Global & Egypt Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market to 2031

The peritoneal dialysis (PD) equipment market in Egypt shows a notable gap between its potential and actual usage, with hemodialysis still being the predominant treatment method. This situation is primarily attributed to financial limitations, insufficient provider expertise, and the absence of a national initiative to promote PD as a primary treatment option. Despite these obstacles, there are ongoing efforts that indicate a gradual increase in the adoption of PD. For example, a report from Renal Replacement Therapy published in May 2025 highlights that PD is significantly underused, often reserved for patients who have encountered complications with hemodialysis, such as vascular access problems, or for specific pediatric cases. The financial implications are a major hurdle, as the costs associated with PD are a key factor in its limited uptake. The same report points out that while the government provides substantial subsidies for hemodialysis, the lack of a defined national strategy for funding and promoting PD restricts its expansion.

Additionally, a government tender released in August 2025 aimed at establishing a fully equipped kidney dialysis unit suggests ongoing investment in dialysis infrastructure, which, while not specifically mentioning PD, reflects a broader commitment to improving renal care. The modernization of healthcare facilities, bolstered by the Universal Health Insurance Law, is paving the way for advanced technologies, including automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) systems that enhance patient convenience and adherence.

Moreover, a study published in Hemodialysis International in April 2024 found that although the majority of patients in Egypt are receiving hemodialysis, there is an increasing awareness of the advantages of home-based care. This study emphasized the necessity for improved education for both patients and healthcare providers to dispel the notion that dialysis must occur exclusively in a hospital environment. This gradual change in perspective is a vital step toward broadening the market for PD equipment and supplies. Show more
