Market Analysis and Size

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease that produces inflammation, fibrosis, and bile duct obstruction, resulting in the loss of tiny bile ducts within the liver. Autoimmunity, infection, and/or genetic predisposition are all possible causes of primary biliary cirrhosis. Itching, osteoporosis, high blood cholesterol, and malabsorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins are symptoms of primary biliary cirrhosis, which can progress to hepatomegaly and hyperpigmentation splenomegaly, jaundice, sicca syndrome, or Kayser-Fleischer rings. Primary biliary cirrhosis develops over time and might eventually lead the liver to stop functioning completely.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Primary biliary cholangitis, also known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is a chronic liver condition in which the bile ducts are gradually damaged. PBC has no known treatment. To control symptoms and reduce the progression of PBC, doctors prescribe medication. Ursodiol aids in the removal of bile from the liver. In many cases, this medication improves liver function and slows the course of liver disease. If ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is ineffective or cannot be tolerated, obeticholic acid is used alone or in combination with it. This treatment lowers bile production while increasing bile flow out of the liver. Other pharmacological choices are available depending on the individual circumstances of each patient and the existence of other medical disorders. If liver function continues to deteriorate after medical treatment, a liver transplant may be required.

Primary Biliary Cholangitis Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing prevalence of primary biliary cholangitis

The rising prevalence of primary biliary cholangitis across the globe is estimated to enhance the market's growth. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an uncommon disease that causes a persistent, progressive liver disorder. It primarily affects women and usually strikes between the ages of 30 and 60.  The tiny bile duct in the liver is usually affected by PBC. Primary biliary cholangitis is split into four phases: stage 1 (no scarring) to stage 4 (cirrhosis). A mix of causes, including autoimmune, genetic, and environmental factors, can cause PBC.

• Increasing investment for healthcare infrastructure

Another significant factor influencing the growth rate of primary biliary cholangitis 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.

Furthermore, rising initiatives by public and private organizations to spread awareness will expand the primary biliary cholangitis market. Additionally, the sedentary lifestyle of people such as high alcohol consumption and addiction of smoking will result in the expansion of primary biliary cholangitis market. Rising level of disposable income and surging geriatric population are the major factors anticipated to flourish the market’s growth rate during the forecast period of 2022-2029.

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 primary biliary cholangitis market growth. The primary biliary cholangitis treatment market is anticipated to grow because to an increase in pipeline research to discover prominent medicines for rare diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis. For instance, CymaBay Therapeutics, Inc. started a placebo-controlled, randomised phase 3 clinical trial for seladelpar 5-10mg in October 2018. The researchers wanted to see if seladelpar was safe and effective in individuals with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and if there was an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). The research was expected to be finished in December 2021. 

Moreover, rising investment for the development of advanced technologies and increase in the number of emerging markets will further provide beneficial opportunities for the primary biliary cholangitis 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 primary biliary cholangitis 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.
