Global Portable Hemodialysis Market - 2024 - 2031

Report Overview

The Global Portable Hemodialysis Market reached US$ 20.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 35.38 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Hemodialysis is a treatment that replaces the work of one's kidneys to clear wastes and extra fluid from the blood. This is done using a special filter called a dialyzer or artificial kidney. The blood travels through plastic tubing to the dialyzer, where it is cleaned and then returned to the patient. At the beginning of each treatment, two needles are placed into the access. These needles are connected to the plastic tubing that carries the blood to the dialyzer. Only a small amount of blood is out from the body at any one time. The dialysis machine pumps the blood through the dialysis system and controls the treatment time, temperature, fluid removal, and pressure.

A portable hemodialysis device is a medical device, which can be moved from one location to another location easily so that it is beneficial for the patient and the device can be carried to the patient's location. Nowadays, kidney diseases and disorders are increasing at an alarming rate which is increasing the need for portable hemodialysis products.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disorders

The demand for the global portable hemodialysis market is driven by multiple factors. The rising prevalence of chronic kidney disorders propels the market growth.

Furthermore, the demand for treatment will be fueled by the increase in technological advancements. For instance, according to nih.gov, chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition that affects >10% of the general population worldwide, amounting to >800 million individuals. Chronic kidney disease is more prevalent in older individuals, women, racial minorities, and people experiencing diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Chronic kidney disease represents an especially large burden in low- and middle-income countries, which are least equipped to deal with its consequences.

For instance, according to the National Kidney Foundation, over 2 million people worldwide currently receive treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive, yet this number may only represent 10% of people who actually need treatment to live. It is estimated that the number of cases of kidney failure will increase disproportionately in developing countries, such as China and India, where the number of elderly people is increasing. Of the 2 million people who receive treatment for kidney failure, the majority are treated in only five countries - the United States, Japan, Germany, Brazil, and Italy. These five countries represent only 12% of the world's population. Only 20% are treated in about 100 developing countries that make up over 50% of the world population.

Restraints

Factors such as complications linked with the procedure and lack of awareness among people are expected to hamper the market. According to statistics from the National Kidney Foundation in the United States, 10 percent of the world's population is affected by chronic kidney disease and it is the 12th most common cause of death. Millions die annually due to a lack of access to affordable treatment.

Market Segment Analysis

The global portable hemodialysis market is segmented based on product, pumping system, end-user, and region.

The segment portable devices accounted for approximately 49.7% of the global portable hemodialysis market share

The portable devices segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. In this segment, the technological advancements, and rising funds for private manufacturers for device development would drive this market.

For instance, in March 2024, Bussum, the Netherlands-based Nextkidney, a medtech company, announced that it has developed the world's first portable hemodialysis device, Neokidney. According to the Dutch company, Neokidney is in the final development phase and is expected to launch in the Netherlands by 2024.

Moreover, in August 2024, Synopex, a medical device manufacturer, obtained marketing authorization from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for the nation's first independently developed continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) device for critical care patients.

Market Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 42.3% of the global portable hemodialysis market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The rising incidence of chronic kidney diseases, technological advancements, and increase in fund allotment in this region, help to propel the market.

For instance, according to American Kidney Fund, An estimated 35.5 million Americans have kidney disease. About 808,000 Americans are living with kidney failure. More than 557,000 Americans are on dialysis. Kidney disease is growing at an alarming rate. It currently affects more than 1 in 7 (or 14%) of American adults, with people of color at greater risk for kidney failure. There were about 135,000 Americans newly diagnosed with kidney failure in 2021. 9 out of 10 people with kidney disease are unaware they have it, and 1 in 3 of those with severely reduced kidney function (but not yet on dialysis) are unaware they have kidney disease.

Moreover, in September 2023, AWAK Technologies obtained more than $20m in Series B funding for the US-based pivotal trial of its wearable dialysis device. AWAK PD, the ultra-portable peritoneal dialysis (PD) system allows kidney disease patients to undergo dialysis at home and anywhere on the go. The company will use the proceeds for various crucial initiatives to conclude its ongoing human pre-pivotal clinical study with Singapore General Hospital. The funding will also help the company improve the ultraportable PD device for the final pivotal trial in the US, anticipated to begin in 2025.
