GCC Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook (2021-2031)

The GCC dialysis equipment market size is expected to reach US$ 96.27 million by 2031 from US$ 84.44 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 1.89% from 2025 to 2031.

Executive Summary and GCC Dialysis Equipment Market Analysis:

The dialysis equipment market in GCC is experiencing significant growth driven by growing prevalence of ESKD. The mean prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the GCC countries was 551 per million population (PMP). The GCC nations had committed substantial dollars to healthcare infrastructure, and thus the accessibility of dialysis services for their governments is generally good because they subsidize and there are often free options for their citizens. This has led to a relatively high prevalence of dialysis therapy compared to other regions in the Middle East and Africa. The region is focused on providing high-quality care with modern dialysis machines and attentive medical professionals. Despite a predominance of in-center hemodialysis, there is ongoing interest in developing peritoneal dialysis and home-based options to improve patient quality of life and accommodate increasing patients. Given high per capita income and an inclination for novel medical solutions, there is a robust adoption of technology (e.g., remote monitoring and portable devices). As part of national visions and diversification strategies (for example, Saudi Vision 2030), governments in the GCC are heavily investing in healthcare infrastructure upgrades and expansions to provide state-of-the-art medical facilities and access to cutting-edge treatments.

GCC Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook

The GCC dialysis equipment market is segmented into UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait. The GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) dialysis equipment market is experiencing robust growth, propelled by a high and escalating prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), largely attributed to the region's increasing rates of diabetes and hypertension. It is important to acknowledge this epidemiological shift while considering an aging population, as both stimulate the demand for advanced renal replacement therapies. In addition, there is substantial government engagement with healthcare infrastructure, as well as the national healthcare transformation programs (e.g., Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030) to expand capacity and upgrade dialysis machines in the GCC. For example, Oman announced a new initiative to spend more than 35 million dollars to develop over 22 new dialysis centers with about 500 state-of-the-art machines. The market is also benefitting from technological advancement, as now we have more portable and user-friendly devices.

GCC Dialysis Equipment Market Country Insights

Based on region, the GCC dialysis equipment market is further segmented into the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait. The Saudi Arabia held the largest share in 2024.

The mean prevalence of ESKD in the GCC countries was 551 per million population (pmp), with Oman having the highest (1,000/pmp) and Qatar having the lowest (347/pmp) incidence. Diabetes and hypertension were the most common causes of ESKD in the region. Only Kuwait has a CKD registry in the GCC. In Saudi Arabia, The Kingdom's Vision 2030 and National Transformation Program (NTP) has a strong focus on improving healthcare infrastructure, including the availability of expanded dialysis services and the acquisition of advanced equipment. This focus is providing a platform for growth.

There is also a focus on controlling the underlying causes of kidney disease such as diabetes and hypertension through public health initiatives. The use of advanced dialysis therapies including online hemodiafiltration are increasing in intensity in some GCC countries.
