The market is categorised into type, product, end user and region. The type segment is classified into haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The haemodialysis segment is further divided into conventional dialysis, nocturnal haemodialysis and short daily haemodialysis while the peritoneal dialysis segment is bifurcated into continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and automated peritoneal dialysis. The peritoneal dialysis segment is predicted to hold the largest dialysis market share, and this can be due to the increased insistence for peritoneal dialysis, especially amongst children and infants. Furthermore, this method has a wide range of applications, particularly in home-based services. For instance, Baxter Inc., in April 2015, were awarded with a CE approval for launching Homechoice Claria in Europe. This device can perform peritoneal dialysis in home-based settings. The product segment is fragmented into device, consumables and services. The devices segment is further bifurcated into dialysers, water treatment systems, dialysis machines and others while consumables segment is further divided into concentrates, catheters, bloodline and others. The end user segment is classified into hospital-based and home-based dialysis. The home-based dialysis segment is anticipated to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for home-based medical services and the rising geriatric population. The hospital-based segment, on the other hand, currently dominates the market and this is backed up by data provided by Global Dialysis which states that over 16,000 centres were set in over 160 countries in 2015. Furthermore, many key players have collaborated with major hospital chains to set up hospital-based dialysis. For example, in 2017, Fresenius Medical Care Co. collaborated with John Hopkins Hospitals in setting up over eight centres in Baltimore, U.S, owing to the rising demand for this service in the region.
