The market report curated by the Data Bridge Market Research team includes in-depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.

Market Definition

Repeated or persistent liver damage results in an unusually high quantity of scar tissue in the liver, which is known as liver fibrosis. Fibrosis has no symptoms, but extensive scarring causes cirrhosis, which causes symptoms. Healthcare providers use blood and imaging tests to determine the severity of the condition, and liver biopsy. Healthcare practitioners focus on treating the source of liver fibrosis, which often stops or slows additional scarring of the liver and leads to a better outcome. Antiviral medications and the removal or dissolution of a blockage in the bile ducts, are all potential treatments for liver fibrosis.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Liver Fibrosis Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing prevalence of liver fibrosis

The rising prevalence of liver fibrosis across the globe is estimated to enhance the market's growth. Along with this, the surging prevalence of risk factors such as chronic hepatitis B or C infection, a weakened immune system due to HIV co-infection, or the use of immunosuppressive medicines after a liver transplant is projected to enhance the liver fibrosis market.

• Increasing investment for healthcare infrastructure

Another significant factor influencing the growth rate of liver fibrosis market is the rising healthcare expenditure which helps in improving its infrastructure. Also, various government organizations aims to improve the healthcare infrastructure by increasing funding and this will further influence the market dynamics.

• Growing number of geriatric population

The surging geriatric population is estimated to enhance the market's expansion during the forecast period of 2022-2029. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the worldwide geriatric population, which was estimated to be over 524 million in 2010, is expected to increase to nearly 2 billion by 2050. Due to their compromised immune systems, geriatrics are more susceptible to liver fibrosis, further estimated to enhance the 'market's growth rate.

Furthermore, rising initiatives by public and private organizations to spread awareness will expand the liver fibrosis market. Additionally, the sedentary lifestyle of people such as high alcohol consumption and rising disposable income will result in the expansion of liver fibrosis market.

Opportunities

• Increase in the number of research and development activities       

Moreover, the market's growth is fueled by an increase in the number of research and development activities. This will provide beneficial opportunities for the liver fibrosis market growth. Along with this, rising drug approvals and launches will further propel the 'market's growth rate. 

Moreover, rising investment for the development of advanced technologies and increase in the number of emerging markets will further provide beneficial opportunities for the liver fibrosis market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints/Challenges

On the other hand, the high cost associated with the treatment will obstruct the market's growth rate. The dearth of skilled professionals and lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing economies will challenge the liver fibrosis market. Additionally, strict regulatory policies and lack of awareness among people will restrain and further impede the growth rate of the market during the forecast period of 2022-2029.

COVID-19 Impact on Liver Fibrosis Market

Since its emergence in December 2019, the COVID-19  virus has spread to nearly every country on the planet, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency. COVID-19, a new coronavirus, was identified as the causal agent in pneumonia cases. This virus spread quickly over the world, killing a large number of people. COVID-19 was labelled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, and rigorous measures to prevent the disease's spread were recommended. Since then, the pandemic has delayed the expansion of the healthcare sector and disrupted the supply chain. Furthermore, governments in many nations had imposed nationwide lockdowns to halt the spread of COVID-19. Similarly, healthcare organizations in numerous nations throughout the world were having difficulty continuing their supply chain activities. The supply chain slowness hampered the liver fibrosis market.

Recent Development

• In January 2022, Siemens Healthineers announced the launch of the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Test in the U.S. this test offers broad clinical access to the minimally invasive prognostic tool. The ELF Test is a simple, efficient blood test for determining prognosis in individuals with advanced fibrosis (F3 or F4) caused by non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a kind of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) characterized by liver inflammation.
