Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a chronic illness that induces significant and sometimes fatal liver fibrosis; it is one of the primary causes of liver transplantation. In China, where the prevalence of NASH is the highest in the world, liver disease has become a significant public health concern as a result of a steep increase in the prevalence of diabetes and obesity. As of today, only off-label generic drugs are prescribed to treat the condition, but we anticipate the launch and gradual but substantial uptake of novel agents—semaglutide (Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy), denifanstat (TVB-2640) (Sagimet Biosciences), and lanifibranor (Inventiva Pharma)—during the forecast period. In view of the significant unmet medical need and the absence of approved disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for NASH, China presents significant market potential for drug developers.
