7MM Chronic Hepatitis B Therapeutics Market Drug Forecast and Market Analysis Report 2024-2034: Addressing Unmet Needs, Late-Stage Pipelines and Functional Cure Therapies Drive Growth

globenewswire.com

Dublin, Jan. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Chronic Hepatitis B Therapeutics: Seven-Market Drug Forecast and Market Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report provides an in-depth assessment of the CHB therapeutics market including disease overview, epidemiology, disease management, current treatment options, unmet needs and opportunities, R&D strategies, pipeline assessment, current and future players, and market outlook.

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a member of the Orthohepadnavirus genus, from the Hepadnaviridae family. HBV is transmitted through infected blood and body fluids, most commonly through unprotected sex and contaminated needles. HBV can also be transmitted from mother to child at birth, which is particularly common within highly endemic regions.

Acute hepatitis B is a short-term illness that occurs within the first six months following HBV exposure. However, if the body fails to clear the virus after six months, chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection occurs. CHB is specifically defined by the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in a patient's serum for at least six months. CHB is a lifelong disease for most patients, who are then at a high risk of developing life-threatening complications including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The analyst forecasts the global CHB marketplace-which, for the purposes of this report, comprises seven major pharmaceutical markets (7MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan)-to experience growth during the forecast period. This growth will be driven primarily by the highly anticipated arrival of CHB functional cures, which include GSK's toll like receptor 8 agonist, bepirovirsen; Gilead Sciences' toll like receptor 8 agonist, selgantolimod; Aligos Therapeutics' capsid protein inhibitor, ALG-000184; and Arbutus Biopharma's HBV surface antigen inhibitor, imdusiran. Nevertheless, patent expiries, generic erosion across the 7MM, and reductions in the diagnosed prevalent cases are expected to curtail market growth.
