Dialysis catheters are medical devices designed to access the bloodstream for dialysis treatments in patients with kidney failure. They are inserted into a major vein to facilitate blood flow into and out of the dialysis machine, which is crucial for both hemodialysis and apheresis procedures.
The main types of dialysis catheters include tunneled catheters, non-tunneled catheters, step-tip catheters, split-tip catheters, and symmetric catheters. Tunneled catheters are long-term vascular access devices that are inserted under the skin and tunneled to a central vein, making them suitable for prolonged use, such as for dialysis or chemotherapy. These catheters are typically made from materials such as silicone and polyurethane and are used in applications such as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. They are utilized in various settings, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, homecare settings, and more.
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 increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The dialysis catheters market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dialysis catheters market statistics, including the dialysis catheters industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a dialysis catheters market share, detailed dialysis catheters market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dialysis catheters industry. This dialysis catheters 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 dialysis catheters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.87 billion in 2024 to $0.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness, the rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease, the aging population, enhanced awareness, and a growing preference for home dialysis options.
The dialysis catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.16 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing number of dialysis centers, healthcare infrastructure development, improved catheter designs, increasing incidence of diabetes and hypertension, better patient comfort, and lower complication rates. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, stringent regulatory requirements and quality standards, integration of smart technologies, patient-centric designs, and increased focus on patient education.
The forecast of 6.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on antimicrobial cuff technologies and split-tip designs, sourced from key regions such as Italy and Ireland, which could lead to compromised vascular access for renal patients and higher treatment 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 rising incidence of chronic kidney disorders is anticipated to drive growth in the dialysis catheter market. Chronic kidney disorders involve the progressive loss of kidney function, impairing the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. Factors contributing to the increase in chronic kidney disorders include obesity, poor lifestyle choices, genetic predisposition, infections, and inflammatory diseases. Dialysis catheters are crucial for managing these conditions by enabling efficient and regular waste removal from the bloodstream. For instance, in June 2023, a report from Kidney Research UK, a UK-based non-profit organization, indicated that approximately 7.2 million people in the UK are living with chronic kidney disease, representing over 10% of the population. Of these, 3.25 million are in advanced stages, and 3.9 million are in early stages. By 2033, the number of individuals affected is projected to increase to 7.61 million. This growing prevalence of chronic kidney disorders is expected to boost the demand for dialysis catheters.
Leading companies in the dialysis catheter market are focusing on product innovations, such as high-pressure percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) catheters, to improve treatment effectiveness, reduce complications, and enhance patient outcomes. High-pressure PTA catheters are specialized devices used in minimally invasive procedures to widen narrowed or blocked blood vessels, commonly in dialysis patients, by inflating a balloon at the blockage site to restore normal blood flow. For example, in March 2022, Nipro Medical Corporation, a Japan-based medical device manufacturer, introduced the second-generation Cronus HP PTA balloon catheter to the U.S. market. This innovative product serves as a key connection between the company's renal and vascular divisions. The Cronus HP is designed for PTA in various arteries, including popliteal, femoral, iliac, and renal arteries, as well as for treating arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), which are essential for hemodialysis patients.
In June 2023, Merit Medical Systems Inc., a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, acquired AngioDynamics' dialysis product portfolio and biosentry tract sealant system biopsy product for $100 million. This acquisition strengthens Merit Medical's presence in the dialysis and biopsy markets by adding several hemodialysis catheter brands, including DuraFlow, DuraMax, Evenmore, Schon XL, Trio-CT, and Vaxel Plus. AngioDynamics is a US-based manufacturer specializing in chronic hemodialysis catheters.
