Hyperkalemia Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034


The 7 major hyperkalemia markets reached a value of US$ 1.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 2.4 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.47% during 2024-2034.

The hyperkalemia market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Hyperkalemia Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Hyperkalemia is a medical condition characterized by increased levels of potassium in the blood. Potassium is essential to maintain the proper functioning of neurons and muscle cells, including those in the heart. Normal potassium levels range between 3.5 and 5.0 mmol/L, with levels exceeding 5.5 mmol/L classified as hyperkalemia. The symptoms of this ailment are usually few and nonspecific. Some of the indications include fatigue, muscle weakness, pain, numbness, etc. In severe cases, individuals suffering from the disorder may also experience palpitations, diarrhea, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, and abnormal heart rhythm, resulting in cardiac arrest and death. The diagnosis of hyperkalemia typically involves a blood test that measures the level of potassium in the bloodstream. The healthcare professional may perform various laboratory tests, such as serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, to evaluate renal function and urinalysis to screen for kidney disease. Additionally, electrocardiography (ECG) may be carried out to detect if there is a high risk of irregular heart rhythms.

The rising cases of chronic kidney diseases that affect the kidneys' ability to remove enough potassium from the body are primarily driving the hyperkalemia market. Besides this, the increasing prevalence of several associated risk factors, such as adrenal insufficiency, transfusion of blood products, hemolysis, usage of certain medications like ACE inhibitors, etc., is also augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of loop diuretics, which work by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, thereby promoting the excretion of potassium in the urine, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the inflating utilization of renal replacement therapy for removing extra potassium from the bloodstream and restoring the body to its physiological levels is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, numerous key players are making substantial investments in R&D activities to introduce a combination of effective drugs and innovative therapeutic approaches to help reduce the risk of side effects associated with high doses of individual medications. This, in turn, is also bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the ongoing development of several novel therapies for treating the ailment, such as small-molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, which target potassium channels in the body, is expected to drive the hyperkalemia market in the coming years.

IMARC Group's new report provides an exhaustive analysis of the hyperkalemia market in the United States, EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, and France), United Kingdom, and Japan. This includes treatment practices, in-market, and pipeline drugs, share of individual therapies, market performance across the seven major markets, market performance of key companies and their drugs, etc. The report also provides the current and future patient pool across the seven major markets. According to the report, the United States has the largest patient pool for hyperkalemia and also represents the largest market for its treatment. Furthermore, the current treatment practice/algorithm, market drivers, challenges, opportunities, reimbursement scenario, unmet medical needs, etc., have also been provided in the report. This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the hyperkalemia market in any manner.


Key Highlights:
Hyperkalemia is more prevalent in those with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and heart failure.
Hyperkalemia is often categorized as mild (>5.0–5.9 mmol/L), moderate (6.0–6.4 mmol/L) and severe (≥6.5 mmol/L)
The prevalence of hyperkalemia in the emergency department is between 3.6% and 8.8%.
The yearly incidence of hyperkalemia is 0.96 per 100 person-years.
Hyperkalemia affects an estimated 3.7 million persons in the United States, and the prevalence rate has grown since 2010.

Drugs:
Lokelma (Zirconium silicate) is a potassium binder indicated to treat hyperkalemia. It is produced as an oral suspension powder that removes potassium with great selectivity. The drug is taken orally, has no odor or flavor, and remains stable at room temperature.

Veltassa is recommended for the treatment of hyperkalemia in adults and children aged 12 and above. Patiromer exchanges calcium for potassium in the gastrointestinal tract, thus improving fecal potassium excretion and reducing serum potassium in individuals with hyperkalemia.

RDX013 represents a first-in-class, small molecule, targeted therapy. It has the potential to lower levels of serum potassium to treat hyperkalemia by increasing colonic secretion and fecal excretion of potassium in patients.
