Renal Disease Market Trends

• Increasing Cases of Diabetes and Hypertension to Boost the Market Growth

Diabetes, hypertension, and kidney failure are three conditions that are closely related and impact each other. The millions of minuscule filtering units within each kidney are damaged over time by excessive amounts of sugar in the blood, leading to kidney failure. According to a report by The International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in March 2020, 13.3% of the total population of the US approximately around 30,987,900 people are diabetic. IDF also predicts that by 2045, the North America and Caribbean (NAC) region will have 63 million diabetic people in the region.

Furthermore, hypertension also negatively impacts proper kidney functioning. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can narrow, weaken, or stiffen the arteries surrounding the kidneys over time. These arteries cannot carry enough oxygenated blood to the renal tissue due to their impairment causing kidney tissue damage. According to the National Kidney Foundation, uncontrolled high blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the US. In addition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hypertension is a primary cause of stroke, heart attack, and renal failure. Hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and heart failure were responsible for 64 % of Covid-19 hospitalizations during the pandemic. Obese people are also more likely to develop hypertension. Therefore, increasing diabetes and hypertension cases across the globe increases the demand for dialysis, anti-hypertensive & diabetes medication, and Kidney transplantation leading to the growth of the renal disease market.

Renal Disease Market Segment Insights

Renal Disease, Disease Type Insights

The renal disease market segmentation, based on disease type, includes chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease. The chronic kidney disease type segment held the majority share in 2022 in respect to the renal disease market revenue. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), also called chronic kidney failure, is characterized by loss of kidney function over time. The main risk factors for CKD are high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. According to the National Kidney Foundation, the treatment of chronic kidney disease is likely to exceed USD 48 billion per year in the US.

May 2021 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved AstraZeneca’s (UK) Farxiga (dapagliflozin) for treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients who are at risk of progression with and without type-2 diabetes

Renal Disease Treatment Insights

The renal disease market segmentation, based on treatment, includes dialysis, medication, and kidney transplantation. The dialysis segment dominated the market in 2022 in respect to the  renal disease market. Dialysis is the removal of waste products and excess fluid such as water, solutes, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly. It is generally performed when 85-90% of kidney function is gone, GFR falls below 15, and kidneys no longer work well enough to sustain a patient’s body. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, in 2019, more than 661,000 Americans had kidney failure, with 468,000 of those individuals on dialysis. The dialysis segment involves antihypertensive drugs, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), potassium binders, and phosphate binders. Antihypertensive drugs are used to lower the high blood pressure of the patient.

May 2021 Teva Pharmaceuticals (Israel) launched the first available generic version, in the US, of THIOLA (tiopronin) tablets, indicated, in combination with high fluid intake, alkali, and diet modification, for the prevention of cystine (kidney) stone formation in adults and pediatric patients 9 years of age and older with severe homozygous cystinuria, who are not responsive to these measures alone

Renal Disease End User Insights

The renal disease market segmentation, based on indication includes dialysis centers, hospital & clinics, and research and academic institutes. The dialysis centers held the largest market share in 2022 with respect to the renal disease market revenue. Dialysis centers provide dialysis for patients with chronic kidney failure. In dialysis centers, trained nurses and technicians perform the procedure on patients with renal diseases.

December 2020 GlaxoSmithKline plc (UK) received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for BENLYSTA (belimumab) for the treatment of adult patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) who are receiving standard therapy

Europe renal disease market accounts for the second-largest market share due to the increasing healthcare spending, various government initiatives & awareness campaigns regarding CKD, availability of technologically advanced products, and the presence of newly established state-of-the-art healthcare facilities in the region. Further, the Germany renal disease market held the largest market share, and the UK renal disease market was the fastest-growing market in the European region.

The Asia-Pacific renal disease market is expected to grow at a significant growth rate during the forecast period. This is due to the factors, such as growth in the aging population, various lifestyle stress, a large population base, improving quality of diagnosis, and growing patient affordability are factors expected to boost the market over the forecast period. Moreover, China renal disease market held the largest market share, and the India renal disease market was the fastest-growing market in the Asia-Pacific region. Hence, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to register the highest growth rate over the forecast period from 2023–2030.

Renal Disease Key Market Players & Competitive Insights
