The renal biomarkers market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The renal biomarkers sector has experienced significant expansion in the past few years. The market size is forecasted to escalate from $1.28 billion in 2024 to a higher figure of $1.38 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.
Factors attributed to this surge during the historical timeframe include the rising incidence of kidney-related illnesses, advancements in medical diagnostic technology, an aging global population, enhanced understanding and implementation of early disease detection, utilization of point-of-care testing, and an uptick in chronic diseases.
The renal biomarkers market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of renal biomarkers is predicted to witness substantial growth in the coming years, expanding to a value of $1.91 billion by 2029 at an 8.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
This projected growth during the forecasted period can be attributed to factors such as the adoption of personalized and targeted therapies, the inclusion of biomarker testing in regular clinical procedures, rising markets in Asia and Latin America, non-invasive biomarker testing methods, and continual monitoring through wearable devices. Key trends observed during the forecast period encompass multiplex biomarker panels for in-depth disease profiling, application of AI and machine learning in biomarker discovery, reliance on biomarker-based companion diagnostics, point of care (POC) biomarker testing within home healthcare environments, and the use of biomarkers for early disease detection and prevention.
The increasing number of elderly and young renal patients is likely to boost the growth of the renal biomarkers market. Elderly renal patients are typically those over the age of 70 suffering from advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Meanwhile, young renal patients are those diagnosed with renal disorders during childhood and early adult years. Renal biomarkers are utilised to assess the extent of kidney damage in these two patient groups. For example, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency based in Australia, reported in June 2024 that mortality rates due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) saw an increase of 4.2% in 2021 and 6.2% in 2022. Consequently, the surge in the number of elderly and young renal patients is contributing to the expansion of the renal biomarkers market.
