Africa Dialysis Equipment Market

The Africa dialysis equipment market size is expected to reach US$ 203.45 million by 2031 from US$ 186.61 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 1.24% from 2025 to 2031.

Executive Summary and Africa Dialysis Equipment Market Analysis:

The dialysis equipment market in Africa is experiencing significant growth driven by growing burden of kidney disease. Access to life-saving renal replacement therapy is a cause for concern for patients with end-stage renal disease in Sub-Saharan Africa. Healthcare budgets are often limited in low-income countries, so there are few dialysis centers for the millions of people who need them, which means long waitlists and avoidable deaths. The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Africa is significant, and is estimated to affect 10% - 15% of the general population, with people living with HIV having a prevalence of about 7.9%. CKD is a leading cause of premature mortality. The added burden of financial and human resources to maintain highly consumable and highly skilled capacity is problematic. One area with a slightly more developed private healthcare system is South Africa. The burden of patient access to care remains immense, with urban access not concordant in equality distribution to patients in rural areas. Telemedicine is being further developed to investigate remote monitoring into the relationship management of dialysis products, with potential to alleviate the pressure to attend on site facilities. With scientific advances in early detection and management of CKD, the industry is beginning to pivot towards slowing progression of CKD and avoiding dialysis.

Africa Dialysis Equipment Market Segmentation Analysis:

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

  • By product, dialysis equipment market is segmented into emodialysis equipment, peritoneal dialysis equipment, concentrates and solutions, catheters and tubings, and other products. The hemodialysis equipment segment dominated the market in 2024.
  • In terms of application, the market is segmented into hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis. The hemodialysis segment held the largest share of the market in 2024.
  • By end user, the market is segmented into in-center dialysis settings, and home care settings. The in-center dialysis settings segment held the largest share of the market in 2024.

Africa Dialysis Equipment Market Outlook

The Africa dialysis equipment market is segmented into Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, and Algeria. The African dialysis equipment market in 2024 is in a state of enormous unmet need, huge growth potential, and severe inequities in network and infrastructure. This growth is mainly due to the growing burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage kidney disease (ESRD); along with the rising incidence of diabetes and hypertension, infectious diseases (e.g., HIV) also contribute to significant rates of kidney failure. While the potential for growth is significant, a key challenge for much of Africa is the undeveloped healthcare infrastructure, severe shortage of qualified nephrology practitioners, and often inadequate reimbursement policies and government support to subsidize dialysis, resulting in high out-of-pocket expenses for patients. Regardless of these barriers, there is increasing recognition for the need for improved renal care which has resulted in higher investments mostly in urban areas, and to a lesser extent, a growing interest in more affordable and accessible peritoneal dialysis and home-based options.

Africa Dialysis Equipment Market Country Insights

Based on region, the Africa dialysis equipment market is further segmented into the Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, and Algeria. The Egypt held the largest share in 2024.

The market in Egypt is being driven by a growing prevalence of CKD, an aging population, and government efforts to build out their healthcare infrastructure. In 2024 you would expect to see Egypt trying to build out urban areas with new dialysis centers including in cities such as Cairo and Alexandria, and additional awareness of PD options that are being supported by technology including automated peritoneal dialysis (APO) systems and remote monitoring, which are more efficient and convenient for treatment, especially in rural areas with little access.

Nigeria bears a large burden of CKD and ESRD, with an estimated 75,000 people needing dialysis each year. Though this is a large demand, there is limited access to dialysis, and only a small percentage of these patients are being treated, due to limited infrastructure, a lack of reimbursement for treatment, and an estimated 0.6 nephrologists per million population. In Algeria, like many countries in North Africa, there is a lack of awareness of kidney diseases, leading to delayed diagnosis, and treatment.
