CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CRRT is an extracorporeal blood purification therapy used to treat critically ill AKI/AKF patients. It is
designed to substitute impaired renal function over an extended period. This therapy is considered to be a
gold standard for treatment of hemodynamically unstable AKI patients as it provides better hemodynamic
stability and improved efficiency of solute removal as compared to other dialysis techniques.
The global CRRT market is projected to reach USD 1,532.3 million by 2022 from USD 1,092.5 million in
2017, at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2017 to 2022. Factors such as the increasing prevalence of AKI and renal
disorders, growing number of ICU patients, rapid growth in the aging population, and clinical advantages of
CRRT over intermittent blood purification techniques are driving the growth of the CRRT market. However,
factors such as high procedural cost and stringent regulatory guidelines for CRRT are restraining the
growth of the CRRT market.

On the basis of products, the global CRRT market is segmented into dialysates & replacement fluids,
disposables, and systems. The dialysates & replacement fluids segment is expected to account for the
largest share of the global CRRT market in 2017. The large market share of this segment is primarily
attributed to the high volume requirement of dialysates and replacement fluids during a CRRT procedure
since it is provided as a continuous 24-hour-per-day therapy. The disposables segment is expected to grow
at the highest CAGR of 7.9% from 2017 to 2022.

The CRRT disposables market is further segmented into hemofilters, bloodline sets (tubing sets), and other
disposables (including vascular access catheters, adsorbents, and CRRT accessories). The hemofilters
segment is estimated to account for the largest share of 41.4% of the CRRT disposables market in 2017.
The growth in this segment is primarily attributed to the large and regular demand for consumables owing
to their short work life.

Europe is expected to account for the largest share of 37.7% of the global CRRT market in 2017, followed
by North America (~29.3%). Factors such as the increasing incidences of AKI coupled with growth in the
aging population, high utilization rate of CRRT, and growing number of approvals for CRRT machines for
multiple applications are driving the growth of the CRRT market in the European region.
The market in Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. The
high growth rate in this region can be attributed to factors such as the growing patient population,
increasing sepsis incidence, increasing prevalence of hypertension and diabetes (which are the major
causes for developing AKI), high use of CRRT in Australia and Japan, improving healthcare expenditure,
and increasing accessibility to CRRT for AKI treatment.
The prominent players in the global CRRT market include Baxter International Inc. (U.S.), Fresenius Medical
Care AG & Co. KGAA (Germany), Nikkiso Co., Ltd. (Japan), B. Braun Melsungen AG (Germany), Nxstage
Medical, Inc. (U.S.), Asahi Kasei Medical Co., Ltd. (Japan), Bellco S.R.L. (Italy) Infomed SA (Switzerland),
Medica S.p.A (Italy), Medical Components, Inc. (U.S.), and Toray Medical Company Limited (Japan).
A majority of the leading market players are pursuing the strategies of product development and launches
as a key strategy to expand their CRRT product offerings. Market players are also focusing on acquisitions
& mergers, and entering into strategic agreements & partnerships to enhance their market shares and
strengthen their presence across the globe.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
5.2.1 DRIVERS
5.2.1.1 Increasing global incidence of AKI
Nephrologists/intensivists prefer CRRT for the treatment of AKI patients in ICUs; it is considered as the
gold standard for the treatment of hemodynamically unstable AKI patients as it provides better
hemodynamic stability and improved efficiency of solute removal compared to other dialysis techniques.
The growing worldwide incidence of AKI/AKF is therefore expected to increase the demand for CRRT. The
number of global AKI cases is expected to reach 1.7 million by 2020 from 800,000 cases in 2010, at a
CAGR of ~8% (Source: Baxter, 2015 Investor Conference). In the U.S. alone, an estimated 200,000 cases
of acute kidney failure are registered each year (Source: NxStage Annual Report, 2013). Every year,
approximately 50 million patients are admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in U.S. hospitals; nearly 50%
of these patients develop AKI (Source: Society of Critical Care Medicine). Similarly, approximately 20% of
hospitalized patients in the European Union reportedly develop AKI with a high rate of mortality (Source:
International Society of Nephrology). In the U.K., approximately 13% to 18% of hospitalized patients
develop AKI (Source: National Health Service, U.K.).

With age, the risk of developing AKI also increases. In 2011, the incidence rate of AKI among Medicare
patients aged between 66 and 69 years was 14.9 cases per 1,000 patients, increasing to 18.8 for ages
70–74, 26.4 for ages 75–79, 35.9 for ages 80–84, and 49.6 for 85 years and older (Source: United
States Renal Data System, USRDS). Additionally, factors such as decrease in blood volumes (as aging
causes a reduction in total body water due to which there is less fluid in the bloodstream which results in a
decrease in the blood volume); past medical complications such as heart abnormalities, weight issues, and
issues related to diabetes and liver disease management; and increased intake of medicines can further
exacerbate age-related renal changes.
With the rapid growth in the geriatric population globally, the prevalence of kidney-related diseases is
expected to increase significantly. This, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the CRRT market.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
Thus, the global increase in the number of patient admissions in ICUs is expected to drive the demand for
CRRT, thereby driving market growth. The following are some important statistics in this regard:
The number of ICU admissions in the U.S. is expected to increase by ~50% from 2015 to 2030,
resulting in 330,000 cases of ICU admissions annually by 2030 (Source: Textbook of Post-ICU
Medicine: The Legacy of Critical Care).
In the U.K., the total number of patients admitted to ICUs increased to 181,155 in 2014 from
179,157 in 2013 (Source: National Health Service, U.K.).
An estimated 14.3 million patients are admitted to ICUs in India each year (Source: LIFE).
Technical advantages: CRRT offers better hemodynamic tolerability, more efficient solute
clearance, better control of intravascular volume, reduced need for infusion controls, and better
clearance of middle and large molecular weight substances compared to intermittent blood
perfusion techniques.
Reduced mortality: In a 160-patient study of CRRT vs. IHD, the mortality rate was reduced by
40% in the therapy using CRRT (Source: The New England Journal of Medicine, 346, 305-310).
Short-term benefits: CRRT supports the renal system through continuous, gentle removal of
excess metabolic waste products while returning normal electrolyte and acid-base balance.
Long-term benefits: CRRT improves patient survival rates and increases renal recovery rates.
Furthermore, a number of clinical studies conducted in different countries have demonstrated better renal
recovery results in CRRT over other therapies, which further fosters its adoption among healthcare
providers.
According to a study published in the Chinese Medical Journal (May 2017), CRRT improves the
hemodynamic stability in critically ill patients and also maintains circulatory stability during the
therapy, thereby improving the overall therapeutic outcomes.
As per a study published by the Center for Kidney Disease (China) in May 2015, CRRT is a good
model for critically ill patients, which helps in reducing the mortality rate and improves renal
recovery.
A study circulated by Critical Care Medicine (China) in May 2014, shows that patients starting
treatment of AKI with CRRT are associated with significantly better recovery of their renal
function and a lower incidence of chronic dialysis dependence.
These benefits have resulted in a considerable increase in the adoption of CRRT by nephrologists across
the globe.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
In November 2016, B. Braun Melsungen AG (Germany) introduced OMNI, a new device for CRRT
which provides an improved user interface, minimizes downtime, and optimizes renal dose
delivery.
In January 2015, Baxter International Inc. (U.S.) received U.S. FDA approval for its PHOXILLUM
solution for electrolyte management during CRRT. Hypophosphatemia is a common electrolyte
disturbance that occurs in patients undergoing CRRT, and PHOXILLUM is the only FDA-approved
pre-mixed solution comprising phosphate. It is designed to facilitate electrolyte management
during CRRT by allowing the use of a single type of solution across a wide clinical spectrum of
AKI patients.
In May 2015, Fresenius Medical Care launched multiFiltratePRO, a new therapy system for
CRRT for the treatment of acute kidney failure. User-friendly operations, reliability, and usage in
various extracorporeal therapies are the key features of this new therapy system.
Baxter is expected to launch a new CRRT machine Prismax in 2017. This intuitive platform with
touchscreen and step-by-step automated instructions enhances usability.
These new devices are equipped with user-friendly interfaces that allow easy monitoring. This, in turn, is
expected to drive the adoption of these devices across the globe.
Sepsis affects an estimated 30 million people worldwide every year (Source: Sepsis Fact Sheet).
In developing countries, sepsis accounts for 60%–80% of deaths annually, affecting more than
6 million newborns and children per year. Over 100,000 women are affected with sepsis during
pregnancy and childbirth, every year (Source: Sepsis Fact Sheet).
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sepsis is a serious medical
issue in the U.S., affecting more than 1 million patients annually, and its incidence continues to
rise.
In Germany, the incidence of sepsis increased to 314 cases per 100,000 population in 2013
from 134 cases per 100,000 population in 2007, which shows that the incidence rate grew by
a mean of 15% per year during this period (Source: A study published in Intensive Care
Medicine Experimental Journal).
In 2013, in the U.K., approximately 150,000 new cases of sepsis were registered, of which
~44,000 patient deaths were registered (Source: The UK Sepsis Trust).
CRRT is one of the most widely used modalities for the treatment of patients with sepsis as this therapy
provides an immune-modulatory effect, which is very essential for sepsis management. Thus, with the
rising incidence of sepsis globally, the need for CRRT is expected to rise.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
Globally, the number of patients who have diabetes is expected to reach 642 million by 2040
from 415 million in 2015 (Source: International Diabetes Federation).
According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2015, ~29 million people had diabetes in
the U.S., making it one of the prime causes of new kidney failure cases.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 75 million adults (which
account for 32% of the total U.S. population) suffer from high blood pressure. It was considered
as the major cause contributing to around 410,000 deaths in 2014 in the U.S.
According to the American Heart Association, the prevalence of hypertension in the U.S. is
expected to increase by 8.4% from 2012 to 2030, which will account for ~41.4% of the U.S.
adult population in 2030.
In 2014, the number of people who have diabetes in France was 3.2 million, which increased to
3.3 million in 2015 (Source: International Diabetes Federation). The national prevalence of
diabetes in France was about 7.4% in 2015 (Source: IDF DIABETES ATLAS Seventh Edition
2015).
According to the International Diabetes Federation, around 62 million people had diabetes in
India in 2015, as compared to 50.8 million in 2011.
With the increasing prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, the risk of developing AKI is also expected to
rise. This will result in an increase in the demand for CRRT, thereby driving market growth.
5.2.2 RESTRAINTS
5.2.2.1 High procedural cost of CRRT
The average cost for overall CRRT is USD 4,046, whereas the same for performing IRRT is estimated to be
USD ~1,423 (Source: A Study Published by Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2015). Nephrologists,
especially in the emerging economies, are less inclined towards CRRT in comparison to IHD because of this
high cost. The various factors contributing to the high cost of CRRT compared to other blood perfusion
techniques are listed below:
High nursing and technician cost for performing CRRT in ICU settings
Higher cost of filter sets and dialysates used in CRRT compared to other modalities
In ICUs, for performing CRRT, the nurse to patient ratio is 1:1, whereas for other treatments this
ratio is 1:2. Thus, the requirement of extra nurses further adds to the operation cost of CRRT

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
The significant market share of the U.S. in the global CRRT market is mainly due to the huge AKI population
base. Thus, the presence of stringent and time-consuming regulatory policies for the approval of new CRRT
products in the region poses a key hindrance to the growth of the global market.
5.2.3 OPPORTUNITIES
5.2.3.1 Emerging markets
Emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and Mexico present significant growth opportunities for the
players involved in the CRRT market. According to the International Society of Nephrology, the incidence
rate for AKI is significantly higher in emerging countries compared to the developed countries, with an
estimated 11.3 million patients registered annually.
AKI is relatively widespread in China and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. The overall
incidence rate of AKI in China is ~11.6%. Around 40% of AKI cases in the country were found to be drug-
related, and 16% were induced by Chinese traditional medicines or remedies. Similarly, the incidence of
AKI in India is 17.3 cases per 100 persons every year (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology, Vol. 24, No. 5,
September-October, 2014, pp. 280-285). This high prevalence of AKI in various emerging markets is
expected to propel the demand for CRRT as a treatment option.
In addition to this, regulatory policies in the Asia-Pacific region are more adaptive and business friendly due
to less stringent data requirements. This, along with the increasing competition in mature markets (Europe,
Japan, and Australia), will further trigger CRRT product manufacturers to focus on emerging markets.

CRRT machines are approved for non-renal indications in Europe and other regions such as (Japan and
Australia); however, they are not FDA-approved for any conditions other than renal indications in North
America. This is also one of the key reasons for the higher utilization of CRRT in Europe as compared to
North America. The rise in the use of CRRT machines for non-renal conditions will lead to an increase in the
use of single CRRT machines for multiple treatments; this, in turn, will cause a substantial decrease in the
installation and maintenance costs for hospitals using machines for other indications as well.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
In March 2017, St. Louis University (U.S.) initiated a new clinical trial study, “Hemodynamic
Effects of Blood Flow Variation in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.” The study aims to
evaluate the short-term hemodynamic effects of changes in blood flow rates in critically ill
patients receiving CRRT (Source: Clinical Trials.Gov).
In December 2016, Mayo Clinic (U.S.) initiated a clinical trial study, “Systemic Metabolic
Contribution from Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT).” This study intended to
measure the number of calories delivered from fluids used in CRRT (Source: Clinical Trials.Gov).
In January 2015, the Peking University First Hospital (China) initiated a clinical trial study,
“Efficacy and Safety of Heparin-coated Surface-treated Polyacrylonitrile Membrane Hemofilter in
Critical Ill CRRT Patients.” This study aims to establish the safety and efficacy of the AN69 ST
hemofilter, a surface-treated polyacrylonitrile membrane hemofilter in critical CRRT patients
(Source: Clinical Trials.Gov).
Using these CRRT devices in children can result in complications because of inaccurate fluid balance (FB)
between the volumes of ultrafiltrate (UF) removed, and replacement fluid (RF) delivered. Additionally,
children are at a higher risk than adults of developing complications associated with CRRT due to te
difficulties in venous catheterization with the large-caliber catheters required for the technique, the large
extracorporeal volume of the system (filters and lines), and the need for a more accurate control of
volumes in order to avoid fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Thus, due to the urgent need of a dedicated
system for children, various researchers across the globe are focusing on developing a pediatric CRRT
system.
The CARPEDIEM network is expected to develop into a multinational study group when the clinical phase
comes into place. The approval and marketing of this pediatric CRRT system will open new growth
opportunities for the players involved in this market.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
Additionally, since there are only two prominent manufacturers (Baxter and NxStage) of CRRT systems in
North America, hospitals are looking for better options regarding quality and cost for the supply of CRRT
products in the region. Hence, there is a substantial growth potential in North America for new or existing
CRRT players. Owing to this, various players are focusing on this region.
In January 2015, Baxter obtained FDA approval for Phoxillum Renal Replacement Solutions to
correct electrolyte and acid-base imbalances during CRRT. Phoxillum is the only FDA-approved
pre-mixed solution comprising phosphate.
With the aim of entering the North American market, Nikkiso acquired Baxter’s legacy CRRT
portfolio, including its acute renal therapy product line—the Aquarius System, Aqualine and
Aquaset tubing sets, Aquamax hemofilters, and Accusol solution. The acquisition also includes
the transfer of proprietary Baxter ClearFlex CRRT pharmaceutical solution manufacturing
technology and equipment, marketing and distribution rights, intellectual property, and
associated agreements.
In October 2013, B. Braun Medical Inc. formed a new subsidiary, B. Braun of Canada, Ltd. This
subsidiary enabled the company to work more closely with customers and group purchasing
organizations in Canada.
5.2.4 CHALLENGES
5.2.4.1 High complexity of the therapy
CRRT is a technically complex and high-risk therapy. Some of the major complexities involved in CRRT are
listed below.
Descriptions of the dosage and methods for the delivery of anticoagulants (heparin and citrate)
differ significantly depending on the patient’s condition and may cause confusion about the
selection of the CRRT modality and procedural time in everyday practice. For instance, the use
of citrate as an anticoagulant provides a longer circuit-run as compared to heparin during CRRT.
The use of citrate is an effective strategy for the anticoagulation of the CRRT circuit. The
success of the technique depends on careful monitoring of citrate and supplemental calcium to
prevent the development of metabolic derangements. The careful and continuous monitoring of
citrate and supplemental calcium adds up to the complexity of the therapy.
The need to maintain a balance between the dialysate buffer or electrolyte concentration with
the replacement fluid further intensifies the complexity of the CRRT technique.
Electrolyte problems, circuit clotting & explosion, line-catheter disconnection, and hypothermia
are other major complications associated with CRRT.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
Lack of an accepted complete CRRT 'set' impedes implementation and increases the complexity of the
technique in clinical practice. The optimal timing for CRRT initiation is a critical issue in the treatment of
AKI. Appropriate cessation of CRRT is crucial for proper clinical and economic outcomes. However, due to
lack of information and standard guidelines, current practices, regarding cessation of CRRT, vary as per the
institution. This further adds to the complexity of the therapy.

Owing to these complexities associated with CRRT, switching from CRRT to other dialysis modalities (such
as IHD and SLED) is expected to increase. However, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the
development of technologically advanced, safe, and easy-to-use products that will decrease the complexity
of the therapy to some extent.
49

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
The looming retirement of baby boomer nurses will leave a shortfall of 260,000 nurses by 2025 in the
country. Furthermore, there is limited availability of specific nursing research to guide the management of
CRRT, which further restricts market growth. According to a recently conducted survey by the American
Nurse Today, only 10% of nurse executives believe that new graduate nurses were fully prepared to
practice safely and effectively. However, ongoing training programs are expected to curtail the shortage of
trained ICU nurses to some extent.
Reimbursement is essential for the wider acceptability of CRRT, owing to the high cost of the treatment.
Consequently, most AKI patients in developing countries prefer IHD over CRRT due to its low procedural
cost. Thus, lack of proper reimbursement in developing countries poses a key challenge to the growth of
the market in these regions.
In spite of a variety of innovations in the field, very little standard information is available about the
initiation and implementation of this therapy among AKI patients. This results in low awareness about the
treatment among healthcare providers.

6 INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
6.1 INTRODUCTION
CRRT is performed in acute care settings of hospitals and costs higher than other dialysis modalities
(hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis). As a result, reimbursement plays a critical role in the adoption of
CRRT among AKI patients. The reimbursement provided by payers for CRRT primarily includes physician
(nephrologists and intensivists) and facility (nursing time, support staff time, and supplies) costs. Thorough
documentation and correct coding are the key requirements for the timely and appropriate reimbursement
of CRRT procedures.

In developed countries, the cost of AKI treatment does not have a major impact on its adoption rate as a
result of the favorable reimbursement scenario in these countries. In countries such as the U.S., Japan,
Australia, and Germany, full reimbursement for CRRT procedures is provided by hospital-based
reimbursement and patient self-payment policies. However, in developing and underdeveloped countries
(such as India, South Africa, and Middle Eastern countries), full reimbursement coverage for CRRT patients
is not provided. As a result, in developing and underdeveloped countries, the cost of dialysis is borne out-
of-pocket by patients. However, considering the growing AKI population and increasing demand for CRRT,
governments in developing and underdeveloped countries are focusing on improving the CRRT
reimbursement landscape in their respective healthcare systems.

6.2.2 EUROPE
The adoption of CRRT is increasing in Europe, and it is the preferred technique for most intensivists in the
region. Most European countries provide full reimbursement coverage for CRRT. However, reimbursement
structures and rates vary widely across European countries. For instance, dialysis services (including CRRT)
are provided in 16 languages with ~50 different rates by a large number of players (Source: Capitals
Market Day; Fresenius Medical Care). The reimbursement for CRRT in countries such as Austria and
Germany is independent of provider type (public or private); while in other countries, such as France,
Spain, and Italy, it is dependent on provider type. However, there is no reimbursement for private providers
in countries such as Finland and Denmark. Components such as core disposables, machines,
infrastructure, and physician and nursing fees are included in the base reimbursement in most European
countries. However, diagnostics, special pharmaceuticals, transportation, and nutritional products are
separately reimbursed and not covered under base reimbursement.
In Germany, AKI treatments are reimbursed under G-DRGs (Diagnosis Related Groups). The reimbursement
process in the country involves a fixed payment to hospitals for an in-patient episode of AKI; this also
includes the cost of the corresponding stay in the hospital. L71Z (for a one-day hospital stay) and L60 (for
severe conditions) are the DRG codes for AKI treatment. The reimbursement amount ranges from USD
3,355 (EUR 3,000) to USD 12,302 (EUR 11,000), depending on the severity of comorbidities and the
patient’s age (Source: Translucency Limited, U.K.).
In France, the reimbursement for AKI treatment is provided under the tarification à l’activité (T2A, DRG
tariff) prospective payment system for inpatient candidates. The reimbursement amount varies in both
public as well as private hospitals. The amount ranges between USD 2,392 (EUR 2,139) to USD 15,093
(EUR 13,496) in public hospitals; whereas, in private-sector hospital, the amount ranges between USD
1,931 (EUR 1,727) to USD 7,803 (EUR 6,978) (Source: Translucency Limited, U.K.).
The DRG system, based on ICD-9-CM diagnosis and procedure codes, provides and regulates
reimbursement for AKI treatment in Italy. The Italian healthcare system is highly regionalized, and DRG
tariffs vary from region to region within the country.

Despite these limitations, the demand for CRRT is increasing in Asian countries due to the rising patient
population and growing awareness about advanced medical treatments. This is resulting in the expansion
of existing facilities and establishment of new ones. However, due to government neglect, dialysis facilities
in these countries are largely dependent on private "for-profit" reimbursement providers.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
6.2.4 JAPAN
In Japan, CRRT is used exclusively for the treatment of critically ill AKI patients. The Japanese healthcare
system, consisting primarily of the Social Health Insurance Organization and the Governmental Health
Insurance Organization, provides reimbursements to all renal patients in the country. Acute renal patients
in Japan receive 100% reimbursement from the government, irrespective of the modality. The
reimbursement system in the country covers the ICU management fees of patients up to 14 days.
Considering CRRT’s clinical benefits, it is highly preferred over other renal replacement modalities in Japan.
For reimbursement, a fee-for-service system is adopted, in which a fixed fee (counted from the number of
points for each item of service) is paid toward the monthly bill from care providers.
Argentina: Access to RRT is universal, and all patients have a healthcare provider. A majority of
patients are covered by PAMI (Argentina's state-funded medical care system); less than 5% are
in the private system (Source: Perit Dial Int February 2009 vol. 29 no. Supplement 2 S222-
S226)
Brazil: The public health system universally covers around 90% of RRT patients. In Brazil, CRRT
reimbursement is paid in a fee-for-service structure.
Central America and the Caribbean: In a few countries, such as in Guatemala, the reimbursement
system allows universal access to RRT through social security. However, in most other
countries, reimbursement is limited and not well-defined.
In a majority of underdeveloped Middle Eastern countries, only a few renal patients are reimbursed by
private insurance companies.

Intermittent therapy (IHD and SLEDD) uses an online dialysate production system, whereas CRRT uses pre-
prepared fluids. Thereby, CRRT fluids are regulated differently as compared to other dialysis fluids in
various regions.

6.3.2 EUROPE
The European Medical Device Directives (CE) mark is required for the distribution and marketing of any
medical device (including CRRT) in the European (EU) region. The manufacturer must be certified by the
notified body to annex II, V, or VI of Medical Device Directives and comply with the requirements of these
directives. A certified body conducts a technical review, and if all requirements are met, a CE clearance
letter is issued permitting the sale of a particular CRRT product in Europe.
6.3.3 ASIA-PACIFIC
India:
In India, the manufacturing of hemodialysis bloodline sets requires the approval of the Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare. According to the ministry, CRRT bloodline sets/components are to be considered as
drugs under Section 3 (b) (iv) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. The regulatory policies for medical devices
considered as a drug are less stringent as compared to pharmaceutical and biotechnological moieties.
Also, all CRRT blood tubing sets and related devices should display the CE mark, which signifies
compliance with the requirements of the statutory Medical Device Directive and national (ISO 8638:2009)
as well as international standards.
China:
In China, approvals for CRRT sets and components are overseen by the State Food and Drug
Administration (SFDA), Ministry of Health (MOH), and the Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection
and Quarantine (AQSIQ). The two legal requirements for the approval of hemodialysis (bloodline) sets in
China include the SFDA registration and the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark. The SFDA provides
registration certificates for all CRRT components sold in China, and CCC applies to a broad range of
medical devices (including CRRT monitors) with electrical components for safety conformity.
Japan:
CRRT manufacturers must abide with Japan’s Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Law (PMDL). As per
PMDL, CRRT products are considered as Class III medical devices. The PMDL approval process for a new
product is time-consuming (can take ~5 years) and cumbersome.
South Korea:
Medical devices, including dialysis products, in South Korea are governed by the Korean Food and Drug
Administration [within the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MoHW)]. The legal framework of KFDA is based
on the medical device act no. 10564. Dialysis products should meet the requirements of the Medical
Devices Act and obtain registration with the KFDA before being sold in the country. If manufacturers do not
have a local business in the country, they need to appoint a Korean License Holder (KLH) for the
submission of product registration. KFDA often accepts clinical trial data for a particular renal product that
has been approved by any of the OECD countries.

Argentina:
Administracion Nacional de Medicamentos is the key authority involved in the regulation of medical
devices (including dialysis instruments) in the country. According to Administracion Nacional de
Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnología Médica (ANMAT) Disposition No. 5031/09, a particular medical
device is not allowed for sale in the country without a valid license. ANMAT Disposition No. 5267/06
requires the listing of dialysis products, manufacturers, importers, and distributors in the Register of
Producers and Medical Technology Products (RPPTM). ANMAT Disposition No. 191/99 specifies GMP
standards for dialysis products and applies to local and foreign manufacturers. Statutory review time is
180 days for all risk classes of medical devices, and the actual review timeline is approximately one year.
Marketing approval is valid for five years for a particular dialysis product in the country.
The approval of CRRT products in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea is similar to that of the U.S. FDA
approval process. On the other hand, the approval of CRRT products in countries such as Canada and
Australia is similar to that of the EU system.
In August 2015, a three-day CRRT training program was organized by the Philippine Heart
Center (PHC) in Quezon City, Philippines. This training program was aimed at preparing nurses
to competently provide care to patients with renal failure who are managed and treated using
CRRT.

In September 2015, the Wisconsin Nurses Association organized a CRRT course at the
University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. This one-day course was aimed to prepare ICU
nurses and clinicians to take care of patients receiving CRRT.
In June 2014, Gambro organized a CRRT training course titled “CRRT Review and Refresh” at
Los Angeles, California (U.S.). This training program for nurses and clinicians was aimed to
discuss basic CRRT principles; describe evidence-based practice; support research; and explain
a CRRT machine’s safety management features, pressure monitoring, as well as fluid balance
principles.
In January 2014, Aesculap Akademie GmbH (Germany) organized a five-day intensive training
program to provide technical and management skills and knowledge on handling and
troubleshooting CRRT machines to registered nurses in Taguig (Philippines)
The increasing demand for user-friendly CRRT machines is evident from the rising adoption of Nxstage’s
System one CRRT set across the globe. The growing acceptability of NxStage’s CRRT machine is primarily
attributed to its advanced features (no effluent collection needed), low maintenance requirements,
enhanced patient comfort, and ease of use for ICU nurses (high flexibility and simplicity) in acute settings.
On the other hand, B. Braun’s Diapact CRRT system is less preferred among nephrologists for AKI
treatment due to its complex features.
Previously, the usage of CRRT devices in children carried a risk of complications because of inaccurate
fluid balance (FB) between the volumes of ultrafiltrate (UF) removed and replacement fluid (RF) delivered.
Additionally, children are at a higher risk than adults for developing complications associated with CRRT
due to the difficulty of venous catheterization with the large-caliber catheters required for the technique.
Also, the large extracorporeal volume of the system (filters and lines) can result in complications. The newly
developed system for pediatric patients (CARPEDIEM) overcomes all these complications related to
pediatric CRRT.

and good services at the lowest cost due to the high costs involved in the purchase and maintenance of
CRRT systems.
Manufacturing expenses are a key criterion for the bargain margin that a manufacturer can offer. For
instance, Baxter International, Inc. provides a wide bargain margin for its machines as compared to
NxStage Medical, Inc.; however, the company does not offer discounts on tubing sets. On the other hand,
NxStage Medical, Inc. (no large margins as they do not have large facilities to manufacture their machines)
bargains on the cost of its blood tubing sets to a larger extent as compared to Gambro. In the U.S.,
previously, the sales of CRRT machines through manufacturers were mostly performed by charging the
cost of the machine on the disposables. However, due to recent changes in laws, sales are mostly done
along with disposables. In this scenario, manufacturers have to charge at least the manufacturing cost of
the machine along with disposables. If this is not followed, the government considers it as unfair business
practices and can sue the manufacturer for the same. For instance, Gambro has to charge a minimum of
USD 12,000 (manufacturing cost) to hospitals for its Prismaflex machine.
The type of agreement (with or without consumables/with or without a service agreement) is also a critical
determinant of the cost of CRRT products. Also, bulk purchases of machines and disposables from the
61

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
same manufacturer decreases the overall cost of products. Some manufacturers offer a service contract if
both machines, as well as disposables, are purchased from them. The average selling price (ASP) of CRRT
machines, at a global level, varies from USD 35,000 to USD 46,350 (Source: WHO). However, the ASP of
refurbished CRRT machines is ~30% to 40% less than new machines.
The ASP of CRRT machines can increase in the future with their growing adoption and the launch of new
user-friendly devices. Baxter is expected to launch a new CRRT machine, Prismax, in 2017. This product
will include an intuitive platform with a touchscreen and step-by-step automated instructions to simplify its
operation.

The cost of consumables, such as dialyzers and bloodline sets, is mainly dependent on the cost of raw
materials (such as PVC). Thus, consumable manufacturers do not have as much control over the cost of
their products. The cost of PVC is expected to witness a slight decrease over the next five years, which may
reduce the cost of consumables.
The cost of dialysate and replacement bags used in CRRT depends on the demand of a particular bag, type
of brand, and exclusive product feature. For instance, the cost of PHOXILLUM (the only FDA-approved pre-
mixed solution containing phosphate designed to facilitate electrolyte management during CRRT) is
expected to be USD 100 per case.

Manufacturers can attend and participate in nephrology conferences across the globe to build
visibility and presence; this will also help in the promotion of their CRRT products (awareness
among healthcare providers regarding the available CRRT products is low. Thus, this can be a
key factor to help increase revenue growth of companies from CRRT products).
Contact stakeholders and advertise products through social media campaigns and emails.
Interact with prominent personalities in the field (nephrologists/intensivists) and provide
presentations at hospitals to brief staff on product features. Manufacturers could also request
said personalities to refer their CRRT systems to hospitals.
Manufacturers can focus on the development of cost-effective miniaturized and wearable CRRT
devices as the high cost of the existing CRRT systems is a key factor limiting their adoption over
alternative treatment modalities available for AKI patients.
Manufacturers should focus on expanding their presence in emerging countries such as India,
China, Brazil, Taiwan, Mexico, and Indonesia, among other countries, as they are witnessing
substantial economic growth. Furthermore, these emerging countries are expected to offer
significant growth opportunities owing to their large patient population and improving
healthcare infrastructure.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
7.1 INTRODUCTION
Globally, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is gaining popularity for the management of AKI
patients in acute settings. However, wide variations regarding utilization and adoption of CRRT exist in
various countries. These variations are mainly due to:
Cost of labor (nurses and technicians): CRRT is a labor-intensive technique, owing to which
regions with low labor costs are shows higher adoption of CRRT as compared to regions with
high labor costs.
Procedural cost of CRRT in a region/country: The procedural cost of CRRT is significantly higher as
compared to other dialysis modalities such as IHD or SLEDD. This is mainly due to the higher
cost of filter sets and dialysates used in CRRT. Thus, regions with low cost of disposables are
more inclined towards the use of CRRT.
Reimbursements: Reimbursements play an important role in CRRT adoption owing to the high
costs involved. CRRT is mostly used in countries with a favorable reimbursement scenario.
Subsequently, its adoption is lower in countries with poor insurance coverage.
Dearth of substantial compelling evidence from controlled clinical trials regarding efficacy and
safety of CRRT
High procedural costs associated with CRRT as compared to traditional dialysis owing to the
high nursing as well as consumable costs in North America
65
July 2017 © MarketsandMarkets
CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
Most ICU patients for AKI treatment in North America are treated under the guidance of
nephrologists. In this region, nephrologists prefer modalities which have clinical evidence of
their efficacy and safety. Thus, the preference for dialysis is higher among nephrologists in
North America
IHD is preferred in ICU settings owing to higher material and nursing requirements in CRRT as
compared to IHD
Dearth of trained ICU nurses to operate CRRT machines
Unavailability (due to lack of FDA approvals) of anticoagulating agents such as (citrate) for
CRRT. This negatively affects the confidence of nephrologists regarding the safety of CRRT in
AKI patients
At present, no CRRT machine has been approved for the treatment of multiple indications,
which is not the case in other regions where these machines are approved for multiple
indications (renal and non-renal). As a result, hospitals in North America require significant
investments for the installation and maintenance of multiple CRRT machines

The median time for the treatment of patients using CRRT varies from region to region. For instance, in
South America, patients with AKI are treated with CRRT only for ~1.9 days; whereas, in Europe, patients
with AKI are treated with CRRT for a much longer period (~5 days). Likewise, several patterns for the
termination of CRRT exist across various countries. In most countries, CRRT is ended once the patient is
out of danger, post which the patient is switched to IHD. This is primarily done due to the high cost of CRRT
and improvements in patient condition (to tolerate traditional dialysis modalities).

The rate of switching from CRRT to IHD is the highest in Asia due to the poor reimbursement scenario, high
procedural costs, and dearth of trained nurses for effective management of CRRT. On the other hand, the
rate of switching is the lowest in Europe and Australia due to the high preference of nephrologists and
intensivists in these regions towards CRRT as compared to other dialysis modalities. Moreover, the
favorable reimbursement scenario and the presence of trained ICU nurses are also other major factors
supporting this trend.

In 2016, Europe had the highest number of CRRT patients across the globe. This is primarily due to factors
such as the rising incidence of AKI in Europe, use of CRRT for non-renal indications, and high adoption of
CRRT for the treatment of AKI patients in this region. On the other hand, the number of CRRT patients is
expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the Asia-Pacific region during the next five years. This is majorly
due to the rising patient population, high use of CRRT in Australia and Japan, rising healthcare expenditure
on renal diseases, and increasing access to CRRT for the treatment of AKI.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
Since CRRT is a continuous process, it requires larger volumes of dialysates and replacement fluids than
intermittent hemodialysis. This high volume requirement of dialysates and replacement fluids, along with
the high cost of these components, is a key factor driving the growth of this product segment in the overall
CRRT market. The development and commercialization of novel renal replacement solutions are another
key factors supporting market growth. In January 2015, Baxter received FDA approval for its Phoxillum
renal replacement solution. These solutions can be used as replacement solutions during CRRT
procedures to correct electrolyte and acid-base imbalances. After the acquisition of Gambro, Baxter is the
only player in the market with FDA-approved CRRT fluids (PrismaSol and Phoxillum) for blood infusion.
Thus, the core competency of a particular company related to CRRT products will act as a key parameter
for success in the market.
The demand for CRRT for the treatment of hemodynamically unstable patients has also increased
significantly over the years. A major advantage of CRRT in hemodynamically unstable patients is the ability
to adjust substitution fluid and dialysate fluid compositions to achieve the desired change in plasma
composition, depending on the clinical condition of the patient. This adjustment process is further
expected to increase the volume of dialysate fluids utilized in CRRT procedures.
However, CRRT is a highly complex procedure, and maintaining a balance between dialysate buffers and
replacement fluids further intensifies the complexity of the technique. Also, the cost of dialysate and
replacement bags used in CRRT depends on the demand of a particular bag, type of brand, and exclusive
product feature. For instance, the cost of Phoxillum (the only FDA-approved pre-mixed solution containing
phosphate to facilitate electrolyte management during CRRT) is expected to be USD 100 per case. Hence,
the high cost of dialysates is one of the major factors restraining the growth of this market segment.
Product recalls by various regulatory bodies and manufacturers are also expected to negatively impact
market growth. In May 2016, Baxter International Inc. (U.S.) initiated a Class 1 recall for its PrismaSate
BGK2/0 dialysis solution for CRRT. The recall was carried out owing to the presence of leaks near the top
of the PrismaSate bags. In May 2012, the FDA initiated a Class 2 recall of PrismaSate, a dialysis solution
for CRRT manufactured by Gambro AB (Sweden), due to the product stability expiration.

8.1.2 DISPOSABLES
CRRT disposables include bloodline sets (tubing sets), hemofilters, and other disposables such as vascular
access catheters and CRRT accessories, including drainage bags (collection bags), ancillaries, stop cocks,
syringes, and priming solutions.
This product segment is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period due to the
rapidly growing requirement for disposables, especially bloodlines and hemofilters, in CRRT procedures.
Since CRRT is a continuous therapy, disposables are required to be replaced after every procedure,
depending on the circuit shelf-life. The circuit shelf-life of a CRRT system depends on the type of
anticoagulant (heparin or citrate) used; around 2 to 3 bloodlines are required in a single CRRT procedure
lasting ~35 to 45 hours.
The hemofilters segment accounted for the largest share of the CRRT disposables market in 2016 and is
expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The large share of this segment can be
attributed to the development of novel hemofilters and their increasing use in CRRT procedures.
Additionally, the rising adoption of catheters for vascular access, which is one of the basic requirements to
perform any extracorporeal therapy, also acts as a major driver for the growth of this market.

In 2017, Japan is estimated to account for the largest share of 37.8 % of the CRRT disposables market in
Asia-Pacific. This market is projected to reach USD 47.6 million by 2022 from USD 31.8 million in 2017, at
a CAGR of 8.4% from 2017 to 2022.
8.1.2.1 Hemofilters
Hemofilters, or artificial kidneys, are one of the major components in a CRRT system. These filters usually
contain a semipermeable membrane in a hollow-fiber design. This design enables blood to flow inside the
hollow fibers and, at the same time, allows the dialysate to flow outside the fibers. The membrane type and
surface area help to determine solute and fluid removal during a CRRT procedure.
The hemofilters market is mainly driven by the development of new hemofilters and the rise in the number
of CRRT procedures. Additionally, the growing focus of manufacturers on expanding their distribution
channels is expected to help generate more sales for hemofilters. In 2014, Toray Medical Company
Limited (Japan) entered into a distribution agreement with Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA
(Germany) to market and sell TORAYMYXIN (an acute blood purification device) and PMMA hemofilters in 8
European countries (Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech
Republic).
Furthermore, a large number of clinical studies are currently underway to understand the effects of
hemofilters on anticoagulating agents during CRRT procedures in critically ill patients. For instance, in
75

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
January 2015, Peking University First Hospital (China) initiated a research study to establish the safety and
efficacy of heparin-coated surface-treated polyacrylonitrile membrane hemofilters in patients with AKI. In
March 2013, Zhongda Hospital (China) started a clinical study to evaluate the effects of the AN69 ST
hemofilter on coagulation during CRRT in critically ill patients. The positive outcomes obtained from these
studies are expected to result in an increase in the demand for hemofilters in various CRRT procedures.
However, the high cost of hemofilters, coupled with complications such as clotting of filters and
thrombocytopenia associated with their use during CRRT procedures, is restraining the growth of the CRRT
hemofilters market. According to a clinical study published by The International Journal of Artificial Organs
in October 2013, hemofilters used in CRRT may contribute to the development of thrombocytopenia by
destroying or retaining blood platelets during passage. Annually, excessive anticoagulation leads to
deterioration and clotting of filters in 5% to 26% of CRRT treatments worldwide (Source: A Study Published
by Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, June 2005).
Additionally, hemofiltration is not sufficient for the treatment of severe lactic acidosis, which is very
commonly developed by AKI patients. This further limits its adoption in patients with severe lactic acidosis.
According to a study published in the Clinical Kidney Journal in August 2015, CRRT alone is not
recommended for AKI patients with severe lactic acidosis as hemofiltration is not effective for the
management of severe lactic acidosis.
On the other hand, clotting is a major complication associated with the use of bloodline sets in CRRT
procedures. Its circuit life mainly determines the procedural time and cost of CRRT. The circuit of CRRT
consists of bloodlines and hemofilters. However, in many cases, the CRRT circuit gets clotted before its
optimal shelf life due to the complexity of therapy and improper use of anticoagulants, which leads to an
increase in procedural costs and decrease in the adoption of CRRT among AKI patients. Thus, in the
coming years, the development of blood tubing with special coding to prevent clotting will unfold new
growth opportunities in the CRRT market.
Technical complications associated with the use of catheters during CRRT procedures, such as catheter
and circuit kinking and line-catheter disconnection, which may limit its adoption for pediatric patients. This
is a major factor hindering the growth of this market.

8.1.3 SYSTEMS
CRRT systems consist of monitors, blood & fluid pumps, and user-friendly interfaces to perform procedures
on critically ill patients. These systems are automatic, and multifunctional blood purification equipment is
used for continuous solute and fluid removal in critically ill patients suffering from acute kidney failure and
fluid overload. Ideally, a CRRT system should have the following functions:
Many leading players in the market are increasingly focusing on developing and commercializing innovative
and technologically advanced CRRT systems. The availability of technologically advanced, easy-to-use,
safer, and more efficient CRRT systems will, in turn, boost the adoption of CRRT among healthcare
providers. This is evident from the number of product launches in recent years.
May 2017: Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan) developed a new system for CRRT—Kibou, a
multifunction system with advanced features which enables dynamic prescription and reduces
the nursing load.
November 2016: B. Braun Melsungen AG (Germany) introduced OMNI, a new device for CRRT,
which provides improved user interface, diminishes downtime, and optimizes renal dose
delivery.
May 2015: Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (Germany) launched multiFiltratePRO. This
new system is featured with a large touch screen monitor (which comprehensively displays all
required information), fully integrated fluid heaters (that manages required fluid temperature),
and Care-Mode function (which prevents unnecessary alarms to allow easy mobility).
September 2013: NxStage Medical, Inc. (U.S.) updated the NxStage System One the Dosing
Calculator, which is designed to be used with the system. This online tool enables physicians to
develop prescriptions as per the patients' clinical and lifestyle requirements.
Various CRRT system manufacturers are also focusing on establishing strong distribution networks to
market their products across the globe. This enables the key players to increase their customer base
across the globe and thereby increase revenue growth from CRRT products. For instance, in April 2013,
NxStage Medical, Inc. (U.S.) established a direct sales model with the formation of a subsidiary—NxStage
Medical UK, Ltd.—in the U.K., to market its System One and other related CRRT products across the
country.
The rising adoption of CRRT for the treatment of AKI patients and clinical advantages of CRRT over
intermittent hemodialysis techniques are some of the other factors driving the growth of the CRRT systems
market. Additionally, nephrologists are prescribing CRRT with an increasing level of confidence due to its
short- and long-term benefits, taking into account studies that support its success in treating critically ill
AKI patients who are hemodynamically unstable. Moreover, the rising adoption of CRRT for pediatric
patients owing to the capability of these systems in volumetric balancing during therapy is also expected to
increase demand. According to a clinical study published by The International journal of Artificial Organs in
77
July 2017 © MarketsandMarkets
CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
April 2014, in lighter pediatric AKI patients, CRRT systems deliver accurate ultrafiltration over prolonged
periods of time.
However, the procedural cost of CRRT is significantly higher as compared to other alternative modalities
available for treatment of AKI such as IHD or SLEDD. This is one of the major challenges for the adoption of
CRRT systems worldwide. The impact of this challenge is more in developing countries owing to lower
accessibility towards CRRT systems, high installation and maintenance costs, and poor reimbursement
scenario in developing countries for CRRT procedures.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
KEY FINDINGS
The CVVH modality is estimated to account for the largest share of 51.9% of the global CRRT
market in 2017. This market segment is projected to reach USD 796.0 million by 2022 from
USD 567.0 million in 2017.
The large market share of the CVVH segment is primarily due to the wide adoption of this
modality among healthcare providers owing to its wide range of advantages over other CRRT
modalities.
The CVVHDF modality, on the other hand, is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the
global CRRT market. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast
period.
The high growth rate of the CVVHDF segment can be attributed to its flexibility as compared to
SCUF, CVVH, and CVVHD. The CVVHDF modality also combines the benefits of convection and
diffusion for the removal of solutes, which is another major factor supporting market growth.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Based on modality, the continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) market is segmented into slow
continuous ultrafiltration (SCUF), continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), continuous venovenous
hemodialysis (CVVHD), and continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). These blood purification
modalities differ significantly based on the mechanism of solute transport, type of membrane, type of
vascular access, and presence/absence of dialysates.
The selection of a particular CRRT modality depends on the physician’s preference and the patient’s
needs.
The CVVH segment is estimated to account for the largest share of 51.9% of the global CRRT market in
2016. The large share of this segment can primarily be attributed to the widespread adoption of this
modality among critical care providers because of its superior removal performance for high-molecular-
weight solutes as compared to other CRRT techniques. CVVH is also an ideal approach for patients with
severe renal impairment with a need to increase or maintain fluid volume status.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
CVVH is widely used in application areas such as in fluid overloads, congestive heart failure, acute renal
failure, crush syndrome, and lactic acidosis. The amount of fluid collected in the effluent bag is equal to
the sum of the amount of fluid removed from the patient and the volume of replacement fluids
administered. However, as large fluid volumes are removed, this therapy may result in volume contraction,
loss of electrolytes, and hypotension.
The large share of the CVVH segment is primarily due to the widespread adoption of this modality for the
treatment of AKI due to the high filtrate flow in CVVH that enhances the performance of solute removal. As
per a study published by the Canadian Respiratory Journal in May 2014, 61% of intensive care units (ICUs)
in the U.K. utilize CVVH as a first-line therapy for the treatment of AKI. Similarly, according to a survey by
Intensive Care Medicine (September 2007) in 54 ICUs across 23 countries across the globe, CVVH is more
commonly used than CVVHDF for the treatment of AKI due to its wide range of advantages that result in
superior outcomes.
One major advantage of CVVH is that solutes can be removed in large quantities while easily maintaining a
net zero or even a positive fluid balance in the patient. This flexibility makes CVVH an ideal approach for
patients with severe renal impairment who need to increase or maintain their fluid volume status.
Additionally, its effectiveness in removing big molecules while maintaining a positive fluid balance in
patients and a large number of ongoing research studies and clinical trials to establish the safety and
efficacy profile for CRRT products are further stimulating the growth of the global CVVH market. CVVH is
also very effective in clearing medium-sized molecules such as inflammatory cytokines. It increases the
clearance of medium-to-larger molecules compared to CVVHD, which in turn successfully reduces the
effects of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The removal of such mediators may play a role in
improving sepsis outcomes in patients. In line with this, CVVH in AKI patients with severe sepsis shows
considerably improved renal recovery compared to extended daily hemofiltration (EDHF) despite the
clinical condition of patients (Source: A clinical study published by Critical Care in April 2014).
CVVH also improves the survival rate of AKI patients with congestive heart failure and cardiorenal
syndrome compared to SCUF (Source: A clinical study published by Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis in
April 2017). This, in turn, increases CVVH adoption among AKI patients with congestive heart failure and
cardiorenal syndrome, and thereby drives market growth.
However, there is no significant difference in mortality rates for CVVH compared to other CRRT modalities,
which may negatively affect its adoption and thereby limit market growth. According to a clinical study
published by Critical Care in April 2014, which is based on the comparison between CVVH and EDHF, there
is no significant difference in mortality rate using both modalities. A study conducted by the Canadian
Respiratory Journal on a comparison between CVVH and CVVHDF also found that mortality rates in both
modalities are similar (Source: A clinical study published by Canadian Respiratory Journal in June 2014).
Also, CVVH requires a costly set of tubing systems with special hemofilters, which increases the overall cost
of the therapy. Thus, the high cost of the therapy may restrict market growth to a certain extent.

CAGR of 9.1% from 2017 to 2022.
Market growth can be attributed to the effectiveness of this modality in removing small and medium-sized
molecules. CVVHD is mostly used in patients suffering from acute renal failure and lactic acidosis. Slow
extended daily dialysis (SLEDD) is a viable alternative to CVVHD. However, SLEDD is less expensive than
CVVHD; this factor has reduced the adoption of CVVHD among AKI patients in budget-constrained
hospitals. CVVHD is also not sufficient for clearance of medium to larger molecules and does not provide
support for reducing the effect of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in AKI patients, which could
restrain its adoption and thereby limit the market growth to a certain extent.

In 2017, Japan is estimated to account for the largest share of 36.2% of the Asia-Pacific CRRT market for
CVVHD. This market is projected to reach USD 14.1 million by 2022 from USD 10.0 million in 2017, at a
CAGR of 7.0% from 2017 to 2022.
The small market share of this segment is mainly due to its very low adoption owing to insufficiencies in
waste clearance considering the severity of patients.
However, SCUF does not use dialysates or replacement fluids for the removal of excess fluid from the
bloodstream; thus, fluid overload without uremia is the main indication for the application of SCUF. It also
reduces pressure on the body (particularly on the heart). Its increasing use in resolving fluid overloads,
pulmonary edemas, and congestive heart failure is the key factor driving the growth of the global SCUF
market. Furthermore, the ultrafiltrate utilized in SCUF is typically low, which helps in maintaining the
stability of a patient’s vital signs and does not have any major side effects.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
KEY FINDINGS
The European CRRT market is estimated to command the largest share of 37.7% of the global
CRRT market in 2017.
The high share of this regional segment can largely be attributed to factors such as the
increasing incidence of AKI due to the rapidly growing aging population, high utilization rate of
CRRT, and the increasing number of approvals for CRRT systems for multiple applications in this
region.
The Asia-Pacific CRRT market, on the other hand, is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR of
9.4% from 2017 to 2022 to reach USD 371.0 million by 2022.
Growth in the Asia-Pacific region is mainly due to the large AKI and ESRD patient population,
high utilization of CRRT in Australia and Japan, and improving healthcare infrastructure across
the Asian countries.
In 2017, North America is expected to account for the second-largest share of the global CRRT
market; it is projected to reach USD 443.3 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.7% during the
forecast period.

10.1 INTRODUCTION
In this report, the global CRRT market is divided into four major regions, namely, North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW), with each region studied further at the country level.
In 2017, Europe is estimated to account for the largest share of 37.7% of the global CRRT market, followed
by North America with a share of 29.3%. The large share of the European market can be attributed to the
increasing cases of acute kidney injury (AKI) and widespread use of CRRT in the region.
Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the third-largest share of 21.6% of the global CRRT market in 2017.
The demand for CRRT products in the APAC is growing primarily due to the high use of CRRT in Australia
and Japan and the rising number of AKI and ESRD patients in APAC countries. The Asian and Latin
American countries represent the fastest-growing regional markets for CRRT.

European regulatory policies are less stringent as compared to their North American counterparts; this has
expedited the launch of CRRT devices in Europe. The Prisma System, which was launched in Europe in
1995, was released in the U.S. two years later (Offered by Baxter International, Inc, U.S.). The Prismaflex
System, a next-generation CRRT system, was introduced in 2004 in Europe and 2005 in the U.S.
As per an online survey conducted by Matthieu et al. on members of the European Society of Intensive
Care Medicine in January 2013, of a total of 272 intensivists (218 from Europe, 54 from other continents),
50% preferred using both intermittent hemodialysis and CRRT, but 88% preferred using CRRT (Source:
Haymarket Media, Inc.). Additionally, the rate of switching from CRRT to IHD is lowest in Europe and
Australia, due to the high preference for CRRT, favorable reimbursement scenario, and the presence of
trained ICU nurses for the procedure. This has ensured a steady and growing demand for CRRT in Europe.
Many domestic and international manufacturers are also focusing on building their distribution channels
for CRRT products in Europe. In September 2014, Toray Industries, Inc. (Japan) entered into an agreement
with Fresenius Medical Care to exclusively distribute its acute blood purification devices (such as
TORAYMYXIN) and CRRT devices (such as PMMA hemofilter) in eight European countries.
However, the systemic anticoagulation complications remain a major challenge to the wider application of
CRRT, as this complication exposes the critically ill to the risk of active bleeding episodes.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
The CVVH segment is estimated to account for the largest share of 51.1% of the European CRRT market in
2017. This segment is projected to reach USD 270.4 million by 2022 from USD 210.1 million in 2017, at a
CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.
10.2.4 GERMANY
Germany is estimated to account for the largest share of 35.9% of the European CRRT market in 2017. Its
large share can be attributed to the growing number of AKI cases in the country, growth in the aging
population and life expectancy, the increasing demand for dialysis services, favorable reimbursement
scenario, and the development and commercialization of advanced CRRT products by leading players in
Germany.
Likewise, in May 2012, Gambro (now a part of Baxter) entered into a partnership with Novalung GmbH
(Germany) to launch a new therapy to address the unmet medical needs in the field of CO 2 removal in
ICUs. The partnership enabled the integration of Novalung’s unique membrane gas exchange technology
into Gambro’s Prismaflex platform. This enabled Baxter to add a CO2 removal technique to its CRRT
platform.
Moreover, leading players are increasingly focusing on expanding their CRRT offerings as well as
production capacities in Germany, for which they have adopted various organic and inorganic growth
strategies. In May 2012, Asahi Kasei Medical and NxStage concluded an agreement that helped both
companies to expand their production capacity for dialyzers in Germany, by combining the polysulfone
hollow-fiber membranes of Asahi Kasei Medical and the assembly technology of NxStage. This agreement
enabled both companies to expand their strategic alliance further and build on their well-established
partnership in the renal care (including CRRT) market.
The presence of favorable reimbursement policies has served to accelerate the adoption of CRRT over
alternative modalities. Subsequently, this can be expected to drive the growth of the German CRRT market
in the coming years.

a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.
10.2.5 U.K.
The U.K. is estimated to account for 21.2% of the European CRRT market in 2017. It is projected to grow at
a CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing incidence of AKI cases and
growing adoption of CRRT for the treatment of AKI in the country.
The U.K. is a relatively lucrative market for CRRT product manufacturers as even smaller companies can
easily penetrate this market. This is because only 72 NHS trusts coordinate kidney care in the U.K.; this
allows manufacturers to cover the entire country with a smaller sales force efficiently. The country also has
favorable reimbursement policies for the treatment of AKI.
To leverage growth opportunities in the U.K., many of the key players in the CRRT market are adopting
organic strategies for growth, such as the establishment of strong marketing and distribution channels.
NxStage, for instance, established a direct sales model in the U.K. that helped it market its System One
and other related products directly through its subsidiary, NxStage Medical UK, Ltd., in the country.

10.2.6 FRANCE
France is estimated to account for 21.2% of the European CRRT market in 2017. The growth of the market
in France is mainly driven by the increase in the AKI patient population and aging population and the
presence of a large number of critical care units in the country. In 2012, there were more than 70,000
ESRD patients in France, including ~37,000 patients on dialysis (Source: ERA-EDTA, Issue 3/May 26,
2012).
Additionally, in France, the government pays the entire treatment cost of dialysis, which increases the
affordability of treatment, thus driving the growth of the CRRT market in the country. However, the growth
of the CRRT market in France is limited due to variations in reimbursement policies (the reimbursement of
kidney treatment in France is dependent on provider type, location, and treatment mode).

Spain’s favorable reimbursement policies are a key factor driving the growth of this regional market.
Spain’s National Health System provides insurance coverage for up to 95% of its population. Additionally,
there is no cost to patients for the treatment of renal diseases in the country (Source: J Nephrol 2011;
24(04): 438-445).
A number of research projects and clinical trials to understand the efficacy of CRRT products are currently
underway in the countries mentioned above. In May 2013, Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge (Spain)
initiated a clinical trial to understand the impact of a continuous dialysis technique associated with
increased adsorption membranes in severe septic patients with AKI. Likewise, in February 2010, University
Hospital, Ghent initiated a research study—The Influence of Fluid Removal Using Continuous Venovenous
Hemofiltration (CVVH) on Intra-abdominal Pressure and Kidney Function. It aims at performing a feasibility
check to use CVVH for fluid removal in patients with IAH, fluid overload, and AKI. It also intends to ascertain
whether the use of CVVH for fluid removal will have a beneficial effect on organ dysfunction as compared
to CVVH without fluid removal.
In Eastern Europe, the number of AKI patients is growing at a high rate. This is mainly due to the ongoing
economic recovery in the region, huge patient population base, increasing awareness among healthcare
providers, rising geriatric population, and growing focus of global players on this market. However, despite
impressive recent progress, much remains to be done in such countries in terms of healthcare
infrastructure development and reimbursement provision for the full utilization of CRRT modalities.
Moreover, the shortage of proper healthcare for acute settings, the high procedural cost of CRRT as
compared to IHD, and poor reimbursement systems in some RoE countries such as Poland and Hungary
are restraining the growth of the CRRT market in this region. An acute shortage of adequate dialysis
facilities to address the huge patient base is the main factor restraining the growth of the Russian CRRT
market. There were only two dialysis centers per 1 million people in Russia in 2011, around three times

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
AKI prevalence in North America increased from ~0.2% to ~2.4% from 1999 to 2011. However, the
number of AKI patients undergoing dialysis in the region decreased from ~6.1% to 1.8% during the same
time period (Source: United State Renal Data System, USRDS). Additionally, it is estimated that there are
over 200,000 cases of acute kidney failure in the U.S. each year (Source: NxStage Annual Report, 2013).
Thus, the growing number of AKI cases, coupled with the increasing use of CRRT (due to decreasing use of
other dialysis modalities) for AKI treatment is fueling the growth of the North American CRRT market.
Sepsis is the primary cause for AKI in North America. It is estimated that more than 1,000,000 cases of
sepsis are registered among hospitalized patients each year in the U.S. (Source: Expert Rev Anti Infect
Ther., author manuscript). According to the National Surviving Sepsis Campaign, sepsis causes 210,000
fatalities every year in this region.
North America is also notable for its rapid adoption of technologically advanced products. This has
stimulated the influx and introduction of new instruments in the North American CRRT market, as key
manufacturers focus on capitalizing on the opportunities offered by this high demand. In addition, a
number of training programs have been carried out by both private and public bodies in the region. For
example, in September 2015, the Wisconsin Nurses Association organized a CRRT course at the University
of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics to prepare ICU nurses and clinicians to take care of patients receiving
CRRT. Additionally, in June 2014, Gambro organized a training course (CRRT Review and Refresh) in Los
Angeles (U.S.) to discuss basic CRRT principles, describe evidence-based practice, support research, and
explain the safety management features of CRRT machines to medical personnel. Such programs help
create awareness about CRRT instruments and technologies in the region.
The high cost of CRRT, as compared to IHD and SLEDD, hinders its adoption in North American ICUs. For
instance, the average daily cost for SLEDD is ~USD 240, as compared to ~USD 440 for CRRT. Additionally,
the cost of CRRT can range between ~USD 2,676/week and ~USD 3,924/week (CAD 3,486/week and
CAD 5,117/week), whereas the cost of IRRT is estimated to be ~USD 1,029/week (CAD 1,342/week)
(Source: Srisawat et al. Critical Care 2010, 14:R46).
In North America, CRRT is usually prescribed by nephrologists as opposed to intensivists in other countries
such as Germany, Australia, and Japan where CRRT is prescribed by intensivists in ~85% of AKI cases as
compared to 25% in the U.S. (Source: Blood Purif 2016;42:224-237).

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
The CVVH segment is estimated to account for the largest share of 51.5% of the North American market in
2017. This segment is projected to reach USD 226.5 million by 2022 from USD 164.9 million in 2017, at a
CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period.
10.3.3 U.S.
The U.S. is estimated to account for the largest share (~91.0%) of the North American CRRT market in
2017. Market growth in the U.S. is primarily driven by the growing prevalence of AKI and rising aging
population in the country.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent approximately USD 430 million on research on kidney
disorders, including AKI, in FY 2015 (Source: United States Government). In September 2013, the National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases renewed a grant shared by the University of
California and the University of Alabama at the Birmingham School of Medicine (U.S.) to expand its
research into AKI. Favorable government support for AKI treatment and research is expected to support the
growth of this market in the coming years.
A new payment structure announced by the U.S. CMS is also expected to help drive the use of CRRT. It
provides reimbursement on a per-treatment basis irrespective of the modality or place of treatment used
by AKI patients. Given that ESRD facilities were authorized to treat AKI patients (as of January 2017), this
is expected to increase access to AKI treatments for patients—including CRRT.
According to an editorial published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) in June 2012,
the incidence rate of AKI was 2.1 per 1,000 population in the U.S. It is estimated that over 200,000 cases
of AKI are reported in the U.S. each year (Source: NxStage Annual Report, 2013). The Kidney Health
Initiative (KHI) also reported that the AKI patient population has doubled in the last decade in the U.S.
Further increases in the prevalence of AKI, coupled with the growth of the U.S. geriatric population, will
boost the use of CRRT and thereby help market growth.
10.3.3.2 New product development to boost the demand for CRRT products
Continuous technological advancements in CRRT products by domestic market players and the high
adoption of new technologies in the U.S. market are other factors stimulating the growth of the CRRT
market. For instance, in January 2015, Baxter obtained FDA approval for its Phoxillum solution for
electrolyte management during CRRT. Hypophosphatemia is a common electrolyte disturbance that occurs
in patients undergoing CRRT and Phoxillum is the only FDA-approved pre-mixed solution comprising
phosphate. Phoxillum is designed to facilitate electrolyte management during CRRT by allowing the use of
a single type of solution across a wide clinical spectrum of AKI patients. Similarly, in April 2013, the FDA
cleared NxStage’s System One machine that eliminates the need for effluent collection.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
10.3.3.3 Ongoing clinical trials to prove the safety and efficacy of CRRT
products
The positive outcomes of a large number of ongoing research projects and clinical trials to establish the
safety and efficacy profile of CRRT will drive the adoption of CRRT products in the U.S. These ongoing
projects are focusing on a broad range of kidney-relevant topics, ranging from pharmacokinetics in patients
receiving CRRT to vascular access and lupus nephritis.
Collaborative approaches for research on the advancements in treatment therapies for AKI patients will
also contribute to the growth of CRRT demand. For instance, in September 2012, the American Society of
Nephrology (ASN) and the U.S. FDA established a public-private partnership called the Kidney Health
Initiative (KHI) to ensure high-quality care and patient safety as well as promote innovation in the
treatment of kidney diseases. Currently, KHI is running five projects through a collaborative partnership
with the kidney community (including the FDA, research institutes, pharma and biotech companies
(including dialysis organizations), and organizations of healthcare professionals and patients) (Source:
American Society of Nephrology).
Safety and TDM of Continuous Infusion Vancomycin through Continuous Renal Replacement
Therapy Solution was initiated in January 2017 to evaluate the safety of delivering continuous
infusion vancomycin in pediatric patients during CRRT.
Clinical Evaluation of Use of Prismocitrate 18 in Patients Undergoing Acute Continuous Renal
Replacement Therapy (CRRT) was initiated in September 2016 by Baxter Healthcare
Corporation (U.S.). This study aimed to determine the efficacy of new investigational CRRT
solutions, namely Prismocitrate 18, in terms of lengthening the extracorporeal circuit life in AKI
patients receiving CRRT.
Other factors limiting the growth of the U.S. market include reductions in healthcare spending, the
stringent regulatory scenario, time-consuming approval process, and the high procedural costs of CRRT in
the U.S. as compared to SLEDD and IHD.

a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.
10.3.4 CANADA
Canada is estimated to account for 9.0% of the North American CRRT market in 2017. This market will be
driven by the growing number of AKI and ESRD cases and high utilization rate of CRRT products. CRRT is
also cheaper in Canada than in the U.S. because the average nursing cost in Canada is less (~USD
15/hour). The payment for a particular CRRT procedure is made by the government depending on the type
of treatment, irrespective of duration. The low cost of treatment in Canada is a key factor driving the growth
of the country’s CRRT market.
Also, some organizations in Canada are actively raising awareness on AKI and its treatment among both
patients and doctors. The Kidney Foundation of Canada, for example, provides training and research
programs for AKI researchers through its KRESCENT program.
However, the fragmented nature of the Canadian market and the long sales cycles to hospitals make it
difficult for manufacturers to set up distribution networks for CRRT products. The distribution of medical
equipment in Canada is dominated by large distributors and international countries with strong sales
forces and marketing budgets. Due to this, a majority of Canadian manufacturers focus on exports to the
U.S.; products are mainly distributed through large and wholesale retail organizations in the country.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
The incidence of AKI in Canada is ~1.8 to 5.2 per 1,000 populations, which is very close to the incidence of
myocardial infarction in the country (The Kidney Foundation of Canada). Critically ill ESRD patients who
cannot tolerate traditional dialysis due to their hemodynamic instability opt for CRRT. In 2011, there were
~40,385 individuals living with ESRD in Canada, which was more than triple the number recorded in 1992
(Source: Canadian Institute for Health Information). Additionally, a study conducted by Health Canada at
five Canadian hospitals (including 603 patients) during a 30-day period found that 26.7% of ICU patients
developed AKI. This indicates that an increase in admissions to the ICU would also help the CRRT market
grow. More than 100,000 patients are cared for in Canadian ICUs each year, according to the Canadian
Intensive Care Foundation.
Ongoing research related to ascertaining the safety and efficacy profile of CRRT as compared to other
dialysis techniques in Canada is currently underway. The completion of these clinical studies with positive
results will further contribute to the adoption of CRRT products in Canada. In March 2012, the University of
Alberta (Canada) initiated a clinical trial study on “Intra-Operative Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
in Liver Transplantation: A Phase II Randomized Controlled Trial (INCEPTION).” This study aimed to
compare the use of CRRT during surgery with standard supportive care in patients with liver failure waiting
for liver transplantation.
The lack of a consistent, evidence-informed approach to the treatment of acute renal failure is problematic
because of the high cost of providing critical care. The provision of care to critically ill patients consumes a
disproportionate amount of healthcare resources. In the absence of evidence demonstrating the clinical
superiority of one modality compared with another, the choice between IHD and CRRT should be made on
the basis of cost-effectiveness rather than provider preference, convenience, or perceptions about the
benefits of each therapy.
The average cost (per hospitalization) of IHD and CRRT is ~USD 2,103 and ~USD 5,757, respectively, in
Canada. Given current CRRT usage rates of 26% to 68%, selectively funding IHD when either technology is
appropriate would save USD 2.1 million to USD 6.1 million in annual acute care costs across Canada.
Additionally, the benefit from CRRT is yet to be proven, in comparison to IHD. Therefore, the high costs of
CRRT as compared to IHD are negatively impacting the growth of the market.

10.4 ASIA-PACIFIC
In this report, the Asia-Pacific region is segmented into Japan, China, India, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific
(RoAPAC). This region is estimated to account for 21.6% of the global CRRT market and is expected to grow
at the highest CAGR of 9.4% from 2017 to 2022 to reach USD 371.0 million by 2022. This high growth
rate is mainly due to the rapidly increasing patient population, rising sepsis incidence, increasing
prevalence of hypertension and diabetes (which are the major causes of AKI), high use of CRRT in Australia
and Japan, improving healthcare expenditure on renal diseases, and increasing accessibility to CRRT for
AKI treatment.
The demand for CRRT products is growing in Asian countries at a higher pace due to rising awareness
about advanced medical treatment including CRRT and improving healthcare infrastructures. This has led
to the expansion of existing facilities and establishment of new ones in emerging Asia-Pacific countries.
The emerging nations including China, Brazil, and India will drive 45% of the ESRD patient growth over the
next five years. These nations are estimated to account for 33% of the dialysis population by 2020, which
highlights the need for governments to invest in ensuring accessibility and affordability of CRRT products in
this region.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
The Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (China) is planning to initiate a new clinical
study—“The Timing of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Initiation in Sepsis-associated
Acute Kidney Injury in the Intensive Care Unit” in January 2018. This study aims to observe the
impact of CRRT initiation timings on the therapeutic outcomes of the treatment modality.
In July 2012, Ruijin Hospital (China) initiated a clinical research, “Continuous Blood Purification
for the Regulation of Early Inflammatory Response In Severe Acute Pancreatitis” to evaluate the
effects of three treatment protocols (CVVH 6h, CVVHDF 6h, and CVVH 10h) for the first three
days in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients.
In October 2009, a research study titled “Randomized Evaluation of Normal versus Augmented
Level of renal replacement (RENAL)” was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. It
showed significant improvements in the survival rate for AKI patients when treated with CRRT in
ICUs. This study was conducted among 1,508 critically ill AKI patients through a multi-center,
randomized controlled trial across Australia and New Zealand. CRRT was adopted as the initial
therapy for AKI patients in the RENAL study. A lower-intensity group (CRRT dose of 25 mL/kg/hr)
or a higher-intensity group (CRRT dose of 40 mL/kg/hr) was randomly assigned to these
patients. The study showed that there were no significant differences between the lower-
intensity and higher-intensity CRRT groups, with respect to either renal recovery or mortality.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
10.4.4 JAPAN
The CRRT market in Japan is fully protected and dominated by local CRRT manufacturers, which makes it
difficult for foreign players to enter this market.
Japan is estimated to account for 38.0% of the Asia-Pacific CRRT market in 2017. This is primarily due to
the high preference for CRRT over other renal replacement modalities in the country due to its clinical
benefits in AKI patients and the availability of a 100% reimbursement by the Japanese government to
acute renal patients, irrespective of modality.
In Japan, the incidence of severe sepsis is increasing due to the growing elderly population (over the age of
60) as this age group has the highest risk of developing sepsis. The incidence of severe sepsis or septic
shock in the country is estimated to be around 380,000 cases annually (Source: Press Release of Eisai
Co., Ltd, January 25, 2011). In Japanese PICUs (pediatric intensive care units), the mortality rate was
~19% due to severe sepsis or septic shock (Source: National Pediatric Intensive Care Registry in Japan,
Volume 38, Issue 7/July, 2012). The high incidence of severe sepsis, coupled with the growing aging
population in Japan, will drive the CRRT market in the country.
In November 2014, Spectral Diagnostics Inc. (Spectral, Canada) announced that the analysis of the largest
Japanese registry data exhibited a remarkable reduction in the mortality rate of septic patients treated with
Toraymyxin (PMX). The outcomes and analysis were presented at the American Society of Nephrology,
which supported Spectral’s EUPHRATES trial design. This study was conducted by the University of Tokyo
(Japan) in support of the Japanese government. This research study evaluated the Japanese Diagnosis
Procedure Combination Database. It compared 1,116 patients with septic shock and treated with both
PMX and CRRT to 1,115 patients with septic shock treated with only CRRT. This showed that the PMX
treatment resulted in a significant reduction of ~25% in the mortality rate of septic patients.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
10.4.5 CHINA
China is the biggest user of CRRT products in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for a share of 22.5% of
the Asia-Pacific CRRT market in 2017. The increasing prevalence of AKI, coupled with the increasing
elderly population, large number of clinical research projects, and rising focus of key players on the market
are key factors driving market growth in China. Improving healthcare infrastructure in China further
supports market growth.
However, the Chinese CRRT market has a significant entry barrier—its cost-intensive and time-consuming
entry processes. The reimbursement scenario for CRRT is not well established in China—reimbursement
rates for RRT vary from 50% to 90% across regions with different socioeconomic statuses. Moreover, AKI
patients in the country opt for IHD instead of CRRT, owing to its lower procedural cost.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
In the last decade, the prevalence of sepsis has increased by 8% to 13% in Australia. The elderly show
higher susceptibility to sepsis. In Australia, around 17,000 cases of sepsis are reported each year, and
~50% of sepsis patients are aged 65 years or above. As the high incidence of sepsis in elderly patients
results in AKI, this will drive the growth of the CRRT market.
The increasing focus of leading players on expanding their CRRT business in Australia due to the high
utilization of CRRT products in the country is driving the growth of the CRRT market. Australia accounts for
the highest utilization of CRRT products primarily due to the perceived advantages of CRRT over IHD in
treating critical illnesses, such as increased hemodynamic stability and decreased vasopressor
requirement during fluid removal. Additionally, in Australia, the rate of switching from CRRT to IHD is the
lowest due to the high preference for CRRT by nephrologists and intensivists.
However, poor and inequitable health insurance rebates for renal dialysis provided by Australian insurance
providers is hampering the development of private dialysis services in Australia. Additionally, a dearth of
trained ICU nurses poses a key challenge to the growth of the CRRT market in Australia—the country
currently faces a shortage of ~600 critical care nurses (Source: The Australian Health Ministers Advisory
Council).
The large number of clinical trials undertaken by hospitals in this region (mainly in South Korea, due to the
low costs of conducting clinical trials in the region) for the development of safety and efficacy profiles of
CRRT products also aids in market growth. Yonsei University (South Korea) completed a clinical trial study,
‘The Predictors for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in Liver Transplant Patients’ in February 2013.
This study was focused on identifying perioperative factors that would identify patients at risk of AKI after
liver transplantation (Source: ClinicalTrials.gov). Likewise, in August 2015, Seoul National University
Hospital (Korea) completed a clinical study aimed at understanding the effects of high-volume CRRT in
patients with septic AKI.
The growth of the Korean market can be attributed to the availability of government reimbursements—90%
of the total cost of dialysis is reimbursed, irrespective of modality. Players are also focusing on the growth
opportunities in the region. Singapore also accounts for a significant share of the RoAPAC CRRT market.
This is due to the large number of ongoing research activities and the growing number of AKI patients.
Moreover, initiatives taken by the National Kidney Foundation to encourage adoption of CRRT for the
treatment of AKI are also contributing to the growth of the CRRT market in Singapore.
However, the high cost of CRRT treatment, poor reimbursement scenario across the region, and a dearth of
accessibility towards CRRT in most underdeveloped countries due to poor healthcare infrastructure are the
key factors hindering the growth of the CRRT market in these countries.

The growing focus of global players on the CRRT market in Taiwan is also propelling market growth.
Moreover, National Health Insurance (NHI) provides coverage for all expenses related to dialysis and
transplants. However, factors such as the high cost of CRRT and increasing medical expenses are the key
hindrances to the growth of the CRRT market in Taiwan.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
The reimbursement scenario for CRRT products varies from country to country in Latin America and the
Middle East, which is another major factor restraining the growth of the CRRT market in these regions. In
Latin America, reimbursements for RRT vary extensively. Only a few countries offer universal coverage
based on a public (Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay) or private healthcare system (Argentina). Some still have
major restrictions in terms of offering access to RRT (Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru). Most countries offer a
mixed system for dialysis reimbursement, with different shares attributed to private and public systems. In
Argentina, access to RRT is universal, and all patients have a healthcare provider. A majority of the patients
are covered by PAMI (Argentina's state-funded medical care system); less than 5% are in the public system
(source: Perit Dial Int February 2009 vol. 29 no. Supplement 2 S222-S226). In Brazil, CRRT is paid in a fee-
for-service structure. About 90% of RRT patients are universally covered by the public health system in
Brazil. However, in the UAE and other countries in the Middle East, only a few renal patients are
reimbursed by private insurance companies. This is due to the low healthcare expenditure and poor
socioeconomic status in these countries.
To leverage growth opportunities in this region, leading players are continuously focused on driving growth
through both organic and inorganic growth strategies. For instance, Baxter is highly focused on expanding
its CRRT business in Latin America and Asia-Pacific. This can be illustrated with its recent acquisition of
Gambro AB (Sweden) in December 2012. Through this acquisition, the company intends to expand
Gambro’s reach to the high-growth regions of Latin America.
Manufacturers are also conducting clinical trials in collaboration with universities and hospitals in this
region. In March 2012, the Royal Alexandra Hospital (Saudi Arabia) sponsored a clinical research study (in
collaboration with the University of Alberta and Gambro Renal Products, Inc.) to understand whether NAC
and continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration can be used early for the treatment of rhabdomyolysis to
reduce the chance of developing acute kidney failure.
However, the preference for IHD is greater in Latin America due to the high cost of CRRT, lack of awareness
regarding the benefits of CRRT over IHD, and the dearth of trained healthcare providers in this region. This
is expected to limit market growth to a certain extent.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
CRRT focus takes into account the revenue earned by a company from its CRRT business and the level of
engagement of a company (efforts taken by a company) for the growth of its CRRT business compared to
other business segments.
Key Findings
Baxter’s position in the matrix indicates that it has a high CI score and high CRRT focus. Its high
CI score is driven by the acquisition of Gambro, leading to a broad portfolio of CRRT products,
FDA approvals for these CRRT products, strong geographic presence, and high production
capacity.
The CI score and CRRT focus of B. Braun and Fresenius is a little below average, justified by B.
Braun’s limited and Fresenius’ lack of presence in the North American CRRT market and the
complex features of their products leading to low adoption.
NxStage’s CI score is less than that of Fresenius; however, it has a stronger focus on CRRT. This
can be attributed to the rising acceptability of its CRRT system (System One) and the significant
contribution by its acute care business to the total revenue.

CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY (CRRT) MARKET - FORECAST TO 2022
13 APPENDIX
“The global CRRT market was valued at ~USD 1,000 million in 2016, and is projected
to grow at a CAGR of ~7% to 8% in the next five years. This growth is primarily due to
the increasing number of AKI cases, growing number of ICU patients, and rising
adoption of CRRT for the treatment of renal patients.”
“Europe accounted for the largest share of ~35% to 40% of the overall CRRT market
in 2016. This is mainly due to the approval of CRRT systems for multiple applications
and the treatment of AKI patients under the guidance of intensivists who generally
prefer CRRT.”
“The CRRT market scenario is very different in Japan as compared to that of the U.S.
and Germany. The market in Japan is fully protected and highly dominated by
domestic CRRT manufacturers. This restricts the entry of international players in the
market in Japan.”
“There is no market for CRRT products in South Africa due to treatment lags for AKI
patients stemming from a lack of accessibility and affordability of CRRT products.”
