China represents one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding ESKD treatment markets in the world. Driven by an enormous diabetic and hypertensive population, increasing urbanization, and rising life expectancy, the demand for renal replacement therapy is surging.
Government reforms and major investments in public health have made dialysis more accessible, particularly through the inclusion of ESKD treatment in national insurance programs. The Chinese government has also increased support for domestic production of dialysis equipment to meet growing demand.
However, the market faces key restraints including late diagnosis of CKD, regional healthcare inequalities, and a chronic shortage of nephrologists. Additionally, kidney transplantation remains limited by low organ donation rates despite awareness campaigns.
Key trends include the rollout of massive dialysis center networks in tier 2 and 3 cities, strong growth in peritoneal dialysis, and heavy investment in AI and telehealth platforms. China is also rapidly adopting mobile health technologies and digital record systems to improve chronic disease management.
Opportunities lie in expanding public-private partnerships, fostering home dialysis solutions, and integrating precision medicine into nephrology. With a strategic focus on healthcare innovation and infrastructure, China is set to become a dominant force in the global ESKD treatment market over the next decade.
