Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy Market is expected to register 11.2% CAGR during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025 and held a market value of USD 54.28 Million in 2018.
Hepatic encephalopathy is a neuropsychiatric complication that occurs in patients with end-stage liver disease. It develops in approximately 50% of patients who have cirrhosis. Factors responsible for development of over hepatic encephalopathy include gastrointestinal bleeding, metabolic disturbance, and liver infection. Around 30 million people in the US are diagnosed with some form of overt hepatic encephalopathy disease annually.
The global overt hepatic encephalopathy market is driven by factors such as the prevalence of cirrhosis, rising cases of road traffic accidents, and increasing healthcare expenditure. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) report 2018, about 30–45% patients suffer from overt hepatic encephalopathy in the US. On the other hand, the availability of traditional treatment methods is expected to hamper the growth of the global market during the assessment period.
Moreover, major companies in the market are involved in strategic acquisitions, collaborations, and mergers to maintain their position in the market.
