 Primary Biliary Cholangitis Treatment Market Analysis Poised to Grow Significantly Owing to Increasing Disease Prevalence


The Primary biliary cholangitis treatment market growth consists of drugs administered to manage primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), an autoimmune condition that damages and destroys bile ducts in the liver over time. Drugs offered under this market include ursodeoxycholic acid, obeticholic acid, and other novel pipeline candidates being developed to provide additional treatment options. Primary biliary cholangitis predominantly affects women, and if left untreated, the bile duct damage can progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis. The increasing prevalence of PBC globally is prompting drug manufacturers to develop advanced treatment alternatives.

The global primary biliary cholangitis treatment market is anticipated to witness substantial growth during the forecast period (2023-2030). It is projected to expand from US$ 650 million in 2023 to reach US$ 1,174.1 million by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.


Key Takeaways


Key players operating in the  Primary Biliary Cholangitis Treatment Market Analysis are Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Highlight Therapeutics, S.L., and GSK. Intercept Pharmaceuticals' obeticholic acid (Ocaliva) has been a blockbuster drug for PBC. In terms of the approval and launch of new drugs combined with geographical expansion plans by key players are anticipated to boost market growth. For instance, Highlight Therapeutics is developing new FXR agonists that are potentially safer than existing treatments. Global expansion strategies by major players also pose new opportunities. Intercept Pharmaceuticals announced strategic plans to widen Ocaliva's reach beyond key global markets. GSK also focuses on geographic expansion of PBC drugs into emerging markets.


Market Drivers


Increasing prevalence of PBC worldwide due to improved diagnostic capabilities and growing awareness among physicians and patients is a major growth driver. According to recent epidemiological studies, the disease impacts approximately 1 in 1,000 individuals globally.


Market Restraints


High cost of PBC drug treatment poses a significant restrain. For instance, the annual cost of Ocaliva ranges from $70,000–$100,000 in the US. Restrictive reimbursement policies in certain regions also hamper market growth to some extent.

However, some patients do not respond adequately to UDCA treatment and require second line treatment options. Fibrates are commonly prescribed second line treatment and expected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. By distribution channel, hospital pharmacies hold the largest share owing to higher patient volume and specialized care for autoimmune liver diseases in hospitals.
