COVID-19 Impact on the global CRRT market
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the CRRT market. The surge in the number of COVID cases, along with the rise in its severity rate, is likely to create a potential increase in the incidence of kidney damage. This makes AKI the next emerging healthcare concern after respiratory tract infections among patients with COVID-19.
Due to the pandemic, the demand for renal replacement fluids has increased significantly worldwide. The demand for RRT among patients with COVID-19 has increased fivefold in comparison to the historical US populations (4.9% as of 2020 VS. 0.9% earlier) (Source: American Society of Nephrology, 2021). According to an article published by the International Society of Nephrology 2020, countries such as China and Italy reported AKI rates as high as 29%.
The growing worldwide incidence of AKI/AKF is, therefore, expected to increase the demand for CRRT. According to the International Society of Nephrology (INR), an estimated 13.3 million cases of AKI are registered annually worldwide.

This is anticipated to boost the adoption of continuous renal replacement therapy at a rapid rate. With the rapid growth in the geriatric population globally, the prevalence of kidney-related diseases is expected to increase significantly. This, in turn, is expected to propel the growth of the CRRT market at a significant rate during the forecast period.
As the population in emerging nations is price-sensitive, they prefer lower-priced products. Although the cost of CRRT in developing countries is high which makes these procedures are still unaffordable for a large portion of the population due to the low purchasing power. This limits the demand and uptake of CRRT in developing as well as developed countries.
[181 Pages Report] The global continuous renal replacement therapy market size is projected to reach USD 1.7 billion by 2026 from USD 1.2 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. Various factors such as rise in worldwide prevalence of AKI, Growing number of ICU patients with AKI and increasing incidence of sepsis, and growing clinical advantage of CRRT over intermittent blood purification are factors likely to boost the growth of the market.
The high growth rate of the CVVHDF segment can be attributed to its flexibility as compared to other CRRT modalities. The CVVHDF modality also combines the benefits of convection and diffusion for the removal of solutes, which is another major factor supporting its growth.
