The research study analyzes the impact of some of the major market drivers such as the increasing cases of kidney disorders. More than 1 in 7, that is 15% of US adults or 37 million people, are estimated to have Chronic Kidney Disease (CDK). CKD affects people of all ages and gender; however, it is more common in the elderly population. In adults aged 64 and up, the prevalence is estimated to be 23–36% worldwide. It’s a global public health issue that’s linked to lower quality of life and shorter life expectancy in people of all ages.
Surge in demand for high-purity products, developments in biotechnology, life science, and healthcare industries and increasing demand for artificial organs are the other factors that are driving the market growth. In comparison to the number of donors donating organs, the number of patients requiring an organ transplant is steadily increasing. The demand for organ transplants is rapidly outpacing availability. As of August 2017, more than 116,000 people were on the waiting list for an organ transplant, according to the US Department of Organ Donation and Transplantation, with around 30% of those receiving a transplant. Although 95% of persons in the United States support organ donation, only 54% actually donate. Renal replacement therapy is in significant demand in the United States, Japan, Germany, Brazil, and Italy. Approximately 1.5 million of these two million persons require dialysis. Dialysis patients have an annual growth rate of greater than 7-8 percent. Medical membranes are in high demand as a result of this expansion. Other artificial organs, such as pancreases and liver, are also in high demand. Medical membranes are also being driven by the desire for artificial organs that utilize membranes.
However, the long in-process validation process, shorter lifespan of membrane, and regulatory barriers by the FDA seem to obstruct the market growth. Despite the high demand for medical products and devices, the FDA’s multi-layered regulations have created various regulatory impediments for companies. Manufacturers must submit performance data to the FDA for approval of every new medical product in the United States. The device is compared to a lawfully marketed device for the same use and with the same technological attributes in this process. As a result, the commercialization of medical membranes and medical goods is delayed due to the lengthy validation and certification process. Medical membranes used in a variety of operations are prone to fouling, after which they lose their effectiveness. Unwanted components such as iron, manganese, calcium, sulfate, and other ions create precipitates on the membrane surface during the treatment of pharmaceutical water or any filtration/purification procedure. The membrane’s characteristics are being harmed. As a result, the high maintenance cost of medical membranes is also limiting market expansion.
Technological Advancements in Medical Membrane generates profitable opportunity in the market
New membranes and biological membranes would be developed as a result of technological advancement in the market. Furthermore, the self-sufficiency rate of traditional membrane raw materials will be significantly improved; novel membrane materials, such as polymers with intrinsic microporosities (PIMs), organic framework (MOF/COF) materials, polymethylpentene (PMP), molecular-sieve membrane materials, polyarylene sulphide, and other special separation membrane materials, has been developed and corresponding technologies for preparing membranes and equipment is introduced by key manufacturers of medical membranes.
Hollow fibre membrane (HFM) is a new product of membrane technology, which is formed via the intersection of functional fibre material and separation membrane technologies. HFM is widely employed in biomedical fields, such as the designs of artificial kidneys (haemodialysis), artificial lungs (oxygenation membranes), separation of blood components, and the separation and purification of Chinese and Western medicines. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), well-known critical equipment for treating the cardiopulmonary system during the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019, has been researched, developed, and produced only by <10 manufacturers, such as Maquet Company (Germany), Medtronic Inc. (the United States), and Sorin Company (the United Kingdom).
Similarly, the applicability of the nanofiltration technique in new areas such as pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals has been extended by research & development of solvent-stable membranes. Nanostructure incorporation into polymeric membrane matrices to form nanocomposites membrane has become an important research area. For instance, porous nanocrystalline silicon membrane has been designed to pass middle molecular weight protein toxin while retaining albumin, mimicking the healthy kidney.
The 3M company combines decades of experience in membrane development and manufacture with deep knowledge of membrane module design and production. Spinning and make-up technologies, as well as polymer chemistry and biochemistry, are all covered by their membrane technology. They can deliver high-quality capillary and flat sheet membranes made of a variety of polymers, as well as modules adapted to the application’s specific needs because they control the design and construction. Membranes and modules are manufactured under cutting-edge conditions.
Growing demand for medical membranes in emerging countries
Geographically, the market for medical membranes is divided into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA). The market for medical membranes in emerging nations is being spurred by the requirement for ultra-pure water for pharmaceutical manufacture and hemodialysis. Emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and other developing countries offer enormous prospects for pharmaceutical manufacturers and dialysis treatment providers. The rising incidence of ESRD is driving up demand for dialysis goods and services in these nations. The need is also fueled by the aging population, rising diabetes, and hypertension rates, and increased awareness of kidney disease. Medical contract manufacturing is also becoming more popular in nations like India and China.
In China, the ERSD patients are increasing by 120 thousand each year, which requires more than 1.4 billion dollars for the maintenance of their survival and treatment. This has increased the demand for membranes used in hemodialysis.
Europe, on the other hand, is a global leader in pharmaceutical manufacture and demand for dialyzers. Its expansion is propelled by an increasing number of ESRD patients, improved diagnosis facilities, and the high incidence and prevalence of chronic conditions including diabetes and hypertension. Diabetes and hypertension were responsible for almost 60% of all ESRD cases in Europe.
Competitive Landscape
