Medical Membrane Devices: Markets and Technologies
Report Highlights
The U.S. medical membrane device market was valued at $2.1 billion in 2010 and is expected to be nearly $2.2 billion by the end of 2011. This market is forecast to grow to $2.9 billion by 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%.
SCOPE OF REPORT
Five-year projections for market activity and value are provided for the U.S. market. Industry structure, device applications and trends, pricing considerations, research and development (R&D), environmental influences, companies, and competitive technologies are included in the study.
To simplify and focus on the most promising and clearly relevant technologies, the study concentrates on existing and potentially major uses of the technology. The membranes used in medical devices work in tandem with other materials and processes, adding critical functionality and value. To clarify the dynamic, the report addresses the membrane component of each sector in context with the market dynamics of the overall technology. The report includes comparison of costs for various membrane materials and devices. Current and potential market players are identified and examined.

Report Highlights
- The medical membrane device market, which includes dialyzers, blood oxygenators, IV filters and blood/apheresis filters, is valued at nearly $2 billion in 2009 and is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% through 2014
- Sales of dialyzers and blood oxygenators and IV filters are primarily market-driven, while sales of blood/apheresis filters and diagnostic devices are principally technology-driven
- Sales of diagnostic devices continue to skyrocket. Applauded by managed care, a growing number of point-of-care (POC) and home tests are available for a host of new and existing applications.
Report Highlights
-
The medical membrane device market, including dialyzers, blood oxygenators, IV filters and blood/apheresis filters, is valued at nearly $1.8 billion in 2007 and is increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% to reach $ 2.3 billion in 2012.
-
The combined worth of market-driven devices is about $623 million, rising at a compound annual growth rate of 3.6%. More than 235,000 U.S. kidney patients require dialysis on an ongoing basis to maintain renal function. Growth in the hemodialyzer market is driven by an increasing patient population, the phaseout of reusable dialyzers and the discovery that nonmembrane home dialysis may be applicable to a broader target audience
-
Technology driven products, such as blood/apheresis microfilters and diagnostic devices, have a combined value of $1.1 billion, with a 6.2% CAGR. Sales of these products for the most part, are spurred by improvements in design and materials, and by new applications.
