Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) – Opportunity Analysis and Forecasts to 2029

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common, often clinically silent liver disease characterized by the presence of steatosis (fatty liver), in addition to liver inflammation and damage. Unlike alcoholic liver disease, NASH occurs in those who drink little or no alcohol. NASH usually presents with few or no symptoms, and most people affected with the disease feel healthy and are unaware they have a problem. However, symptoms including fatigue, weight loss, and weakness emerge once the disease has progressed to a more advanced stage, like cirrhosis. NASH is suspected if elevated liver enzymes are detected during routine blood panels, but it is only definitively diagnosed when a liver biopsy is performed.
Both NASH and non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) are histologically categorized under the umbrella of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFL is defined as the presence of a fatty liver with no evidence of hepatocellular injury or fibrosis, whereas NASH is defined as the presence of fatty liver and inflammation with evidence of hepatocyte injury, with or without fibrosis. NASH can progress to more advanced stages of liver disease including cirrhosis, liver failure, and in rare cases, liver cancer.

Key Questions Answered

How will the NASH therapeutic market landscape in the 7MM (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan) will change from 2019–2029?

What NASH therapeutics are in clinical development?

How do the clinical and commercial attributes of NASH therapies in development compare with one another, and which will become market leaders?

What are the remaining unmet needs in NASH?

What drivers and barriers will affect NASH therapy sales in the 7MM over the forecast period?

Scope

Key Highlights

Over the 10-year forecast period, GlobalData estimates the sales for the NASH market to grow from $144.4M in 2019 to $27.2B in 2029 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 68.8% across the 7MM. At the end of 2029, the US will contribute around 94.3% of global sales, while the 5EU and Japan will account for around 4.5% and 1.2% of sales, respectively.

GlobalData expects the main drivers of growth during the forecast period to be the US launch of Intercept’s Ocaliva in 2021, Inventiva’s lanifibranor in 2025 and Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic in 2026. Ozempic is anticipated to have rapid growth and be the highest grossing therapy by 2029 in NASH.

Throughout the forecast period, cost of therapy and slow reimbursement rates will likely hinder uptake of certain therapies. GlobalData also expects finding an alternative to liver biopsy will remain a challenge for diagnosis and measuring treatment response, although novel non-invasive tests such as Genfit’s NIS-4 could become validated in hopes of boosting diagnosis rates throughout the period.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
