Viral hepatitis encompasses a group of infectious diseases resulting from various viruses (hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E), primarily affecting the liver. The symptoms may vary depending on the specific virus, but common manifestations include fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever.
The primary types of viral hepatitis diseases include hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and others. Hepatitis A is a potentially life-threatening liver ailment caused by the hepatitis A virus. Diagnosis is typically achieved through liver biopsy, blood tests, imaging tests, and other diagnostic methods. Treatment options involve antiviral drugs, surgery, vaccines, immune modulator drugs, and others. These treatments can be administered through various routes, including oral and parenteral, and are commonly offered in hospitals, specialty clinics, homecare settings, and other relevant healthcare facilities.

The increasing prevalence of hepatitis is expected to drive the growth of the viral hepatitis market in the coming years. Hepatitis refers to a liver infection caused by various infectious viruses and non-infectious substances, leading to several health complications. Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E are some of the viruses responsible for viral hepatitis, which causes liver inflammation and damage. For example, in April 2024, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, a government health agency based in Sweden, reported 28,855 cases of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection across 30 EU/EEA Member States in 2022, marking a 78% increase from the 16,187 cases recorded in 2021. Furthermore, the total number of cases in 2022, which amounted to 28,420, represented a crude rate of 8.5 cases per 100,000 people. Therefore, the growing prevalence of hepatitis will fuel the expansion of the viral hepatitis market.
The increasing volume of research and development (R&D) endeavors is expected to serve as a powerful growth driver for the viral hepatitis market. Research and development initiatives focused on viral hepatitis encompass a wide spectrum of activities, including the development of vaccines, antiviral medications, diagnostic tests, epidemiological studies, public health interventions, genomic research, prevention strategies, global health campaigns, clinical trials, and investigations into co-infections. The upsurge in R&D activities not only fosters innovation in treatment approaches but also expands the array of options for diagnosis and prevention. This, in turn, leads to a higher number of clinical trials, stronger global health initiatives, and heightened competition among pharmaceutical companies. For instance, in November 2022, researchers in Melbourne secured funding of $1.7 million for the next five years through the mRNA Victoria Activation Program. This funding is set to advance their pioneering work in the quest for a cure for hepatitis B virus infection. Consequently, the escalation in the number of research and development activities is a driving force behind the growth of the viral hepatitis market.
Prominent companies active in the viral hepatitis market are dedicated to advancing the development of new drugs to reinforce their position within the market. The pursuit of drug development and innovation serves to enrich scientific understanding by shedding light on disease mechanisms, thus expediting the creation of novel treatments. For instance, in November 2022, Gilead Sciences Inc., a biopharmaceutical company based in the United States, disclosed the FDA's granting of the supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for Vemlidy (tenofovir alafenamide) 25 mg tablets. These tablets are designed for once-daily administration to address chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with compensated liver disease. The approval for Vemlidy's utilization in this specific group of pediatric patients was backed by the results of a 24-week Phase 2 clinical trial.
In November 2023, GSK plc, a pharmaceuticals company based in the U.K., acquired exclusive rights to a hepatitis B therapy from Janssen Pharmaceuticals for $1 billion. With the acquisition of the rights to JNJ-3989 (also known as ARO-HBV), an antisense oligonucleotide drug, GSK aims to enhance its portfolio and reinforce its position in the chronic hepatitis B treatment space by adding a new and potentially valuable therapy. Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a Belgium-based subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, is known for developing treatments for infectious diseases, including chronic hepatitis B.
