he economic implications of liver disease are staggering, and this is reflected in the Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis Biomarkers Market Size. As of 2024, the market was valued at approximately USD 1.6 billion, but this is considered just the "tip of the iceberg." As regulatory bodies like the FDA and EMA begin to accept biomarkers as "primary endpoints" in clinical trials, the financial value of these tools will skyrocket.

For hospitals and diagnostic centers, investing in NASH biomarkers is becoming a high-ROI strategy. By providing non-invasive staging, they can attract a higher volume of patients who are hesitant to undergo surgery. Furthermore, the ability to offer "comprehensive liver health reports" is becoming a competitive differentiator for private diagnostic laboratories.

FAQ

• Why is the market size growing so quickly? Because millions of people currently have "silent" NASH and will need testing as new drugs are approved and awareness increases.

• Are these tests covered by insurance? Standard markers like ALT/AST and FIB-4 are widely covered. Newer, specialized panels like ELF or FibroScan are increasingly covered by major insurers.
