Urinary Catheters - Key Trends and Drivers
The global urinary catheter market is expanding steadily, driven primarily by the increasing prevalence of urinary disorders and a growing aging population. The rising incidence of urinary incontinence, bladder dysfunction, and other chronic ailments necessitates urinary catheterization, which plays a crucial role in managing these conditions. Additionally, the surge in urological surgeries and the high prevalence of kidney and bladder stones further escalate the demand for urinary catheters. Aging demographics significantly contribute to this trend, as the elderly are more prone to conditions that require catheterization, thus driving consistent demand in this segment.Innovations in catheter technology and materials are another significant driver of growth.
