Dialysis Market Trends

Dialysis Market Driver

High Incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease 

• Factors such as poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyles, diabetes, and hypertension have resulted in a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) around the world. Progression of CKD to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) leads to patients needing dialysis or complete kidney transplantation thereby favoring dialysis market growth as well.  

Expanding Senescent Population Base 

• Elder people are more susceptible to chronic kidney diseases and often require dialysis due to complications of their health conditions. Growing aging population in countries such as Japan, India, Italy, and China is forecasted to bolster the demand for dialysis services and products over the coming years. 

Dialysis Market Restraints 

High Costs of Dialysis 

• Dialysis treatments are highly expensive owing to the use of advanced machines and dialyzers along with skilled professionals. All of these factors add up to the overall cost of dialysis thereby making it inaccessible to people with limited spending potential, especially in low to middle income countries going forward.  

Risk of Complications and Infections 

• Long-term dialysis treatment often involves the risk of infections and complications due to multiple factors. Growing awareness regarding these issues and complications discourages people from opting for dialysis and resulting in slowed dialysis market growth in the future. Stringent guidelines and measures should be implemented to reduce the risk of infections and complications.
