Eastern Europe Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook (2021-2031)
Description
The Eastern Europe dialysis equipment market is projected to reach USD 1,388.2 million by 2031, up from USD 927.9 million in 2024. The estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2031 is 5.9%.
Executive Summary and Market Analysis:
The dialysis equipment market in Eastern Europe is experiencing significant growth, primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of kidney disease. The median prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Eastern and Central Europe is 12.8%, surpassing the global median. The median prevalence of treated kidney failure stands at 873.5 per million population (pmp). Both CKD and kidney failure incidences are on the rise in the region; for instance, prevalence rates of CKD vary from 9.3% in Cyprus to 16.8% in Estonia. Additionally, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributed to CKD show a median of 1.3%. There is a growing recognition of the importance of early diagnosis and effective management of kidney disease to prevent patients from progressing to dialysis. A trend toward patient-centered home dialysis options is emerging, though these are generally less popular compared to Western Europe due to logistical challenges and patient preferences. International collaborations and investments continue to provide opportunities for modernizing dialysis services and training healthcare providers in the region.
Market Segmentation
Analysis:
The dialysis equipment market is segmented by product, application, and end-user:
By Product: The market comprises hemodialysis equipment, peritoneal dialysis equipment, concentrates and solutions, catheters and tubings, and other products. The hemodialysis equipment segment dominated the market in 2024.
By Application: It is further divided into hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, with the hemodialysis segment holding the largest market share in 2024.
By End User: The market is categorized into in-center dialysis settings and home care settings, with in-center dialysis settings capturing the largest share in 2024.
Market Outlook:
The Eastern Europe dialysis equipment market is divided into several countries: the Russian Federation, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, and Greece. The kidney care landscape in Eastern Europe is evolving, especially in countries previously under Soviet control, as they gradually enhance their healthcare delivery systems, including renal care. Some nations have developed robust health systems offering care comparable to that of Western Europe. In contrast, others still face challenges related to funding, access to new technology, and the availability of trained nephrologists. The market across Eastern Europe varies significantly in terms of needs and infrastructure. While countries like Turkey and Poland exhibit rapid growth, Ukraine continues to struggle with challenges that may impede expansion. Continued investment in infrastructure and technology, including equipment, is essential to meet the rising demand for dialysis services in the region.
Country Insights:
The dialysis equipment market in Russia is expanding due to an aging population and an increasing incidence of chronic kidney disease. The country boasts a well-established healthcare infrastructure, with numerous dialysis centers in major metropolitan areas. However, disparities in healthcare access at the regional level and the need to modernize existing equipment remain challenges. The Russian government plans to invest in expanding the country's dialysis capacity to accommodate growing needs.
Turkey has a substantial dialysis network characterized by a high number of dialysis centers and practitioners per capita. Both the public and private sectors contribute to the development of dialysis facilities nationwide, resulting in the successful delivery of quality kidney services. Recent data indicates a rise in the number of patients receiving dialysis treatment, reflecting the success of these initiatives.
In Greece, the dialysis equipment market has remained stable, supported by a well-established healthcare system. The country has sufficient infrastructure, including a number of dialysis centers that meet the needs of the population.
Company Profiles:
Key players in the Eastern Europe dialysis equipment market include Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co KGaA, Baxter International Inc., B. Braun SE, Nipro Corp, Medtronic Plc, Nikkiso Co Ltd, and Teleflex, Asahi Kasei Medical Co., Ltd.; Terumo Corp, and DaVita Inc.
Country Insights
The European dialysis equipment market is categorized by region, which includes Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Italy, the Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland, Turkiye, Poland, Sweden, Austria, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ukraine, Romania, Greece, Portugal, Norway, and Finland. In 2024, Germany held the largest market share.
The dialysis equipment market in Germany is significantly influenced by demographic trends and a high prevalence of chronic illnesses that can lead to kidney failure. The population is aging rapidly, with a higher-than-average proportion of individuals over the age of 65. This trend is expected to continue over the next decade, with a median age projected to be over 45 years by 2025, according to Statistics Germany and Worldometer data. This demographic shift results in a larger pool of individuals affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), alongside other major chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
The German Health Report on Diabetes 2025, published in November 2024, estimated that over 9 million people in Germany are affected by Type 2 diabetes (including undiagnosed cases), along with a significant number of Type 1 diabetes patients. Both diabetes and hypertension are leading contributors to CKD, which can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In September 2024, the German Society of Nephrology (DGfN) estimated that more than 9 million people in Germany are affected by CKD, with over 100,000 patients requiring permanent dialysis.
The Versorgungsatlas report from October 2024 indicated a noticeable increase in the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease among patients aged over 40. The large number of patients requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) creates a continuous demand for dialysis equipment, such as hemodialysis machines, dialyzers, and associated consumables. These are primarily sourced from dialysis centers and hospitals, with some patients utilizing home-based therapies. The ongoing management of this substantial patient population necessitates continuous investment in and the provision of dialysis technology throughout the German healthcare system.
Italy, characterized by one of the oldest populations in Europe, reached a median age of 46.6 years by December 31, 2023, with individuals over 65 making up 24.3% of the population, an increase from 24% in 2022, according to ISTAT data released in December 2024. This aging trend significantly contributes to the burden of CKD. Additionally, diabetes and hypertension are prevalent health issues in Italy, further increasing the need for renal replacement therapy.
