Chronic kidney failure or end stage renal failure can be treated through two ways, a kidney transplant or dialysis. Dialysis is the artificial removal of the toxins and waste body fluids. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are two of the most common treatments for dialysis. Hemodialysis which is normally performed in the clinics is the most preferred treatment for dialysis.

Peritoneal dialysis remains the lesser preferred treatment. Peritoneal dialysis is a form of home based dialysis treatment. The home based dialysis consists of peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis, which is separate from the hemodialysis performed at the clinics. The home dialysis which is still a niche segment in dialysis is getting attention and experiencing growth, due to the technological advances and the convenience factor associated with it.

The dialysis market consists of the dialysis services and dialysis products. The services segment constitutes the major portion of the market. Dialysis services are mainly provided through the clinics and the ownership aspect of these clinics is an interesting factor. The ownership structure varies significantly among the government-owned and privately-owned clinics within different countries.

The dialysis providers rely on the government and the private payers for reimbursement of the services and the products they provide to the patients. There has been progress towards the bundling of services and products and reimbursing the amount on the basis of a composite rate.
