• The United Kingdom Kidney Preservation Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 7.95 Million by 2035

According to a research report published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, the United Kingdom Kidney Preservation Market is anticipated to reach USD 7.95 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.20% from 2025 to 2035. The increasing prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), the increasing demand for transplantation of organs, and advancements in preservation technologies are some of the reasons propelling the market's expansion.

Market Overview

The United Kingdom kidney preservation market refers to the segmental business of the healthcare sector, with a focus on the kidney preservation market until transplantation. This focuses on the solutions, equipment, and techniques to maintain donor kidneys' viability from retrieval. This critical process aims to minimize damage to the organ, extending its usable life and increasing the chances of a successful transplant. Besides, the government is encouraging steps to take this to a higher scale, like the government's proposed NHS reform plan, groups like Kidney Care UK are pleading with legislators to make sure that individuals who have or are at risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). This critical process aims to minimize damage to the organ, extending its usable life and increasing the chances of a successful transplant. The growing awareness of the significance and security of live and deceased kidney donation has been facilitated by public health campaigns, media outreach, and non-profit campaigning, expanding the market.

Driving Factors

The market for United Kingdom kidney preservation is driven by the country's healthcare industry, with drastic growth and substantial investment made by key industry players in novel technology. The need for efficient preservation techniques is being driven by the rising number of patients awaiting kidney transplants. This demand is further fueled by the aging of the population, as kidney illness becomes more common among patients of the same age, expanding the pool of possible transplant candidates. Further, increasing awareness of kidney donation and transplantation is having a major impact on the preservation of kidney transplant organs.

Restraining Factors

There is some factor that could be disturbing the market expansion, like limited availability of donors in some cases or incidents, complexity in regulatory hurdles, high preservation expenses, and delayed permission in case of cross-border events.

Market Segmentation

The United Kingdom kidney preservation market share is classified into preservation and technique.

• The non-ferrous segment accounted for a significant share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period.

The United Kingdom kidney preservation market is divided by preservation solution into University of Wisconsin (UW), histidin-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution, Celsior solution, hypertonic citrate adenine (HC-A) solution, Institute Georges Lopez (IGL-1) solution, and others. Among these, the non-ferrous segment accounted for a significant market share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period. IGL-1 is a more recent solution that incorporates polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an impermeant and optimizes electrolyte balance in an effort to enhance current formulations. In addition to improved organ protection, this composition may improve graft function right after transplantation. IGL-1 may improve the early results of kidney transplants, according to studies.

• The normothermic machine perfusion segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

The United Kingdom kidney preservation market is classified by technique into static cold storage, hypothermic machine perfusion, normothermic machine perfusion, and other. Among these, the normothermic machine perfusion segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is because an oxygenated solution is infused into the kidney at body temperature, maintaining the organ's metabolic activity and even helping to repair some ischemia-reperfusion damage. A real-time evaluation of organ viability before transplantation is one of the technique's many benefits, which can improve results and lower the incidence of delayed graft function. NMP keeps the kidney healthy in the donor box for longer, giving transplant teams more time to make sure the kidney is in the best possible condition.
