Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Market Report 2025

The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.5 billion in 2024 to $6.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of NASH, obesity epidemic, growing awareness and diagnoses, shift in lifestyle and dietary patterns, healthcare infrastructure development.

The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in NASH drug development, increasing NASH screening initiatives, rising healthcare expenditure, collaborative research efforts, government support and regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on lifestyle interventions and patient education, increased collaboration in clinical research, regulatory advancements and pathway designations, integration of artificial intelligence in diagnosis and monitoring.

The increasing prevalence of obesity is driving the demand for the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market. Obesity is characterized by an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that poses significant health risks, as well as a body weight exceeding what is considered healthy for a person of a specific height. With the growing incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease linked to the obesity epidemic, NASH is projected to become one of the leading causes of severe liver disease in the coming decades, heightening the demand for NASH treatments and related medications. For example, in March 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO), a UK-based international public health organization, reported that in 2022, approximately 2.5 billion adults aged 18 and older were classified as overweight, with 890 million of them living with obesity. Thus, the rise in obesity cases is expected to drive the growth of the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market.

The rising demographic of the geriatric population is a key driver fueling the demand for the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market. The geriatric population, representing individuals aged 65 and older, exhibits specific healthcare needs associated with aging. The ongoing development and advancements in treatments within the NASH market play a crucial role in enhancing overall health outcomes for the elderly, addressing a prevalent liver-related condition prevalent in aging individuals. As indicated by the World Health Organization in October 2022, the global elderly population is anticipated to witness a significant increase, with 1 in 6 individuals being 60 or older by 2030 and an estimated 2.1 billion elderly people by 2050. This demographic shift underscores the imperative role of the increasing geriatric population in driving the growth of the Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) market.

Major companies in the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market are focusing on the development of thyroid hormone receptor-beta (THR-beta) agonists to improve liver metabolism, decrease liver fat accumulation, and enhance liver function. THR-beta agonists are compounds that specifically activate the thyroid hormone receptor-beta subtype, a crucial receptor involved in regulating metabolism, growth, and development. For instance, in March 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Rezdiffra (resmetirom), the first treatment for adults with noncirrhotic NASH and moderate to advanced liver scarring (fibrosis). By selectively activating the THR-beta receptor, Rezdiffra aids in regulating lipid metabolism, resulting in a reduction of intrahepatic triglycerides and overall liver fat accumulation.

Prominent companies in the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products, exemplified by a focus on a thyroid hormone receptor (THR)-β selective agonist. This innovative therapeutic approach is designed to target fundamental underlying causes of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. The thyroid hormone receptor, a pivotal protein regulating gene expression upon binding with thyroid hormones, plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. A case in point is Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, which completed the submission of a New Drug Application in July 2023, seeking accelerated approval for Resmetirom in the treatment of NASH with liver fibrosis. Resmetirom, offering once-daily oral therapy and liver-directed action, specifically targets hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and hepatocellular injury associated with NASH and liver fibrosis. Notably designated as a Breakthrough Therapy by the FDA, and supported by a comprehensive clinical development program, including Phase 3 trials, Resmetirom showcases significant potential to address unmet medical needs. This advancement positions it as a promising addition to the evolving treatment landscape for NASH with liver fibrosis.

In July 2022, Advanz Pharma Corp. Limited, a prominent UK-based pharmaceutical company, successfully acquired Intercept Pharmaceuticals Inc for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is designed to solidify Advanz Pharma's position in the rare disease treatment sector, specifically through the addition of the ex-U.S. rights to Ocaliva (obeticholic acid), an orphan medicine used for treating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Intercept Pharmaceuticals Inc., a distinguished U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company specializing in innovative therapies for progressive non-viral liver disorders, aligns well with Advanz Pharma's strategic goals in expanding its pharmaceutical portfolio.
