Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
refers to a wide range of liver conditions caused by the deposition of
fat in liver. NAFLD primarily develops in stages. The first stage is
fatty liver, which is harmless buildup of fat cells in the liver. The
second stage, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is associated with
inflammation and liver cell damage along with deposition of fat cells.
Cirrhosis is the advanced stage which can cause permanent liver damage
leading to liver failure. The common symptoms of non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease are weakness, sudden weight loss, tiredness, and dull
aching pain on the right side of stomach. NAFLD is diagnosed with liver
function test and ultrasound scanning. People suffering from obesity,
insulin resistance, high level of cholesterol, high blood sugar, and
type 2 diabetes are more prone to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Rise in prevalence of obesity globally, surge in diabetes, increase in
awareness about liver conditions in developing countries, high R&D
funding, and rise in government initiatives are the major factors
expected to drive the global non-alcoholic fatty liver disease drugs
market. According to the American Diabetes Association, nearly 9% of the
population of the U.S. is suffering from diabetes, the 7th leading
cause of death in the country. According to data published by the World
Health Organization (WHO), global obesity has tripled since 1975 and
more than 650 million adults and 41 million children were obese in 2016.
However, less availability of proper diagnostic facilities for
treatment of the disease is likely to restrain the global market.
The global non-alcoholic fatty liver disease drugs market can be segmented based on product type, stage, and distribution channel. In terms of product type, the market can be classified into antioxidants, lipid lowering agents, thiazolidinedione, FXR receptor agonists, biguanides, and others. The biguanides segment held the largest share of the market in 2017 and is expected to sustain its leadership position during the forecast period due to its wide use in the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Based on stage, the global non-alcoholic fatty liver disease drugs market can be categorized into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis segment dominated the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease drugs market due to increase in prevalence of obesity. The segment is expected to sustain its leadership position in terms of market share during the forecast period. Based on distribution channel, the global market can be divided into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. The hospital pharmacies segment dominated the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease drugs market in 2017 and the trend is likely to continue from 2018 to 2026.
