The Global Market for Kidney Dialysis Equipment and Supplies is Projected to Reach US$18 Billion by 2020

Growing Pool of ESRD Patients Drives the Global Kidney Dialysis Equipment and Supplies Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Kidney Dialysis Equipment and Supplies market. The global market for Kidney Dialysis Equipment and Supplies is projected to reach US$18 billion by 2020, bolstered by the growing number of ESRD patients requiring dialysis therapy, growing awareness about the disease and therapy modalities, improving access to dialysis centers and treatment, and technological advancements.

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), the last stage of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), ranks among the top ten causes of death globally. The global ESRD patient pool is expanding steadily, spurred by the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. Aging population and longer life expectancies are additionally aggravating the prevalence scenario. Given the growing lag between the number of kidney donors and potential kidney transplant recipients, dialysis remains the primary treatment available to patients with renal failure and kidney diseases. Broader medical insurance coverage and favorable reimbursement scenario have hitherto been major market growth catalysts in developed countries, and lack of the same continues to constrain growth in developing economies. However, the kidney dialysis equipment and supplies market in North America and Europe is coming under pressure from tightening healthcare budgets as reflected by the recent changes made by the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in the ESRD payment bundle and the ESRD QIP for 2016, and the reimbursement cuts proposed by the NHS England in its National Tariff Payments System in 2015.

Hemodialysis equipment and supplies dominate the bulk of the kidney dialysis equipment and supplies market in revenue terms, owing to the large number of operational HD centers, high familiarity with the HD procedure among healthcare providers, availability of reimbursement, and availability of a wide range of products that meet the reimbursement criteria of each geographic region. The Peritoneal Dialysis equipment and supplies market is poised to record the fastest CAGR during the analysis period, owing to the convenience of the self-administrable and needle-less procedure, as well as the potential for improved patient outcomes. The growing demand for home-based care and the increasing use of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) is expected to fuel growth in the domestic PD market. Increasing awareness about PD, the rising cost of HD treatment at dialysis facilities, and the development of innovative instruments and protocols are expected to drive the PD market to new heights.

As stated by the new market research report on Kidney Dialysis Equipment and Supplies, Europe and the U.S. are the largest markets worldwide. The dominance of these two markets is supported by the presence of a large number of dialysis patients, high adoption of new technologies, easy access to dialysis facilities, and availability of medical reimbursement. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 9.9% over the analysis period, led by ballooning population, large base of untreated ESRD patients, increasing awareness among patients about various dialysis treatment modalities, rising healthcare spending, and improving access to dialysis centers.
