Dialysis Catheters Market Size

Dialysis Catheters Market Size

Dialysis Catheters Market size was valued at around USD 1 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at 6.8% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. Growing incidence of chronic kidney diseases and end-stage renal disease coupled with rising number of renal replacement therapy are key factors driving the market demand.

With the increasing incidence of CKD, there is a parallel increase in the number of patients requiring dialysis to manage their condition. For instance, as per the 2021 data reported by U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS), people on dialysis or with a functioning kidney transplant reached approximately 785,000 in the U.S. This indicates a continuous rise in the utilization of renal replacement therapies, such as dialysis, to manage end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and other kidney-related conditions.
 

Additionally, the shortage of kidney doners globally is another key factor anticipated to contribute to the rising demand for dialysis catheters. For example, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the organization responsible for managing the organ transplant system in the U.S. states that there is significant shortage of kidney donors in the country. As of January 2022, UNOS reported that over 90,000 individuals were on the waiting list for kidney transplants in the country, while the number of deceased and living donor kidney transplants performed in 2021 was approximately 24,000. Hence, the shortage of kidney donors globally, coupled with the rise in renal replacement therapies, has led to a growing demand for dialysis catheters catering to the rising number of patients undergoing dialysis treatment worldwide.
 

Dialysis catheters are specialized medical devices used in dialysis procedures, which are employed to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are unable to perform this function adequately. Hemodialysis catheters and peritoneal dialysis catheters are the two types of dialysis catheters considered in the report.
