Kidney Infection Market Analysis

Kidney Infection Market Overview

Kidney Infection Market Size was valued at USD 4.4 Billion in 2023. The Global Kidney Infection industry is projected to grow from USD 4.79 Billion in 2024 to USD 10.67 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

The blood test is performed to make sure that the kidneys are functioning normally. The urine test, called a urinalysis, detects any abnormal cells or proteins that relate to a kidney problem. If the blood and urine tests are normal, then no other tests are required. In some cases, these infections are diagnosed when a person undergoes an ultrasound examination or CT scan of the abdomen for some other reason. Additionally, the urologist may suggest an X-ray examination called “Voiding Cystourethrogram”.

Increasing prevalence of kidney infections, increasing investment by biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in R&D, and rising need for the better treatment methods drive the growth of the kidney infection market. Furthermore, favorable reimbursement policies, increased application and significant investments in the development of new technologies for the treatment of diseases are likely to fuel the kidney infection market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, increasing geriatric population is projected to boost the kidney infection market growth. Established market players in the developed countries lead the globalization by pushing new products and services into the developing countries and emerging economies. However, higher treatment cost may hinder the kidney infection market growth over the review period.

As per the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), Kidney disease is often referred to as a “silent disease” as there are no symptoms in its early stages and can go undetected. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). High blood pressure and diabetes are the main causes of CKD. The high economic cost to health systems and decreased productivity are the major drawbacks of kidney diseases. NIDDK also stated that the overall prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in the general population is approximately 14%. It also stated that in 2013, Medicare spending for patients with CKD aged 65 and older exceeded USD 50 billion, which accounted for 20% of total Medicare spending in this age group. Over 70% of the Medicare spending for CKD patients aged 65 and older was incurred by those who also had diabetes, congestive heart failure, or both.
