Global Urinary Catheters Market Report 2024

The urinary catheters market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $5.18 billion in 2023 to $5.58 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The historical growth can be credited to advancements in medical science, heightened awareness and implementation of infection control measures, elevated standards of patient care, the emergence of surgery and anesthesia practices, and the impact of the industrial revolution.

The urinary catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected due to factors such as the aging population, heightened focus on infection control, escalating healthcare spending, the transition towards minimally invasive procedures and telemedicine, as well as the adoption of remote patient monitoring systems. Key trends projected for the forecast period include the integration of digital health technologies, personalized catheterization solutions, technological progressions, increased collaborative ventures, and strategic investments.

The increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses is poised to drive the growth of the urinary catheter market in the future. Chronic illnesses encompass long-term health conditions that persist over an extended period, often necessitating ongoing management and treatment due to their typically incurable nature. Factors contributing to the occurrence of chronic illnesses include an aging population, unhealthy lifestyles, and the accessibility and infrastructure of healthcare. Urinary catheters play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for individuals with chronic illnesses, aiding in the better management of their symptoms and reducing the risk of further health complications. For example, in January 2023, as reported by the National Library of Medicine, the projected number of individuals aged 50 and above with at least one chronic illness is expected to rise from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million in 2050, indicating a 99.5% increase. Additionally, it is anticipated that the number of individuals with multimorbidity will increase from 7.83 million in 2020 to 14.96 million in 2050, marking a 91.16% rise. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses is fueling the expansion of the urinary catheter market.

Prominent companies in the urinary catheter market are focused on developing innovative products, such as foley catheter fixation, to enhance patient comfort and minimize complications. Foley catheter fixation involves medical devices designed to secure a Foley catheter in place to prevent movement or accidental displacement. These devices typically feature adhesive pads or straps affixed to the patient's skin, along with clips or mechanisms to secure the catheter firmly. For instance, in January 2023, Cathetrix introduced Foley/Safe, a catheter stabilizer equipped with a patented locking mechanism that actively prevents accidental extractions, stabilizes the catheter, and minimizes excessive movement. This device plays a critical role in reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) while improving patient comfort. Its innovative design facilitates easy access to the catheter insertion site, simplifying regular inspection and cleaning procedures.

In October 2023, Laborie Medical Technologies Inc., a US-based provider of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, acquired Urotronic Inc. for $600 million. This acquisition is aimed at expanding Laborie's presence in interventional urology by integrating Urotronic's innovative drug-coated balloon technology, Optilume, into its product portfolio. Urotronic Inc. specializes in urinary catheters and is renowned for its innovative urological medical devices.

Urinary catheters serve as medical tools employed to facilitate the drainage of urine from the bladder when natural expulsion is not feasible for an individual. These flexible tubes are introduced into the bladder either via the urethra or a small surgical incision in the abdomen. Widely utilized across diverse medical scenarios, urinary catheters cater to patients experiencing urinary retention, incontinence, or those immobilized and incapable of utilizing conventional restroom facilities.

The primary categories within the urinary catheters market consist of coated catheters and uncoated catheters. Coated catheters feature a specialized surface coating designed to minimize friction during insertion and potentially mitigate the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). These catheters find applications in conditions such as benign prostate hyperplasia, prostate surgeries, urinary incontinence, spinal cord injury, among others. They are utilized across various healthcare settings including hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and others.
