The Global Hemodialysis Catheters Market size accounted for USD 787 Million in 2021 and is estimated to reach the market value of USD 1,214 Million by 2030.

According to our hemodialysis catheters industry analysis, the rising prevalence of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) is the primary factor boosting the market growth. On the other hand, the increasing number of renal kidney replacement therapy is observed to be the recent hemodialysis catheters market trend that is fueling the demand over the years. Furthermore, the hemodialysis catheters market forecast witnessed the CAGR to grow with 5.1% from 2022 to 2030. Hemodialysis catheters are single/double/multiple lumen catheters that provide momentary vascular access for hemodialysis unless permanent access can be obtained or some other type of hemodialysis is substituted.

The worldwide hemodialysis catheter market growth is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disorders. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been identified as a major public health issue worldwide. According to the CDC, the estimated prevalence of chronic kidney disease is 13.4%, with an estimated 5 to 7 million patients requiring renal replacement therapy globally. CKD has a direct impact on the global burden of morbidity and mortality due to its effect on cardiovascular risk and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The global rise in this disease is being driven primarily by an increase in the incidence of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and aging.

Similarly, the rising incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is another factor boosting the hemodialysis catheters market share. For instance, according to the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), the number of people with incident end-stage renal disease in 2018 was 131,636, representing a 2.3% increase over 2017. For the fourth year in a row, the number of patients with incident ESRD who started in-center hemodialysis ranged from 1,11,000 to 1,13,000. In the meantime, the number of patients starting peritoneal dialysis and receiving a preemptive transplant hit a record level of 18,631.

Additionally, the increasing cases of renal replacement therapy and shortage of kidney donors are expected to fuel the industry demand. However, the complication associated with the procedure is expected to create hurdles for growth in the market. Then again, a lack of awareness about kidney-related disorders especially in emerging nations could also limit the market from growing. Furthermore, surging technological advancements in the hemodialysis catheters and new product launches by key players might create numerous growth opportunities for the market during the forecast timeframe from 2022 to 2030. For instance, in December 2020 – Medtronic launched a dialysis machine for neonatal and pediatrics in the United States. This launch assisted the company in expanding its market position in the renal segment. Finally, severe COVID-19 infection can cause acute kidney injury, necessitating hemodialysis and thus the use of hemodialysis catheters was maintained during the pandemic.

Hemodialysis Catheters Market Segmentation

The global hemodialysis catheters market segmentation is based on catheters type, product, tip configuration, material, lumen, and region.

Market by Catheters Type

• Short-Term Hemodialysis Catheters
• Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheters

Based on catheter type, the short-term hemodialysis catheters segment generated the largest hemodialysis catheters market value in 2021. The adoption of short-term hemodialysis catheters is increasing significantly, which can be attributed to an increase in the incidence of acute kidney disorders caused by infection, heart failure, kidney failure, liver failure, severe blood loss, and other factors. Furthermore, the numerous benefits of using short-term hemodialysis catheters, such as ease of insertion in unstable patients, fewer complications, extended functional life, and patient comfort, are also expected to drive the demand.

Market by Product

• Tunneled Catheters
  • Cuffed Tunneled Catheters
  • Non-Cuffed Tunneled Catheters
• Non-Tunneled Catheters

The tunneled catheters gathered a significant amount of industry share in the product type segment from 2022 to 2030. The high growth in the segment is attributed to the increasing adoption of tunneled catheters in hemodialysis processes. In addition, the segment gained a significant market share because tunneled hemodialysis catheters have a lower infection rate when compared to non-tunneled hemodialysis catheters. Moreover, tunneled hemodialysis catheters are generally used for intermediate or long-term vascular access to hemodialysis.

Market by Tip Configuration

• Step-Tip Catheters
• Split-Tip Catheters (OSA)
• Symmetric Catheters
• Others

Among all the tip configurations, the step-tip catheters segment achieved a considerable market share in 2021. The segment's dominance is due to step-tip catheters' superior flow rates when compared to other tip configurations. With less tip movement and reduced recirculation rates, step-tip catheters ensure a uniform fluid flow pattern during hemodialysis. Furthermore, hemodialysis catheters can lead to complications like thrombosis, dialysate recirculation, and catheter-related infections. Therefore, step-tip catheters have been developed and are extensively used to address these issues.

Market by Material

• Polyurethane
• Silicone

According to our analysis, the polyurethane material acquired the maximum market share in 2021. The market for this segment is growing due to its rising preference for hemodialysis catheters. Polyurethane is preferred over silicone because it offers advantages such as being stronger than silicone, having thinner catheter walls, and having a larger internal diameter than a silicone catheter of the same size. Furthermore, polyurethane is a thermoplastic, which means it loosens up when warmed (by the body or blood) and tightens when cooled.

Market by Lumen

• Single-Lumen
• Double-Lumen
• Triple-Lumen

Based on them, double-lumen catheters occupied a substantial market share. Double-lumen allows the injection of two incompatible fluids or medications at the same time. It has several benefits, such as the ideal balance of flexibility and durability, which makes it a popular lumen type for hemodialysis procedures. Meanwhile, the triple-lumen also called multiple-lumen is expected to witness a noteworthy growth rate in the coming years.
