Hepatitis B and Other Viral Hepatitis

Hepatitis B is a contagious and infectious disease of the liver caused by the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), also known as serum hepatitis. The virus is classified under the hepadnaviridae family of viruses.

The global market is projected to display a growth represented by a CAGR of 5.30% by value during 2017 - 2022, chiefly driven by increase in healthcare spending and improving access to diagnosis for Chronic Hepatitis B, increasing risk of severe complications due to Hepatitis B virus.
