The Global Hepatitis C market to grow at a CAGR of 19.2% over the period 2013-2018 This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Hepatitis C market for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated through sales of various drugs administered to treat chronic hepatitis caused by genotype 1-6 of hepatitis C virus. One of the emerging trends in the market is the emergence of Interferon -free regimens. Various IFN-free regimens are under development as all-oral regimens. These therapies are expected to attain higher SVR and cause fewer side effects than currently approved therapies. According to the report, the launch of direct-acting antivirals is one of the major drivers of the market. These are administered in combination with other antiviral drugs such as ribavirin and PEG-IFN. They increase the efficacy of treatment and reduce the duration of therapy. Further, the report states that the side effects of current therapies are one of the major challenges in the market. Currently, approved drugs for hepatitis C are associated with poor tolerability and lower patient compliance rates. This, in turn, decreases the market revenue of the currently approved drugs.
