Kidney Transplant Global Market Report 2024

The kidney transplant market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.8 billion in 2023 to $6.11 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to research and clinical trials, initiatives for patient education and support, improved diagnostic tools, advancements in post-transplant care, and the development of immunosuppressive therapies.

The kidney transplant market is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.34 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for transplantation, advancements in immunomodulatory therapies, the expansion of the living donor pool, efforts to minimize wait times, and the use of telemedicine for pre-transplant evaluation. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of patient-centric care models, ongoing research in xenotransplantation, improved rejection monitoring, the integration of telemedicine for post-transplant care, and initiatives aimed at expanding access to transplantation.

The anticipated increase in the occurrence of renal disorders and kidney failure is poised to drive the growth of the kidney transplant market in the future. Renal disorders and kidney failure refer to conditions where the kidneys cease to function, leading to an imbalance in bodily chemicals and the inability to eliminate waste and excess water from the blood. Kidney transplants become a necessity to restore kidney function and address the underlying causes of renal failure. According to the American Kidney Fund in 2023, 37 million Americans suffer from kidney disease, with approximately 130,000 Americans newly diagnosed with kidney failure in 2020. Consequently, the growing incidence of renal disorders and kidney failure serves as a significant driver for the expansion of the kidney transplant market.

The anticipated shortage of donor organs is expected to fuel the growth of the kidney transplant market. This shortage arises when the supply of available organs for transplantation falls short of the demand. The scarcity of donor organs intensifies the demand for kidney transplants, representing a critical and often life-saving intervention for individuals with kidney disorders. Life Source reported in March 2023 that every day, 17 individuals die while waiting for an organ transplant, and a new name is added to the transplant waiting list every 9 minutes. Currently, over 100,000 patients in the US are awaiting a second chance at a life-saving organ transplant. Thus, the shortage of donor organs acts as a driving force behind the expansion of the kidney transplant market.

Advancements in kidney transplantation techniques emerge as a noteworthy trend gaining traction in the kidney transplant market. Companies within the industry are dedicating efforts to developing innovative solutions for kidney transplants to maintain their competitive positions. Stanford Medicine, a US-based healthcare system, introduced the DISOT (dual immune/solid organ transplant) technique in June 2022 for pediatric kidney transplantation. This groundbreaking method involves transferring the donor's immune system to the recipient before the kidney transplant, eliminating the need for lifelong immune-suppressing drugs. The innovation brings significant benefits to patients by sparing them from the serious long-term side effects associated with immune-suppressing medications, including increased risks of cancer, diabetes, infections, and hypertension.

Major companies in the kidney transplant sector are adopting strategic partnerships to enhance the overall patient experience and provide more comprehensive solutions. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits and success. For example, in April 2023, CareDx Inc., a US-based biotechnology research company, partnered with Miromatrix Medical Inc., a US-based life sciences company. This collaboration aims to expedite the development of bioengineered organs for human transplantation, combining expertise, resources, and market reach to contribute significantly to addressing the organ shortage crisis and improving the lives of transplant patients globally.

In January 2022, DaVita Inc., a US-based kidney dialysis services company, acquired MedSleuth Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, DaVita Inc. seeks to alleviate access burdens on kidney and liver transplant candidates by connecting them to transplant centers, physicians, and care teams to enhance kidney and liver transplant outcomes. MedSleuth Inc., a US-based transplant software company, provides kidney transplantation technology services.

The primary types of kidney transplants include deceased-donor kidney transplants, living-donor kidney transplants, and expanded-criteria donor kidney transplants. In a deceased-donor kidney transplant, a kidney is obtained from a deceased donor and transplanted into a recipient experiencing end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This surgical procedure is conducted in both adult and pediatric patients and finds applications in areas such as drug delivery, capsule endoscopy, and patient monitoring. These procedures are carried out by various end users, including transplant centers, hospitals, and academic and research institutes.
