Pediatric Catheter Global Market Report 2024

The pediatric catheter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.39 billion in 2023 to $6.98 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The historical period's growth can be attributed to several factors, including the heightened prevalence of pediatric disorders, increased awareness among both parents and healthcare professionals, a growing preference for minimally invasive procedures, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, and an increasing preference for home-based medical care.

The pediatric catheter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the escalating prevalence of pediatric diseases, a rise in healthcare expenditure, the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, the expansion of ambulatory surgical centers, a growing focus on environmental concerns and sustainable practices, and the rising occurrence of pediatric neurological conditions. Significant trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in technology, the adoption of advanced catheterization techniques, the integration of digital health technologies, the adoption of environmentally sustainable materials, the expansion of distribution networks for pediatric catheters, and an increasing uptake of virtual consultations.

The increasing prevalence of minimally invasive surgeries is poised to drive the growth of the pediatric catheter market in the coming years. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a surgical approach that aims to minimize tissue damage and incisions, leading to faster recovery, reduced discomfort, and minimal scarring. The demand for MIS is driven by its numerous benefits, including less invasive procedures, decreased pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recuperation. This trend enhances the demand for pediatric catheters, as they offer less invasive access for insertion during procedures. For instance, in August 2023, The Aesthetic Society reported that Americans spent over $11.8 billion on minimally invasive surgeries, marking a 2% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the growing prevalence of minimally invasive surgeries is a key driver for the pediatric catheter market.

Major players in the pediatric catheter market are focusing on innovating cardiac cryoablation catheters to provide safe and effective focal cryoablation therapy, catering to the needs of pediatric cardiology patients. Cardiac cryoablation catheters are specialized instruments used in cryoablation procedures to treat conditions such as atrial fibrillation. These catheters are designed to create focal lesions by freezing heart tissue, thereby interrupting unwanted electrical signals and treating arrhythmias. For example, in February 2022, Medtronic plc received FDA approval for its Freezor and Freezor Xtra cardiac cryoablation focal catheters for pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) treatment. These catheters freeze cardiac tissue and block unnecessary electrical signals in the heart, offering a primary therapy for AVNRT with high efficacy and minimal adverse events.

In January 2022, HR Pharmaceuticals Inc. acquired Medical Technologies of Georgia (MTG) to enhance its presence in the pediatric catheter market by offering specialized catheters for children. This acquisition strengthens HR Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s position as the sole independent catheter manufacturer in the United States. MTG, a Georgia-based company, specializes in manufacturing pediatric catheters, including closed-system and intermittent urological catheters.

Pediatric catheters refer to medical devices specifically tailored and sized for utilization in pediatric patients, typically infants and children. They are meticulously designed to be smaller and gentler in construction compared to adult catheters, aiming to mitigate discomfort and minimize the risk of complications in pediatric patients undergoing diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring procedures.

The primary product categories of pediatric catheters include cardiovascular catheters, urology catheters, intravenous catheters, neurovascular catheters, specialty catheters, and others. Cardiovascular catheters serve as medical tools employed in diagnosing and treating heart-related ailments in children, encompassing conditions such as congenital heart defects and irregular heart rhythms. They come with various lumens, including single, double, and triple lumens, and are utilized by diverse end users, such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, among others.
