South Africa Hemodialysis & Peritoneal Dialysis Market Worth $847.2 Million By 2025

South Africa hemodialysis & peritoneal dialysis market size was valued at USD 455.2 million in 2016 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.1%

The South Africa Hemodialysis & Peritoneal Dialysis Market size is anticipated to reach USD 847.2 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is likely to drive the market to register a 7.1% CAGR during the forecast period.

Sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, alcohol consumption, and an increase in the incidence of diabetes and high blood pressure are driving the occurrence of ESRD, which is expected to support market growth. According to data by the Clinical Kidney Journal, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Africa was about 13.9% in 2016. An article published in the NCBI finds that the most common cause of ESRD is an increase in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes.

Dialysis and transplantation are two options available to patients suffering from severe kidney damage or kidney failure. The low availability of kidney donors is propelling the demand for dialysis. According to statistics provided by eNews Channel Africa, in 2016, about 2,096 patients were awaiting kidney transplants at Gauteng, a northern province of South Africa. This scenario is expected to remain unchanged over the forecast period, thereby acting as a major driver for the hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis market.
