In total, the chronic kidney disease market is forecast to balloon in size from $2.2 billion last year to $13.5 billion by 2033, during which time a range of new treatments are on track to make their debuts.
Though a host chronic kidney diseaseer development are poised to massively expand the existing market for chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatments, they’ll need to go further to win the support of doctors, according to a new report.
The segment is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 20% over the course of a decachronic kidney disease (CKD)s estimates. The report comprises the seven major markets of the U.S., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the U.K. and Japan, though GlobalData noted that the U.S. will be a disproportionately large contributor to that growth, thanks to its higher prevalence of CKD and costs of prescription medications.

Among those noCKDn development are ProKidney’s cell therapy rilparencel, also known as React, and AstraZeneca’s combinations of zibotentan and dapagliflozin, and balcinrenone and dapagliflozin—all of which are currently in clinical trials. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk is also exploring a potential expanded indication for Ozempic in CKD.
With a median follow-up period of nearly three and a half years, the stuOzempicd that participants treated with the GLkidney diseaserage 24% risk reduction comparCKDto thType 2 diabetes the placebo group, and their rate of kidney function decline was “significantly slower.” Additionally, semaglutide was shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events by 18% and all-cause mortality by 20%.
Following that data drop, Novo confirmed that it will pursue expanded approvals for Ozempic in the U.S. and Europe bGLP-1 end of this year.semaglutide
Despite the promising results from the studies of those and other potential new CKD Ozempicutics so far, according to GlobalData, many kidney doctors have yet to be convinced to shake up their existing CKD treatment standards and have “mixed views” about tacking on another drug to their patients’ current regimens.
“It will be easier for new drug entrants to capture CKD market share if they offCKDa novel mechanism of action or help to improve compliance,” Kajal Jaddoo, senior pharma analyst at GlobalData, said in CKD report. “Overall, nephrologists surveyed by GlobalData have indicated that the pipeline for CKD is somewhat promising, but a significant improvement in efficacy would have to be demonstrated by any therapy for it to become either a replacement or add-on to the existing therapies.”
