Market Definition

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a kind of progressive autoimmune disease of the biliary system with a chronic course, which eventually worsens with time. When body’s own immune system attack the healthy cells and tissue of bile duct and liver, it leads to slow damage of the interlobular bile ducts. This condition causes intrahepatic cholestasis which damages cells and tissue leading to scarring, fibrosis and ultimately cirrhosis. As per the WHO statistics, liver cirrhosis is most common in Northern Europe and North America. This disease prevalence is rising and important diagnostic procedures and treatments will boost the growth of the market.

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Market Scope and Segmentation

Global Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Availability of Advanced Treatment Procedures

With each decade, varied treatment methods are available to help the patients' faster recovery. Development of diverse advanced devices are providing high output, carrying out several tests in a very short duration of time, and reducing weight time significantly. Thus, it acts as a major driver in the market growth.

• Huge Number of Pipeline Studies

Growing pipeline studies to develop prominent treatments for several rare diseases such as primary biliary cirrhosis are expected to increase the primary biliary cirrhosis market size. For instance, in October 2018, CymaBay Therapeutics, Inc., started placebo-controlled and randomized phase 3 clinical trial for seladelpar 5-10mg. The primary goal was to assess safety and efficacy of seladelpar in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and to determine inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). The study is projected to complete in December 2021. Thus, this studies are contributing to the market growth.

• Increase in the number of research and development activities       

The market growth is boosted by a rise in the number of R&D activities. This will provide beneficial opportunities for the global biliary atresia treatment market. The government is funding research and development (R&D) initiatives to encourage researchers and pharmaceutical companies to develop novel medicines.

Opportunities

• Strategic Initiatives and Collaborations

Increasing initiatives such as acquisitions by major market players is predicted to boost the market size. For instance, in June 2016, Retrophin, Inc. attained ownership of a liquid formulation of ursodeoxycholic acid from Asklepion Pharmaceuticals, LLC. Ursodeoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that liquefies gall stone which is rich in cholesterol and increases the flow of bile in primary biliary cirrhosis. All these factors are also contributing in the growth of the market.  

• Increasing Drug Approvals from Authorizations

Growing number of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for the treatment drugs of primary biliary cirrhosis is contributing to the market growth. For instance, in May 2016, the U.S. FDA approved Ocaliva (obeticholic acid) alongwith the combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) for the treatment of Primary Biliary cirrhosis in adults. Furthermore, in 2016, Ocaliva was assigned fast track designation and orphan drug designation by the U.S. FDA.

Restraints/Challenges

• Complications of Primary Biliary cirrhosis Drugs

Common complications of Primary Biliary cirrhosis might hamper the market growth. For instance, the FDA approved drug called ursodeoxycholic acid for this disease is associated with complications such as difficulty in breathing, itchy skin, swollen face or lips. This restrict the market growth.

• Unavailability of Appropriate Treatments

To treat rare conditions, all treatments are not available, especially in the under-developed countries. The severe patients’ needs to be treated with the advanced techniques but at times, these are not available in the hospitals and clinics. Thus, it hampers the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Market

COVID-19 has left a major global public health crisis impacting practically every business and a heavy impact on the global biliary atresia treatment market. The COVID-19 pandemic has really had a great impact on research and clinical trials of primary biliary cirrhosis. They have been extremely impacted due to the immense lack of new sample collections. Furthermore, as per the article published by American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, a considerable decline in donations with unparalleled financial challenges and the cancellation of all fundraising events, will definitely impact liver research funding. Histopathological signs of autoimmune reactions have been observed analyzing autopsies from patients deceased from COVID-19. Several studies conducted on telemedicine in many parts of the country during the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with autoimmune liver disease exhibited quite low rates of symptomatic SARS CoV-2 infection, with total favourable outcomes.

Many hospitals have decided to cancel or postpone other procedures during the pandemic. The situation improved a bit after the pandemic, and doctors and physicians could focus on the other syndromes, including these rare ones. Travel restrictions has uplifted and treatments are expanding at a high pace. In terms of genetic counselling, telemedicine is also on the rise and is really helpful, especially for treating these diseases.
