The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney diseases due to lifestyle-related factors, the growing use of data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize dialysis treatment protocols, and the growing investments made by private healthcare organizations and providers are some of the major factors propelling the market.

Market Overview

The South Korea dialysis market encompasses medical procedures, supplies, equipment, medications, and services for the treatment of patients with acute kidney injury or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are all included in the South Korean dialysis market. As a replacement for impaired kidney function, dialysis helps patients with impaired renal function eliminate waste and excess substances while preserving fluid and electrolyte balance. Additionally, the need for dialysis services to manage kidney health is also being driven by the aging population, which is more vulnerable to the risk of chronic kidney disease. The market expansion is also being supported by the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics to optimize dialysis treatment protocols. By examining enormous volumes of patient data, these AI algorithms can anticipate problems, suggest tailored treatment modifications, and spot patterns, all of which enhance long-term results. In addition, the market is being positively impacted by the governing body's increasing support for healthcare spending and policies aimed at managing chronic diseases, such as dialysis subsidies.
