Global & Denmark Dialysis Equipment Market to 2031

The dialysis equipment market in Denmark is closely tied to the nation's demographic trends and the prevalence of chronic conditions that contribute to kidney disease. With a significant and growing elderly population, individuals aged 65 and over made up 20.9% of Denmark’s total population in 2024, up from 20.7% in 2023, according to Knoema data. This aging demographic plays a major role in the increasing burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Additionally, chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension are widespread in Denmark and are significant risk factors for CKD, leading to a growing need for renal replacement therapy (RRT).

The International Diabetes Federation's 2024 data highlights a notable proportion of adults in Denmark living with diabetes, a key contributor to kidney disease. The WHO's 2023 country profile also indicates a high prevalence of hypertension among Danish adults. A study published in February 2025 as part of the Lolland-Falster Health Study found that 18.0% of the adults in the sample had CKD, with diabetes and hypertension being more common in those with the disease.

According to the ERA Registry's 2024 report, which provides a broader European perspective, the incidence of RRT continues to rise, with diabetes being a leading cause of kidney failure. Denmark stands out for its relatively high adoption of home dialysis, as shown by the ERA Registry data published in March 2025, which found that 26.7% of dialysis patients in Denmark were receiving home dialysis. This included 20.3% on peritoneal dialysis and 6.4% on home hemodialysis. This preference for home-based dialysis treatments influences the demand for specialized equipment and consumables, while the need for traditional in-center hemodialysis supplies remains substantial for the majority of patients.

Denmark’s well-established healthcare system and emphasis on managing chronic diseases ensure a steady and growing demand for dialysis technology and support services, further highlighting the need for ongoing investment in dialysis equipment across the country. Show more
