GCC Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook (2021-2031)

The GCC peritoneal dialysis equipment market size is expected to reach US$ 30.6 million by 2031 from US$ 25.1 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 2.7% from 2025 to 2031.

Executive Summary and GCC Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Analysis:

The peritoneal dialysis equipment market in GCC is experiencing significant growth driven by growing demand for home-based dialysis, lower cost compared to in-center HD, and government support in developing regions. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Equipment Market is a dynamic and developed market, driven by the high proliferation of chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, which are the main causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In contrast, the well-funded health care systems of the region have historically favored in-center hemodialysis (HD), with the increasing recognition of PDs as a more patient-centered and cost-effective option. The consumables segment dominates the market, with a continuous demand for high-quality peritoneal dialysis solutions and transfer sets required for every treatment. A major factor shaping the market is a preference towards automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), especially in rich urban areas, where patients prefer to facilitate nocturnal, machine-assisted therapy. However, GCC's overall PD use rate is lower than global standards. This is due to the combination of factors, including the lack of extensive education for patients and physicians about PDs, and a prevalent "HD-centric" model of care.

GCC Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Segmentation Analysis

Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the peritoneal dialysis equipment market analysis are product, application, and end user.

• By product, peritoneal dialysis equipment market is segmented into automated peritoneal dialysis machines, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis systems, and PD consumables/accessories. The PD consumables/accessories segment dominated the market in 2024. This is attributed to the continuous and daily need for single-use dialysate solutions and other accessories, which are essential for every treatment and constitute a constant and high-volume demand.
• In terms of application, the market is segmented into continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and automated peritoneal dialysis. The continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis segment held a larger share of the market in 2024. This is due to its simplicity, low initial equipment cost, and independence from a machine, making it a practical and accessible option across countries with varying healthcare infrastructure and economic conditions.
• By end user, the market is segmented into in-center dialysis settings and home care settings. The home care settings segment held a larger share of the market in 2024. This is owing to a growing preference for patient autonomy and a better quality of life, alongside the cost-effectiveness of home-based therapy compared to the high costs associated with in-center, hospital-based treatments.

GCC Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook

The GCC peritoneal dialysis equipment market is segmented into the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait. The outlook for the GCC peritoneal dialysis market is one of significant potential, fueled by strategic healthcare reforms and a growing focus on patient empowerment. The region's governments prioritize diversifying their health services to manage the rapidly increasing burden of ESRD. This involves promoting home-based treatments such as PDs to reduce burden at hospital-based HD centers. The market benefits from continuous investment in infrastructure and digital health platforms, such as remote monitoring and integrated telemedicine, which are important to support home-based patients. These technologies will help remove logistical challenges and provide real-time clinical inspection. In addition, since the population of this region becomes more educated about their treatment options, there will be an increasing demand for treatments that offer better quality. The market's future will be defined by the successful implementation of policies that encourage PDs and targeted training programs for health professionals to build the necessary expertise for home-based care.

GCC Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Country Insights

Based on country, the GCC peritoneal dialysis equipment market is segmented into the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait. Saudi Arabia held the largest share in 2024.

Adopting peritoneal dialysis varies significantly across the GCC, reflecting different national healthcare policies and priorities. Saudi Arabia, for example, has the largest patient population in the region. Still, its PD utilization remains relatively low compared to global averages, with a strong reliance on in-center hemodialysis. Studies show that a major barrier is patient and nephrologist preference for HD, despite evidence of PD's benefits. In contrast, Qatar has one of the highest PD penetration rates in the GCC, with a well-structured national PD program and a strong focus on innovation. The country's successful model results from a concerted effort to offer PD as a primary therapy and a focus on improving patient outcomes. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) also has a low PD utilization rate, but its focus on advanced healthcare technologies and patient-centric care is a positive sign for future growth. These disparities highlight the crucial role of government policies, reimbursement models, and clinician education in shaping the adoption of peritoneal dialysis.
