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.
Tariffs are impacting the dialysis catheters market by increasing the cost of imported medical-grade polymers, silicone, and precision manufacturing components. These effects are most evident across tunneled and split-tip catheter segments, particularly in regions dependent on cross-border medical device supply chains such as Asia-Pacific and Europe. Higher tariffs have slightly raised procurement costs for hospitals and dialysis centers. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging local manufacturing, supplier diversification, and regional production investments, supporting long-term supply chain stability.
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 dialysis catheters industry 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 scenario of the industry.
The dialysis catheters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.92 billion in 2025 to $0.97 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease, growth in hemodialysis patient population, expansion of hospital dialysis centers, rising incidence of diabetes and hypertension, improved access to renal care services.
The dialysis catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing aging population, increasing adoption of home dialysis therapies, rising demand for reliable long-term dialysis access, expansion of ambulatory dialysis services, increasing healthcare expenditure on renal care. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for long-term vascular access solutions, growing preference for tunneled dialysis catheters, increasing focus on infection prevention and patient safety, shift toward home-based dialysis access, rising use of double-lumen and multi-lumen catheters.
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.
Major companies operating in the dialysis catheters market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as antimicrobial catheter lock solutions to reduce infection risks, extend catheter lifespan, and improve patient outcomes. An antimicrobial catheter lock solution is a specialized fluid used to fill and maintain dialysis catheters when not in use, containing agents like taurolidine or antibiotics to prevent bacterial and fungal infections while keeping the catheter patent. For example, in November 2023, CorMedix Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, received FDA approval for DefenCath (taurolidine and heparin) catheter lock solution (CLS), designed to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in adult patients with kidney failure undergoing chronic hemodialysis via a central venous catheter (CVC).
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.
