Segments - Dialysis Chairs Market by Type (Manual, Electric, Hydraulic, and Others), End-user (Hospitals, Dialysis Clinics, Ambulatory Services, Home Care Settings, and Others), and Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global dialysis chairs market size was USD XX Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the surging cases of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Demand for dialysis chairs is anticipated to grow significantly, due to the increasing prevalence of CKD and rising awareness associated with the comfortable arrangements required for the dialysis process.
Dialysis chairs offer safe positioning to patients during the procedure, where they conveniently rest their arms, back, and feet. Advantages of using these specialty dialysis chairs and the growing number of kidney-related disorders are propelling their adoption, which is expected to boost the market in the coming years.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report titled Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States, 2023, around 14% of adults in the US have CKD. This accounts for around 35.5 million people. Rising number of cases is fueling the need for dialysis, which is projected to increase the demand for dialysis chairs.
The dialysis process involves filtering blood from the patient’s body, by circulating it through the dialyzer filter with dialysis solution and returning the filtered blood to the body. It is performed in two ways, which include hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Blood pressure of the body is monitored during the procedure to adjust the flow of blood.
Dialysis is a time-consuming process. Dialysis chairs facilitate comfort and convenience for patients. Many public and private CKD awareness programs are being organized by major healthcare companies and hospitals. This is likely to increase the number of dialysis centers and hospitals that provide dialysis treatments in the healthcare sector, which is projected to expand the sales of dialysis chairs.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic initially affected the dialysis chairs market, as many dialysis procedures were temporarily postponed, due to the conversion of hospitals into COVID-19 wards. The market registered significant growth, due to the high mortality rate of patients with existing kidney disorders and acute kidney injuries (AKI). This created high demand for dialysis chairs among dialysis patients in home care settings as well as in hospitals.
Rising cases of chronic diseases, such as kidney failure (renal failure), hypertension, and diabetes, are boosting the market. These conditions often require hospitalization and dialysis treatment. Use of dialysis chairs during treatment in hospitals or home care makes the process easy and safe for patients.
Comfortable seating and advanced settings provided in such chairs ease the dialysis process to a certain extent, hence boosting the adoption of these chairs. Increasing geriatric population with severe blood-related diseases is fueling the demand for a well-seated procedure to reduce complications while undergoing dialysis. This is further anticipated to boost the demand for dialysis chairs.
High cost of dialysis chairs is expected to restrain the market. Many healthcare professionals and hospitals use conventional methods of seating during the dialysis process, due to a lack of awareness about the benefits of specialty medical chairs. This factor affects the growth of the market. Furthermore, the lack of availability of these chairs in developing countries impedes the market.
Adoption of growth strategies, such as collaborations, partnerships, and acquisitions for product development and leveraging mutual strengths of the companies, is expected to create opportunities for the market players.
Such strategies are likely to help companies in the market to expand their global presence, improve products, and increase their production to meet the growing demands from healthcare facilities and private home care-dependent patients. For instance,
Increasing integration of advanced technologies in medical chairs for assistance during dialysis is projected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players. Furthermore, introducing cost-effective medical chairs in developing countries is likely to increase their demand in the coming years.

Based on type, the dialysis chair market is divided into manual, electric, hydraulic, and others. The manual segment is projected to expand at a significant growth rate during the forecast period, as it is a cost-effective alternative to other types of dialysis chairs. This type of chair offers controlled positioning of patients. Manual dialysis chairs offer high comfort to patients for a long duration of dialysis procedures.
The electric segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period, as it eliminates the need for manual work. It is an adjustable, high-quality, and automated chair with various settings. Electrical dialysis chairs are mainly used in home applications, where patients operate the chair independently, without the need for assistance. These chairs offer optimum comfort to patients, which fuels the segment.
On the basis of end-user, the global market is segregated into hospitals, dialysis clinics, ambulatory services, home care settings, and others. The dialysis clinics segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, due to the presence of a convenient and comfortable dialysis setting for patients.
Clinics have necessary equipment other than dialysis chairs, which helps in easily & effectively carrying out the dialysis procedure. The segment is fueled by the presence of numerous dialysis clinics & centers across the world, which help in the expansion of the market.
The hospitals segment accounts for a significant market share, due to the availability of a convenience of a hospital stay for patients. Several tests and checkups are performed in hospitals, which facilitate an effective dialysis procedure.
Dialysis chairs allow patients to rest and facilitate improved blood circulation during the dialysis procedure. The dialysis procedure is carried out under the supervision of doctors & experts at hospitals. These facilities provide a comfortable medium for dialysis patients by allowing them to move freely across various areas of the hospital, thus boosting the market.
In terms of region, the global dialysis chairs market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, due to the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure that promotes comfortable and safe dialysis surgeries in the region.
