The nephrology drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.04 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging therapies and drug innovations, precision medicine and personalized treatment approaches, increasing healthcare expenditure, telehealth and remote patient monitoring, global health initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include collaborations and partnerships, technological advancements in dialysis, advancements in treatment modalities, growing emphasis on early diagnosis and intervention, technological integration in nephrology management.
The expanding prevalence of chronic kidney disease is anticipated to drive growth in the nephrology drugs market. Chronic kidney disease results from gradual kidney damage, leading to reduced blood filtration and potential waste buildup in the body. Nephrology drugs play a vital role in managing this condition, aiming to improve kidney function and slow disease progression. Notably, reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in July 2022 estimated over 37 million diagnosed cases of chronic kidney disease in the US, primarily affecting individuals aged 65 or older. Similarly, the Kidney Foundation of Canada reported 4 million Canadians grappling with kidney diseases, with diabetes being a prominent contributor to kidney failure, a trend expected to rise further.
The rising incidence of diabetes and hypertension is set to propel the nephrology drug market forward. Diabetes, characterized by high blood glucose levels due to insulin-related issues, and hypertension, denoting consistently high blood pressure, are increasingly prevalent conditions. Both ailments often lead to renal complications, creating a heightened demand for nephrology medications. Notably, the World Health Organization's June 2022 data registered over 2.5 million hypertension patients across 15,000 health institutions, while the Centers for Disease Control's 2022 report identified an estimated 37.3 million global cases of diabetes. Consequently, the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension drives the demand for nephrology drugs due to their association with kidney issues.
Product innovation stands as a prominent trend shaping the nephrology drug market. Key industry players are actively introducing novel drugs and solutions to maintain market relevance. For instance, in March 2022, Zydus Lifesciences Limited launched Oxemia (desidustat), an oral medication for chronic kidney disease. This innovative small-molecule hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor has shown promise in Phase III trials, exhibiting positive safety profiles and beneficial effects on anemia, iron mobilization, and LDL-C reduction in CKD patients. Additionally, this innovation is positioned to alleviate the disease burden by providing cost-effective treatment and enhancing patients' quality of life.
Major companies in the nephrology drugs market prioritize obtaining approvals for innovative products, such as the US Food and Drug Administration's approval of Jardiance (empagliflozin). This medication, belonging to the SGLT-2 family for type 2 diabetes, enhances glucose excretion via the kidneys. In January 2023, Eli Lilly and Company, in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim, announced FDA approval of Jardiance tablets. These tablets are being investigated as a potential treatment to reduce the risk of advancing kidney disease and cardiovascular death in adults with chronic kidney disease, signifying a concerted effort among pharmaceutical giants to address evolving consumer needs through innovation and regulatory milestones.
In January 2024, Novartis AG, a pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, acquired SanReno Therapeutics for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition highlights Novartis' dedication to expanding its renal market portfolio, especially in Greater China and Singapore, where there is considerable growth potential for nephrology therapeutics. The strategic decision aligns with Novartis' broader objectives of developing innovative treatments for kidney diseases, thereby strengthening its competitive position in the nephrology drugs market. SanReno Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in China that specializes in creating innovative therapies for kidney diseases, with a particular focus on Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN).
