Kidney fibrosis treatment refers to therapeutic approaches aimed at slowing, halting, or reversing the progression of fibrosis in the kidneys. Kidney fibrosis is the excessive buildup of extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen, leading to scarring and a decline in kidney function, commonly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The primary treatment types for kidney fibrosis include angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), pirfenidone, renin inhibitors, vasopeptidase inhibitors, and others. ACE inhibitors help lower blood pressure and reduce heart strain by blocking the enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II. Diagnosis involves blood and urine tests, imaging scans, and kidney biopsies. These treatments are used for chronic kidney diseases, kidney cancer, and other related conditions. They are applied by various end-users, such as clinics, research centers, and hospitals.
The kidney fibrosis treatment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides kidney fibrosis treatment market statistics, including the kidney fibrosis treatment industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with the kidney fibrosis treatment market share, detailed kidney fibrosis treatment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the kidney fibrosis treatment market. This kidney fibrosis treatment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The kidney fibrosis treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.93 billion in 2024 to $7.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as growing research and development investments in fibrosis-targeting therapies, increasing government funding for kidney disease management initiatives, rising patient awareness of kidney transplantation and fibrosis treatment options, the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, and the growing prevalence of aging populations.
The kidney fibrosis treatment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by factors including the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney diseases, rising demand for advanced therapies for renal fibrosis management, growing awareness of early-stage kidney fibrosis detection, the rising adoption of personalized medicine in kidney disease treatment, and the increasing incidence of diabetes and hypertension. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in early detection and diagnostic tools, progress in gene therapy, the integration of technology in telemedicine and remote monitoring, advancements in stem cell therapies, and innovations in drug delivery systems.
The growing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is expected to drive the growth of the kidney fibrosis treatment market in the coming years. CKD is a progressive loss of kidney function, often caused by conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, which lead to the accumulation of waste products in the body. The increasing rates of diabetes, which damages kidney blood vessels and impairs their ability to filter waste, are a key factor contributing to the rise in CKD. Kidney fibrosis treatments target kidney tissue scarring, reduce inflammation, and slow the progression of kidney damage, ultimately helping to preserve kidney function. For example, in May 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that around 14% of U.S. adults, or approximately 35.5 million people, are living with chronic kidney disease. As a result, the growing prevalence of CKD is driving the expansion of the kidney fibrosis treatment market.
The increasing number of clinical trials is also expected to fuel the growth of the kidney fibrosis treatment market. Clinical trials are research studies conducted on humans to assess the safety, effectiveness, and potential side effects of medical treatments or interventions. The rising demand for personalized and innovative therapies, which require extensive testing to ensure safety and efficacy, is driving the increase in clinical trials. Kidney fibrosis treatments play a crucial role in these trials by offering a focused area for testing novel anti-fibrotic therapies, enabling researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs in slowing or even reversing kidney damage. For instance, in November 2023, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry reported a 15% increase in annual recruitment to clinical trials in the UK, rising from 36,722 participants in 2021-22 to 42,088 in 2022-23. As clinical trials continue to grow, so too does the demand for kidney fibrosis treatments.
In May 2023, Chinook Therapeutics, a U.S.-based biotechnology company, partnered with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, another U.S.-based biotech firm, to develop a precision therapy for chronic kidney disease. This collaboration aims to create an antisense oligonucleotide therapy targeting the genetic causes of rare, severe forms of CKD, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing the need for dialysis or kidney transplants. Ionis Pharmaceuticals is also developing therapies for kidney fibrosis, including IONIS-FB-LRx, a treatment for IgA nephropathy, further highlighting the push toward innovative treatments for CKD.
