The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure, diabetes, and other medical conditions that contribute to elevated potassium levels in the blood is driving demand for effective hyperkalemia treatments. For instance, approximately 589 million adults aged 20-79 were reported to have diabetes globally. Projections indicated this figure would rise to 853 million by 2050. Notably, over 81% of affected adults resided in low and middle-income countries. Pharmaceutical companies focus on developing and delivering innovative therapeutic solutions to address this condition. In September 2025, AstraZeneca Pharma India received approval from the Subject Expert Committee(SEC), operating under the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), to conduct a Phase-IV clinical trial of Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (Lokelma) powder for oral suspension used to treat hyperkalemia in India. This trial will evaluate safety and efficacy for managing elevated potassium levels in adult patients, addressing critical cardiovascular and renal health needs in the region.

Aging global population, marked by a growing elderly segment, faces increased vulnerability to chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes, which elevate hyperkalemia risk. This is expected to drive the demand for hyperkalemia drugs, fostering pharmaceutical innovation and expanded treatment options. Advances in oral potassium binders and improved diagnostic capabilities support better management, while strategic collaborations and market expansion enhance drug accessibility worldwide.
