Abstract
Chronic kidney failure or end stage renal failure can be treated through two
ways, a kidney transplant or dialysis. Dialysis is the artificial removal of
the toxins and waste body fluids. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are two
of the most common treatments for dialysis. Hemodialysis which is normally
performed in the clinics is the most preferred treatment for dialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis remains the lesser preferred treatment. Peritoneal
dialysis is a form of home based dialysis treatment. The home based dialysis
consists of peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis, which is separate from
the hemodialysis performed at the clinics. The home dialysis which is still a
niche segment in dialysis is getting attention and experiencing growth, due to
the technological advances and the convenience factor associated with it.
The dialysis market consists of the dialysis services and dialysis products.
The services segment constitutes the major portion of the market. Dialysis
services are mainly provided through the clinics and the ownership aspect of
these clinics is an interesting factor. The ownership structure varies
significantly among the government-owned and privately-owned clinics within
different countries.
The dialysis providers rely on the government and the private payers for
reimbursement of the services and the products they provide to the patients.
There has been progress towards the bundling of services and products and
reimbursing the amount on the basis of a composite rate.
This report is a detailed analysis of the global dialysis market, as a whole
and its various segments. The market size and growth of the dialysis market is
discussed alongwith the respective sizes of the services and products segment.
The regional breakdown of the market and its segments is also highlighted.
Various growth drivers of the industry have been discussed. The key players
and their market presence within the dialysis market is also highlighted
