Epidural Catheter Market Report 2024

The epidural catheter market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from 8.29 billion in 2023 to $11.45 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.2%. The growth observed in the past can be attributed to rising product demand, greater adoption of epidural catheters, a higher number of births per woman, and an increased prevalence of diseases.

The epidural catheter market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $42.22 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.6%. The growth in the forecast period is expected due to a rise in cardiovascular diseases, an expanding healthcare sector, a higher incidence of chronic pain, more frequent labor complications, and greater use of single-dose epidurals. Key trends during this period include increased product innovation, advancements in healthcare infrastructure, technological progress, and new partnerships.

The increasing number of surgeries is anticipated to drive the growth of the epidural catheters market. Surgeries, which are medical procedures involving tools to treat injuries or illnesses by making incisions in the body, are on the rise due to several factors. These include advancements in medical technology, greater awareness and access to healthcare, an aging population with complex health needs, and evolving surgical techniques that allow for safer and more effective treatments. Epidural catheters provide targeted, adjustable pain relief, significantly enhancing surgical outcomes and patient comfort. They allow for continuous infusion or patient-controlled analgesia, offering flexible pain management options based on individual needs. For example, according to a report published by the Aesthetic Society in April 2022, the average plastic surgeon performed 320 surgical procedures in 2021, compared to 220 in 2020. Therefore, the rising number of surgeries is fueling the epidural catheter market.

Leading companies in the epidural catheters market are investing in the production of epidural catheters to offer enhanced biocompatibility, improved insertion design, and technologies aimed at reducing complications. These advancements are driven by the growing demand for safer and more effective pain management solutions in various medical fields, including anesthesiology and chronic pain management. For instance, in May 2023, Oakville Medical, a Canadian medical company, received a $775,000 financial boost from the Ontario Together Fund and support from Canadian Hospital Specialties Limited to invest over $1.5 million in producing epidural catheters, primarily used during childbirth for pain relief. This funding is part of a broader investment to expand CHS's manufacturing capabilities for epidural catheters.

In January 2022, ICU Medical, a US-based manufacturer of medical devices and equipment, acquired Smiths Medical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to improve patient care and address healthcare challenges. Smiths Medical, also a US-based company, manufactures epidural catheters.

An epidural catheter is a slender tube placed in the epidural space of the spine to administer pain-relieving medications directly. This technique is frequently utilized for childbirth, surgical procedures, and managing chronic pain. Epidural catheters play a vital role in pain management and anesthesia, providing targeted and effective pain relief in different medical situations.

There are two primary types of epidural catheters continuous and single-dose. The continuous epidural catheter is a flexible tube inserted into the spine's epidural space, allowing for the continuous delivery of pain medication. These catheters are made from materials such as polyurethane, silicone, and latex. They are used in various settings, including hospitals and clinics, and cater to different patient groups, including adults, children, and the elderly.
