マーケットリサーチセンター has released a research report covering the size and trends of Japan's dialysis equipment market from 2026 to 2035. The market was valued at US$1.61 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to US$2.72 billion by 2035, representing projected annual growth of 5.4%.
Japan's dialysis equipment market was valued at US$1.61 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2026 to 2035, reaching US$2.72 billion by 2035. Growth drivers include the aging population, an increase in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the growing prevalence of underlying conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, advances in dialysis technology, and government support for healthcare infrastructure and renal replacement therapy.
By type, Hemodialysis Equipment is expected to lead the market, with demand centered on In-Center Hemodialysis Machines. Home-Based Hemodialysis Machines, meanwhile, have room to grow as they reduce the burden of hospital visits and offer greater treatment flexibility. Peritoneal dialysis equipment, including CAPD and APD systems, is well suited to home treatment and may gain prominence as patient-centered kidney care becomes more widespread.
By end user, Hospitals have historically been the largest category, accounting for approximately 78% of the market. Dialysis Centers are also an important source of demand, although the specific market share is not provided in the source material.
The market's largest structural driver is the rising burden of CKD. Data from Okayama Prefecture in 2022 reported that 6-9% of high-risk patients progressed to end-stage renal disease. This is a region-specific estimate rather than a nationwide indicator. CKD progression is associated with factors including diabetes, hypertension and proteinuria, while population aging is expected to drive dialysis demand over the long term.
