Analysts’ Viewpoint on Global Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Therapeutics Market Scenario
As there is no FDA-approved drug to treat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, pharmaceutical companies and market stakeholders are expected to launch pipeline drugs to cure this silent liver disease. The global nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics market is driven by increase in global prevalence rate of diabetic and obesity, along with rise in awareness about the treatments and drugs available for the same. Moreover, in order to boost credibility credentials, manufacturers are engaging in clinical trials of Elafibranor and various other drugs that help in reducing fat percentage in liver. Market stakeholders should focus on mergers & acquisitions and research collaborations with other companies to launch innovative products for the effective treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in the upcoming years.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disorder categorized by excess fat in the liver of people who drink little to no alcohol. No direct cause has yet been identified; however, obesity and insulin resistance are believed to play major roles. Most often, NAFLD goes relatively undetected, as a liver can remain fatty without obstructing its functions.
NAFLD can progress into a far more severe condition known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a disease characterized by inflammation and irreversible cell death. NASH is a disease that advances over time. Over a period of ten years, up to 20% of patients with NASH develop cirrhosis of the liver, and 10% succumb from the disease.
Presently, NASH is one of the leading causes of liver transplants in the U.S., with a considerable proportion of the general population currently suffering from the disease. NAFLD and NASH are both closely related to diabetes and obesity, and together are considered the leading cause of liver disease in countries in the West. Hence, there is an urgent need of effective treatment options for these diseases. This is expected to propel the nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics market over the next years.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is a type of liver disease diagnosed in people who are non-alcoholic or consume alcohol in very low amount. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is one of the commonly diagnosed liver diseases. The disease is also known as silent liver disease. Fat deposition in liver, along with inflammation is one of the significant conditions that occurs during the disease. The surge in the incidence rate of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis has increased the demand for therapeutics to treat the disease. Consequently, multiple drugs are being launched. These drugs aim to provide relief from the disease.
According to market analysts, the global nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics market is anticipated to witness double digit growth in the next few years. Increase in awareness among people about therapeutics is also a major factor boosting the growth of the market in various regions across the world. However, poor diagnostics and lack of proper diagnostic technique are projected to restrain the global market in the next few years.
Increase in research & development investments by pharmaceutical companies has led to seamless integration or multifunctional outsourcing solutions for drug research & development from the early development phase through the late-stage design phase. Outsourcing has grown as a strategic solution to offset the shortage of in-house resources necessary for product innovation, as pharma businesses face massive pressure to minimize operating expenses. Key pharmaceutical corporations are shifting to a simpler business strategy that primarily depends on outsourcing.
Majority of pharmaceutical companies outsource their testing facilities throughout research and development to increase profit margins, meet drug discovery timeframes, and save money.

The number of patients suffering from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is high across the globe. However, the number increases in developed economies such as North America. This provides significant opportunities to companies and research centers looking to invest in the market. Moreover, the number of children suffering from obesity has nearly tripled in the past few years. This requires urgent treatment methods to keep a check and cure the disease in its initial stages.
People in the U.S. also suffer from high cholesterol levels. There is no exact cure for the disease; however, treatment is still being developed and worked upon. Moreover, advancements in technology and continuous efforts by research firms to develop a more effective treatment method to drive the global nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics market.
The etiology of COVID-19 liver injury can be related to various reasons, including virus-induced inflammatory responses, hepatic obstruction, hypoxia, and drug-induced liver problems. Coronavirus has been linked to hepatic damage and liver-related fatality in cirrhotic individuals. The impact of COVID-19 on health services has had a negative influence on the care of delivery and the prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease. Consequently, there has been a drop in the therapy, detection, and follow-up of individuals with liver problems, which has had a severe effect on the healthcare industry. Additionally, drug clinical trials have stalled since most corporations have postponed the launch of newest studies in various nations.
The global nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics market has been segmented based on drug type into potential phase III candidates obeticholic acid (OCA), Aramchol, Saroglitazar, and Elafibranor. Moreover, the report provides a list of candidates in phase I and phase II clinical trials. Elafibranor is expected to account for a key share of the global market during the forecast period, followed by Obeticholic Acid (OCA). The Elafibranor segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2031.
Elafibranor has the capability to reduce fat substance of liver and has demonstrated positive impact during phase 3 clinical trials. This progress of the clinical trial has helped in the likelihood of commercialization of Elafibranor. Elafibranor has better prospects in the market, as there is no medicine available for the treatment of NASH.
Governments in both rich and emerging economies are advocating cost-cutting initiatives such as lowering prescription coverage costs and increasing the usage of generic medications. Governments, insurers, and individuals are putting substantial cost-cutting pressure on drug makers globally. This leads to increase in medication acceptance in developing countries, where there is a considerable need of low-cost treatments. This, however, has a negative effect on the performance of various pharmaceutical businesses. This trend is likely to continue during the forecast period, owing to the ongoing demand from insurers and lowering of pharma pricing by personal & corporate payers due to worries about providing more innovative drugs to treat prevalent ailments.
In terms of region, the global nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics market has been segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the global market, accounting for key share in 2021.
North America is significantly affected by NASH due to rise in population suffering from diabetes and obesity. Moreover, prevailing cases of high cholesterol and changes in lifestyle make North America an attractive market for future development and growth.
In Europe, countries such as Italy, Spain, Germany, the U.K., and France are the main areas with high prevalence of NASH. These countries are likely to be highly lucrative markets for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis therapeutics.
