Nordic Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook (2021-2031)

The Nordic peritoneal dialysis equipment market size is expected to reach US$ 38.3 million by 2031 from US$ 25.6 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 to 2031.

Executive Summary and Nordic Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Analysis:

The peritoneal dialysis equipment market in the Nordic region is experiencing significant growth propelled by growing demand for home-based dialysis, lower cost compared to in-center HD, and government support in developing regions. The Nordic PD equipment market is mature and highly penetrated. It is one of the most developed markets in Europe. Although the growing incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) supports increased adoption of PD in the region, the market is primarily driven by efforts to move away from expensive in-center hemodialysis and toward more cost-effective home-based therapies for renal patients. This is reflected in the region’s high per capita use of peritoneal dialysis and early acceptance of new technology compared to more traditional markets. A notable aspect of the Nordic market is the high implementation of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) with substantial support from public health systems and patient organizations. The widespread availability of APD systems with remote connectivity features (often consumer health technology-based) and the tech-savvy patient population in the region make it easier for physicians to ensure continuity of care. Additionally, the consumables segment emphasizes high-quality PD solutions that reduce risks such as peritonitis and other complications.

Nordic 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 due to the necessity for a continuous supply of single-use items like dialysate solutions for every treatment. There is a constant and high-volume demand regardless of manual or automated therapy.
• 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. While APD is a growing trend, CAPD remains a significant segment due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and patient autonomy, aligning with the Nordic region's philosophy of empowering individuals to manage their health independently.
• 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 due to the region's strong public healthcare systems and a patient-centric philosophy that actively promotes and supports home-based therapies to improve quality of life and reduce hospital burden.

Nordic Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook

The Nordic peritoneal dialysis equipment market is segmented into Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. The outlook for the Nordic peritoneal dialysis market is one of continued leadership and innovation. The focus on the efficiency and quality of patients’ lives is expected to boost the implementation of home dialysis even further. Key areas of development would pertain to digital health platforms’ integration, data flowing from patients’ APD cyclers to uniform clinical care teams, and making predictive recommendations for better care plans, as well as an acceptable response to unmet needs. The market will also likely focus on better personalizing PD solutions and devices to target health problems associated with co-morbidities or lifestyles. Of note is the existence of highly organized and well-funded public healthcare systems well-positioned to explore, develop, and scale the innovations. Finally, the continuous pursuit of lowering the overall cost burden of chronic disease management will also favor PD as a renal care option in the Nordic region.

Nordic Peritoneal Dialysis Equipment Market Country Insights

Based on country, the Nordic peritoneal dialysis equipment market is segmented into Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. Sweden held the largest share in 2024.

While all the Nordic countries boast advanced healthcare systems, PD’s landscape varies from country to country. Sweden has the longest track record in PD, as demonstrated by the national registries and research promoting better clinical outcomes and PD uptake. Sweden is an active patient empowerment promoter, which is also one of the national healthcare aims. Norway employs PD to a significant degree, which is facilitated by the universal access to healthcare and the strongly sustainability-oriented focus in the long term. Denmark likely has the highest prevalence and incidence in Europe, yet the government promotes PD nationally through patient education about autonomy in treatment decisions. Finland also has high PD utilization, but that is more to ensure equitable access for its population than to relieve hospital pressure. These specific approaches further demonstrate the importance of implementing supportive national policy and adopting or promoting patient-centric PD care delivery.
