The global hepatic fibrosis biomarkers market size was estimated at USD 423.51 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2,291.73 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 20.01% from 2025 to 2033. The rising prevalence of NASH, a consequence of obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and metabolic syndrome, has led to a greater focus on hepatic fibrosis biomarkers.
According to the study published in the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, NAFLD affects one-third to two-thirds of individuals with type 2 diabetes. Studies also indicate that over 90% of individuals with extreme obesity and up to 75% of overweight individuals have NAFLD. One of the key drivers propelling the demand for NASH-specific hepatic fibrosis biomarkers is the clinical significance of fibrosis staging. The risks and limitations associated with liver biopsies and non-invasive biomarkers offer a safer and more patient-friendly approach to monitoring hepatic fibrosis progression in NASH patients.
As of the most recent estimates, approximately 3.3% of the global population is living with advanced hepatic fibrosis, with rates rising to around 3.5% when measured using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE). Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), recently redefined as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), affects about 25% of the world's population, with prevalence increasing to 38% in certain regions between 2016 and 2019 due to rising obesity and type 2 diabetes rates.
The adoption of tests such as ELF, FIB-4, NAFLD fibrosis score, APRI, and FibroTest/FibroSure, alongside emerging multi-marker panels like IGFBP7/SSc5D/Sema4D, is enabling earlier detection, accurate staging, and reduced reliance on invasive liver biopsies. These advancements, combined with rising screening initiatives, are positioning hepatic fibrosis biomarkers as a central tool in tackling the global liver disease epidemic.
The dynamics of liver fibrosis are specifically targeted by noninvasive biomarkers of liver condition, such as NASH, which offer a novel tool to assess a patient's disease progression. Such indicators for liver illness could be applied to patient risk classification as well as prognostic enrichment of clinical trials aimed at the individuals with the highest risk, improving the likelihood of success. These blood biomarkers are also accurate indicators of the dynamics of liver fibrosis and can be used to gauge the success of a given treatment. Nordic Bioscience NASH specialists can examine a precise panel of liver fibrosis biomarkers, including the biomarker PRO-C3 NASH, which offers insight into the course of the illness.
