In-depth Analysis and Data-driven Insights on the Impact of COVID-19 Included in this Global Urinary Catheters Market Report

The global urinary catheters market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% during the period 2019–2025.

The market is growing due to the increasing elderly population, which increases urinary incontinence, retention, and other bladder disorders worldwide. Catheters are extensively used during emergency healthcare services to treat accident and trauma cases. They are required for severe accident patients as they cannot move and require medical assistance to carry their daily activities. Also, the treatment of road accidents and burn cases in emergency departments or ICUs requires catheters to avoid leakage and help the patients in urine discharge.

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the urinary catheters market during the forecast period:

  • Improved Catheter Design and Use of Biocompatible Material
  • High Growth Potential of Condom/Male External Catheters
  • Growing Demand for Self-Catherization using Intermittent Urinary Catheters

Global Urinary Catheters Market Segmentation
This research report includes a detailed segmentation by product, gender, end-user, application, coating, geography. Intermittent catheters are witnessing increasing popularity as they are less prone to acquire CAUTI, hence expected to grow during the forecast period. These devices offer ease of handling and are low cost than other products. North America dominated the segment due to significant investment in R&D and advanced product launches and development. The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the most attractive market during the forecast period due to the rise in healthcare expenditures and the rapid prevalence of urological diseases.

The male segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of over 5%. This growth can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of urinary disease and BPH in the male patient population. The female elderly patient population with severe conditions due to menopause and other hormonal changes results in losing pelvic muscles, thereby causing urine leakage. To avoid this, there is an increasing demand for urinary catheters among female patients. The advent of external female catheters is expected to boost the market demand in upcoming years.

In 2019, the urinary incontinence segment accounted for 45% of the market share, dominating the market. The incidence of kidney stones is globally increasing, with an estimated prevalence ranging up to 15%. During a lifetime, approximately 7% of women and 13% of men are likely to develop kidney stones, which usually leads to the urinary tract’s blockade, thereby boosting the application of catheters.

Hospitals are the major revenue contributors to the global urinary catheters market share. The increasing patient population prefers hospitals for the primary treatment of urinary inconsistence. Also, patients suffering from BPH are unaware of urethra conditions, hence due to the LUTS symptoms, they tend to rush to hospitals.

The coated segment accounted for a share of 68% in 2019. The growth can be attributed to the increasing preference for coated catheters as they provide lubrication and reduce pain. These devices are safe from infections, thereby increasing the adoption. The introduction of hydrogels is gaining traction in the market.
