Based on drug class, the chronic hepatitis D therapeutics market is divided into antiviral and interferons. The antiviral drugs segment held a major share of the market in 2023, due to their reliable efficiency in managing hepatitis D virus replication and progression.
Antiviral drugs, such as nucleotide analogs and pegylated interferons, aim to suppress viral replication and mitigate liver damage. Moreover, the advancements in drug formulations and treatment regimens have enhanced the tolerability and convenience of antiviral therapies further propel the segment.
The interferons segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate in the coming years, owing to the growing interest in harnessing the host immune response to combat hepatitis D virus infection. Pegylated interferon-alpha interferons affect both antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, which makes them attractive therapeutic options for hepatitis D. Additionally, the ongoing formulation with improved pharmacokinetic profiles and reduced side effects of interferons is further boosting the segment.
On the basis of distribution channel, the global market is segregated into online pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, and retail pharmacy. The online pharmacies segment is anticipated to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, due to the increasing adoption of digital healthcare platforms and the growing trend of telemedicine. Online pharmacies provide convenience, accessibility, and privacy for patients seeking to access specialty medications for chronic hepatitis D. Moreover, the rising number of users of e-pharmacies fuels the segment.
In terms of region, the global chronic hepatitis D therapeutics market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa. Europe held a major market share in 2023, due to the high prevalence of hepatitis D in certain countries and the presence of robust healthcare infrastructure in the region. The region has well-established regulatory frameworks that facilitate the approval and adoption of antiviral drugs and therapies. Furthermore, the growing adoption of comprehensive treatment strategies in this region for chronic hepatitis D further boosts the market.
The market in North America is projected to expand at a significant pace in the coming years, owing to the advanced biomedical research capabilities and the presence of strong pharmaceutical industry in the region. These establishments are on forefront of developing targeted immunotherapies for chronic hepatitis D. Furthermore, the growing population suffering from these types of disorders in this region further propels the market.
According to the report published by the National Library of Medicine in March 2022, the rate of hospitalization for hepatitis D was between 13.8 and 20.7 percent between 2010 and 2015.
