Global Hydronephrosis Treatment Market Introduction and Overview

According to SPER Market Research, the Global Hydronephrosis Treatment Market is estimated to reach USD 5.86 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 8.46%.

The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Hydronephrosis Treatment Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The rising prevalence of kidney diseases, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a key factor driving market growth. Hydronephrosis treatment involves medical procedures to address kidney swelling caused by urinary tract blockages. Increased use of advanced imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans is enhancing diagnostic accuracy and supporting market expansion. CKD, influenced by factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, affects approximately 35.5 million U.S. adults, significantly contributing to the progression of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, Challenges in the hydronephrosis treatment market include high costs of advanced diagnostic tools and limited access to specialized care in low-resource settings. Additionally, delayed diagnosis and lack of awareness can hinder timely treatment and patient outcomes.

By Type:
The hydronephrosis treatment market is segmented into unilateral and bilateral types, with unilateral hydronephrosis holding a dominant revenue share. This segment's growth is driven by structural abnormalities in the urinary tract, such as ureteropelvic junction obstructions and ureteral strictures, which commonly cause unilateral kidney swelling. Additionally, differences in healthcare provider practices—including diagnostic methods, treatment strategies, and follow-up care—can influence the demand for treatment. These factors collectively contribute to the rising focus on managing unilateral hydronephrosis effectively.
By Indications:
The hydronephrosis treatment market is divided into intrinsic and extrinsic indications, with the intrinsic segment leading in revenue. This growth is driven by conditions like kidney stones, urinary tract infections, benign prostatic hyperplasia, pelvic tumors, and congenital abnormalities, which commonly cause hydronephrosis. Increasing sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, and higher consumption of processed foods contribute to the rising prevalence of these conditions. Consequently, lifestyle factors significantly influence the incidence of hydronephrosis-related diseases, fueling market expansion.

By Treatment:
The hydronephrosis treatment market is segmented into shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), laparoscopy, bladder catheterization, steroid therapy, and other treatments, with SWL leading in revenue and expected to grow significantly. Compared to surgical options like ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy, SWL offers less discomfort and quicker recovery, allowing patients to resume normal activities sooner. The rising global incidence of kidney stones, driven by factors like diet, dehydration, obesity, and metabolic disorders, is increasing demand for effective treatments such as SWL.

By Diagnosis:
The hydronephrosis treatment market is divided into laboratory tests and imaging, with imaging holding the largest revenue share. Imaging methods are generally non-invasive, making them the preferred choice for diagnosing hydronephrosis, particularly in pediatric and elderly patients or those with comorbidities who face higher risks from invasive procedures. Additionally, patients often favor imaging techniques for their comfort and convenience, which further boosts demand for these diagnostic tools in managing hydronephrosis.

By Age Group:
The hydronephrosis treatment market is categorized by age group into adult and pediatric segments, with the pediatric segment holding a significant share. Many pediatric cases are congenital, caused by structural abnormalities or urinary tract malformations present at birth, driving growth in this segment. Additionally, advancements in prenatal imaging and widespread prenatal screening enable early detection of hydronephrosis during pregnancy, allowing timely intervention and treatment planning, which further boosts demand for pediatric treatment options.



Regional Insights:
The North American hydronephrosis treatment market is experiencing substantial growth due to its well-developed healthcare infrastructure, including advanced hospitals, specialized clinics, and cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment technologies. Access to these resources improves the diagnosis and management of hydronephrosis, boosting treatment demand. Additionally, the region’s high prevalence of obesity and diabetes—key risk factors for kidney stones and urinary tract conditions—contributes to the rising incidence of hydronephrosis, further driving market expansion.

Market Competitive Landscape:
The global Hydronephrosis Treatment Market is highly consolidated. Some of the market key players are AbbVie Inc, Amgen Inc, The Anthem Group, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Nephrogenex Inc., Novartis AG, Pfizer Inc., Phraxis Inc., Renal Associates P.A., and Sanofi.

Recent Developments:
In June 2023, Novartis AG strengthened its focus on innovative medicines and its renal pipeline by acquiring Chinook Therapeutics. This acquisition is expected to enhance the company’s drug portfolio for kidney disease treatment.
