Viral Hepatitis Global Market Report 2025

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.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The viral hepatitis market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides viral hepatitis market statistics, including viral hepatitis industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a viral hepatitis market share, detailed viral hepatitis market segments, market trends and opportunities and any further data you may need to thrive in the viral hepatitis industry. This viral hepatitis market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The viral hepatitis market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $16.21 billion in 2024 to $16.77 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to vaccine development, blood screening programs, antiviral drugs, global health initiatives.

The viral hepatitis market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to access to treatment, public health legislation, combination therapies, health equity initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include personalized treatment plans, digital health tools, ai in disease monitoring, hepatitis c micro-elimination.

The forecast of 4.1% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of direct-acting antiviral drugs and liver elastography devices sourced from Egypt and France, thereby limiting treatment affordability and elevating hepatology department costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

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.
