Rising Number of Dialysis Centers Will Drive Renal Dialysis Machines Market in United States

摘要

An increasing number of private and publicly owned dialysis centers contribute to the expansion of the renal dialysis machines market. This market is expected to reach US $2.5bn by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 3.2%, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. Tina Deng, a medical devices analyst at GlobalData, says: "Data from Japan and US renal registries showed a positive correlation between the number of dialysis patients and dialysis centers. The more dialysis centers were opened, the more patients were treated, and the more equipment is consumed," She adds: "By combining the manufacture of machines with the running of clinics, the dialysis giant Fresenius has come to dominate both markets with a one-stop shopping model. Although a clinic run by Fresenius does not necessarily purchase dialysis products manufactured only by Fresenius, it will choose its own company when deciding among homogeneous products with the same cost. In addition, the company can pursue a consolidation strategy that allows it to negotiate a better deal and spread fixed costs over a great number of centers."
