Peritoneal dialysis market analysis

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global peritoneal dialysis market to grow at a CAGR of more than 5% between 2016 and 2020.  Peritoneal dialysis as home dialysis is gaining huge traction in the market as kidney patients find PD an easy method to perform at home. Several research studies indicate that home PD provides greater flexibility and time management to patients, besides psychological benefits. Also, the technical simplicity of PD allows patients to perform dialysis while traveling. It offers increased autonomy and independence to individuals, which has led to the higher utilization rate of home PD than facility HD.

Peritoneal dialysis market growth drivers

The growing requirement for PD and home dialysis has resulted in the development of new PD machines such as automated PD and continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD). For instance, one of the recent APD systems available from Baxter Healthcare is the HomeChoice Pro with PD software. This system can record information on the home dialysis treatment, which can help identify skipped treatment days, reduce the treatment time, and manually modify the therapy parameters. The data card can calculate and store information related to filtration levels; total volume dialyzed total fluid drain duration and the number of dialysis cycles per day up to 60 days. These advances have led to an increase in the adoption of PD machines, and people are increasingly adopting PD systems for home-based therapies.

Peritoneal dialysis market based on geography

Geographically, the global peritoneal dialysis market was led by the Americas in 2015, where the US was the largest contributor to this region. One of the major factors contributing to the growth of the market is the rise in the aging population that has led to an increase in the prevalence of infectious diseases, subsequently leading to chronic renal disorders. The PD service providers operating in the US are implementing strategies such as product innovation and product line extension to increase their market share. Moreover, the strong presence of several vendors and their wide distribution networks in the US have also played a crucial role in augmenting the demand for peritoneal dialysis systems in the Americas.
