Global Dialysis Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Dialysis Market size was valued US$ 87.02 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ 194.83 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

In medicine, dialysis is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally. This is referred to as renal replacement therapy.

As dialysis has expanded, its delivery model has changed drastically. Dialysis was once performed exclusively in hospitals. But now hundreds of thousands of patients have their blood cleansed in anonymous storefronts, industrial parks, and homes, and a large majority of the dialysis services delivered globally are expected to turn a profit.

Market Dynamics

The dialysis market growth is driven by several factors including, the rising patients with ESRD condition, increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, technological advancements, and new product launches.

Increasing prevalence of diabetes and rising technological advancements are expected to drive the market growth.

Increasing number of ESRD patients is primarily driving the global dialysis market and is anticipated to remain the same over the forecast period. End-Stage Renal Disease also referred to as kidney failure is the last stage of chronic kidney disease. According to National Kidney Foundation, 10% of the population worldwide is affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), millions die each year, and over 2 million people worldwide currently receive treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive, yet this number may only represent 10% of people who actually need treatment to live.

According to ERCPA, at the end of 2019, there were around 3.7 million patients being treated for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide and expected to increase by approximately 6% each year, which is significantly higher than the population growth rate. Out of those 3.7 million patients, almost 3 million were undergoing dialysis treatment

The increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension is boosting the global dialysis market. High blood glucose, also called blood sugar, can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys and when the blood vessels are damaged, kidneys don't work as well. According to World Health Organization, it is estimated that approximately 40 percent of people worldwide have been affected by blood pressure. 46 percent of adults aged 25 and older are expected to suffer from hypertension over the forecast period.

Shortage of organ donors, technological advancements and rising R&D expenditure for developing new dialysis products are further driving the global dialysis market.

Risks associated with dialysis is expected to hamper the market growth.

The risks and complications associated with dialysis that can be fatal are hampering the market over the forecast period. High cost associated with these treatments is also impacting the market growth. Alternate options available in market such as kidney transplant that are efficient and most opted can restrain the growth of market
