Dialysis Concentrate Market Analysis
The dialysis concentrate market is projected to grow with a CAGR of 5.73% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027).
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted the care and results of dialysis patients worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 infection and mortality are more common among dialysis patients, and many have experienced psychological anguish and delayed or poor care. According to an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in May 2022, titled "COVID-19 in Dialysis: Clinical Impact, Immune Response, Prevention and Treatment", 15% to 20% excess mortality rates have been observed in patients on dialysis in the United States, in early 2020. According to a research article published in July 2020 titled 'COVID-19 and the Kidneys: An Update' published in Frontiers in Medicine Journal, the study results indicate that patients with kidney disease could represent a risk factor in elderly patients for a more severe disease course. Furthermore, a research article published by Hemodialysis International Journal in November 2020, titled 'The Impact of COVID19 in Hemodialysis Patients: Experience in a Hospital Dialysis Unit', found that COVID-19 has shown a high incidence and mortality rate in hemodialysis patients. Thus, early preventive measures against COVID-19 could decrease the risk of spreading the disease in vulnerable patients.
The factors driving the growth of the dialysis concentrate market are the rising prevalence of kidney diseases such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), acute kidney injury (AKI), shortage of organ donors, risks associated with transplants, technological advancements, and initiatives by the leading players to introduce advanced products and services. For instance, according to a research article published in September 2020, titled 'Association of Age With Risk of Kidney Failure in Adults With Stage IV Chronic Kidney Disease in Canada', the study results found that the incidence rate of stage IV chronic kidney disease increased with age. For those 75 years and older, the risk of death was much higher than that of kidney failure. The high burden of chronic kidney disease is expected to boost the market, increasing the demand for renal dialysis and further increasing the demand for dialysis concentrates in the coming years. According to the study published by PlosOne, in February 2022, titled "Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease Stages 3-5 in Low-and Middle-Income Countries in Asia: A Systematic Review and Metanalysis", it has been found that the prevalence of chronic kidney disease stages 3-5 in low-and middle-income countries was 11.2%. In addition, the prevalence rate for chronic kidney disease in east Asia was 12%, 8.6% in east Asia, 12% in south-east Asia, 13.1% in western Asia, and 13.5% in South Asia.
Moreover, the mortality rate associated with chronic kidney diseases is increasing. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 2021, it has been found that Mississippi had the highest mortality rate for chronic kidney disease, in 2020, in the United States.
However, the complications in dialysis treatment and reimbursement policy issues in growing countries could stifle the dialysis concentrate market's growth.
