Research Report on China's Artificial Kidney Import 2023-2032
Artificial kidney is the collective name of devices that can simulate human kidney function for kidney replacement therapy, mainly including the current widespread clinical use of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and other technical devices, used to save the lives of patients with acute and chronic renal failure.
Artificial kidney is widely used in clinical practice with remarkable efficacy, and it is one of the most active fields of artificial organ research. In recent years, with the economic development of China, the incidence of chronic kidney disease has been increasing year by year due to the over-nutrition of residents and the influence of environmental pollution. Take uremia as an example, there are about 3 million uremic patients in China and nearly one million people need hemodialysis. The high incidence has driven the development of China's artificial kidney industry.
China needs to import a considerable number of artificial kidneys every year. According to CRI analysis, in 2021, China imported 70,400 artificial kidneys, down 79.74% year-on-year, with an import value of US$336 million, up 40.51% year-on-year. From January to November 2022, China imported 165,100 artificial kidneys, up 187.48% year-on-year, with an import value of US$240 million, up 2.54% year-on-year.
In 2021, China imported artificial kidneys from 16 countries and regions. CRI analysis, based on the import volume, then Germany, Japan, Italy, Sweden and France are the main sources of artificial kidney imports in China. In 2021, China imported 45,700 artificial kidneys from Germany, accounting for 64.86% of total artificial kidney imports and US$205 million, accounting for 61.07% of total imports.
China's artificial kidney technology is relatively backward compared to overseas, and overseas artificial kidney technology is more mature and stable in quality, so China needs to import a large number of artificial kidneys. CRI expects that China's artificial kidney imports will continue to grow in 2023-2032 as the market size of China's artificial kidney rises.
