Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2l26vd/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Market (Pipeline analysis, drug class, clinical trials and Geography) - Research Report, 2013 - 2020" report to their offering. A new report entitled, "Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Market (Pipeline analysis, drug class and Geography) Global Size, Industry Analysis, Trends, Opportunities, Growth and Forecast, 2013 - 2020", indicates that the global nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market would reach $1.6 billion by 2020 registering CAGR of 25.6% from 2014 to 2020. The high prevalence of Type II diabetes and obesity, which lead to NASH and other non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD), would boost market growth. North America's heightened focus on NASH research has resulted in it accounting for nearly half of the global market. It is also the region with the maximum occurrences of NASH and other non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases. Europe ranks second in terms of the prevalence of NASH. The number of patients living with the diabetes worldwide is expected to soar from 371 million in 2012 to 552 million by 2030. This suggests that by 2030, there will be 3 new cases of diabetes every 10 seconds. "The rampant growth of diabetes and obesity has prompted pharmaceutical manufacturers to seek out novel pharmaceutical solutions to tap promising potential in NASH," states AMR analyst Roshan Deshmukh. "Instrumental initiatives and increasing clinical trials for the development of novel NASH therapeutics will steer its faster commercialization," adds the analyst.
