Overview of the Global Chronic Kidney Disease Drugs Market
Infoholic’s market research report predicts that the “Global Chronic Kidney Disease Drugs Market” will grow at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period. The market has witnessed flat growth in the past few years and is sustaining only due to the steady rise in the incidence of renal disorders leading to chronic kidney disease, increasing incidences of cardiovascular and metabolism-related disorders, and growing geriatric population globally.
The growing market trend continues and is one of the increasingly accepted markets in many countries worldwide. Chronic kidney disease drugs manufacturers are focusing on obtaining funds and collaborating with universities to enlarge their R&D capabilities. A majority of the revenue is generated from the leading players in the market with dominant sales from AbbVie, Amgen, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, and AstraZeneca.
According to Infoholic Research analysis, North America accounted for the largest share of the global chronic kidney disease drugs market in 2018. The US dominates the market owing to the presence of a majority of the chronic kidney disease drugs manufacturers in the region. However, the fastest growth rate is anticipated to be in the APAC region due to the large kidney disease patient population and increasing awareness about the disease.
By Drug Class:
- Antihypertensives
- Antihyperlipidemics
- Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs)
