Widespread prevalence of liver diseases and disorders, increasing geriatric population, and prevalence of unmet medical needs in the case of liver cancer are the primary factors augmenting the demand for effective liver disease therapeutics. Additionally, emerging economies are focusing on fuel vaccination drives to eradicate chronic ailments, which will also give a boost to the global market for liver disease therapeutics. Compiled with the intent of providing a comprehensive snapshot of the market, the report identifies several potential opportunities that may fuel the market’s growth in the future. The emerging markets in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, for instance, will provide lucrative prospects for the liver diseases therapeutics market, as these regions report high incidence of liver diseases. The high number of potentially highly effective and strong liver disease drugs in the pipeline presents promising opportunities for the overall healthcare industry. Despite exhibiting a positive growth potential, the market, according to a lead TMR analyst, “Will face inhibitions on its growth due to stringent FDA regulations. The risk of side effects from liver diseases drugs and the availability of generic substitutes will also negatively impact the global market for liver disease therapeutics to an extent.”Apart from these restraints, the impending patent expiry of blockbuster drugs may also have an adverse impact on the overall market.
