Dialysis: market research reports

With a growing amount of patients requiring treatment, the dialysis industry enjoys a unique place in the healthcare sector. The industry encompasses two very lucrative segments -- the medical device industry (dialysis products and supplies segment) and the healthcare services industry (dialysis services segment).The dialysis products and services market is a highly fragmented market. Global players account for only a fraction of the total market and the rest is occupied by the regional companies.

Fresenius is the leader in this market and will continue to dominate the scene owing to its vast product line and vertical integration into the lucrative dialysis care segment. The company’s global presence will continue to provide growth for the company despite changing market conditions in leading markets such as the United States.

Strategies have helped companies succeed in this market. Companies that have integrated vertically into setting up dialysis centers have made a substantial leap in terms of revenues and profits. Also, owning dialysis centers/clinics has helped companies to increase their clout over dialysis product sales as dialysis clinics form the major customers for these companies.
