A hemodialysis catheter is a medical device designed to access a patient's bloodstream for hemodialysis treatment. It is inserted into a large vein, typically in the neck or chest, enabling blood to be drawn from the body, filtered through a dialysis machine, and returned. This device is essential for individuals with kidney failure who rely on dialysis to remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins from their blood, helping maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance.
The primary types of hemodialysis catheters include cuffed tunneled catheters, non-cuffed tunneled catheters, and non-tunneled catheters. Cuffed tunneled catheters are intended for long-term use, featuring an under-skin insertion and tunneling to ensure a stable and secure access point for dialysis. Catheters are available in various tip configurations, including step-tip, split-tip, and symmetric designs. They are made from materials such as silicone, carbothane, and polyurethane, and are utilized in a range of settings, including dialysis centers, hospitals, homecare environments, and other healthcare facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The hemodialysis catheter market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides hemodialysis catheter market statistics, including the hemodialysis catheter industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a hemodialysis catheter market share, detailed hemodialysis catheter market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the hemodialysis catheter industry. This hemodialysis catheter 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 hemodialysis catheter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.05 billion in 2024 to $1.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), an increase in demand for dialysis procedures, growth in awareness of renal health, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, a surge in the geriatric population, and enhanced reimbursement policies for dialysis treatments.
The hemodialysis catheter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.49 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising prevalence of chronic kidney diseases, increasing adoption of home hemodialysis, growing demand for antimicrobial and coated catheters, expanding healthcare infrastructure, favorable reimbursement policies, and a surge in minimally invasive procedures for vascular access. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of antimicrobial and heparin coatings, the adoption of bioengineered materials for biocompatibility, improved flow dynamics, tunneled designs for long-term use, enhanced insertion techniques, catheter-lock solutions to prevent thrombosis, and integrated monitoring technologies for real-time feedback.
The forecast of 7.3% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff escalations are likely to burden U.S. nephrology centers by driving up the cost of antimicrobial-coated dialysis catheters and insertion kits sourced from Ireland and Singapore, exacerbating infection risks and elevating renal care expenses. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is expected to drive the growth of the hemodialysis catheters market. CKD refers to the progressive decline in kidney function over time, often caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, and genetic factors. This rise in CKD cases is attributed to aging populations, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and increasing rates of diabetes and hypertension. Hemodialysis catheters play a critical role in providing vascular access for patients requiring long-term renal replacement therapy. For example, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, CKD-related mortality rates rose by 4.2% in 2021 and 6.2% in 2022, with CKD noted in approximately 2 million hospitalizations during 2021-22, accounting for 18% of all hospitalizations in Australia. As CKD becomes more prevalent, the demand for hemodialysis catheters continues to grow.
Companies in the hemodialysis catheters market are advancing technology to improve patient outcomes and device performance. Innovations such as multi-mechanism hemodialysis catheters aim to enhance treatment efficiency, reduce complications such as infections or clotting, and extend device lifespan. In April 2023, Becton, Dickinson and Company received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Aspirex mechanical aspiration thrombectomy system, which features 6- and 8-F catheters designed to treat acute emboli and thrombi in hemodialysis access sites, including arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) and fistulas (AVFs). The Aspirex system integrates clot aspiration, continuous maceration to prevent clogging, and mechanical transportation for effective clot removal, restoring patency in thrombosed AVGs or AVFs and supporting essential hemodialysis for end-stage kidney disease patients.
In June 2023, Merit Medical Systems Inc. acquired the dialysis product portfolio and BioSentry product from AngioDynamics Inc. for $132.5 million. This acquisition allows Merit Medical Systems to expand its portfolio in the dialysis and vascular access markets, strengthening its presence in renal care. AngioDynamics Inc. specializes in vascular access, oncology, and surgical products, and this transaction marks a significant step for Merit Medical in enhancing its offerings in the dialysis sector.
