U.S. Kidney Preservation Market Trends
The U.S. kidney preservation market size was estimated at USD 21.2 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.97% from 2025 to 2030. The market growth is driven by several factors, including the rising incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. The increasing demand for kidney transplants also fuels market growth. Advances in preservation technologies, such as normothermic machine perfusion, enhance organ viability during transportation and storage. Government initiatives supporting organ donation programs further boost the market.
A major driver of the U.S. kidney preservation market's expansion is the consistent rise in deceased donor transplants, which has led to a greater need for reliable preservation solutions. For instance, according to the Organ Procurement & Transplantation Network (OPTN), the deceased donor transplants in the U.S. increased from 12,279 in 2014 to 22,074 in 2024. According to recent trends, the number of deceased donors has increased due to a combination of opioid-related deaths and expanded donor acceptance criteria. As organ procurement organizations (OPOs) prioritize the recovery of kidneys from donors with varying physiological profiles, including those with AKI or comorbidities, reliance on advanced preservation becomes critical to optimize transplant outcomes. Additionally, the 2021 shift to a distance-based kidney allocation policy by UNOS has increased the geographic radius of organ distribution, further intensifying the importance of extended preservation techniques.
Similarly, the number of kidney transplants in the U.S. is witnessing a significant surge, which is expected to continue over the forecast period, thereby increasing the demand for advanced kidney preservation solutions.
Moreover, the growth of the U.S. kidney preservation market is also driven by a rise in government and organizational initiatives aimed at boosting kidney donation rates. Federal programs such as the Advancing American Kidney Health Initiative and policy reforms by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have prioritized expanding access to transplantation by incentivizing organ procurement organizations (OPOs) to increase recovery and utilization of viable kidneys.
In 2024, the Gift of Life Donor Program led U.S. organ procurement organizations by coordinating 947 kidney transplants, marking its ninth consecutive year at the forefront. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Philadelphia-based organization has facilitated over 21,000 kidney transplants. Such initiatives by various organizations are further expected to increase the number of kidney donations in the country, thereby driving demand for preservation solutions over the forecast period.
