Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Market Report 2025

This Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The catheter-related bloodstream infection market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.53 billion in 2024 to $1.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising incidence of chronic diseases, increased awareness and education, rise in hospital-acquired infections, the growing elderly population, and enhanced infection control programs in hospitals and healthcare settings.

The catheter-related bloodstream infection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing healthcare-associated infections (hais), rising awareness and training, enhanced awareness and training programs on infection control practices, expansion of healthcare infrastructure, increase in geriatric population, supportive government policies and initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include biomaterial innovations, smart catheter technology, the development of more effective catheter lock solutions with advanced antimicrobial properties, innovations in sterilization processes for catheters, and automated flushing systems.

The increasing incidence of hospital-acquired infections is anticipated to drive growth in the market for catheter-related bloodstream infections in the future. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are infections that patients contract while undergoing treatment for other conditions in healthcare settings, typically emerging 48 hours or more after admission. Factors contributing to the rise in hospital-acquired infections include antimicrobial resistance, inadequate infection control protocols, and patient vulnerability. Catheter-related bloodstream infections are particularly problematic within HAIs due to the invasive nature of catheters and their potential for microbial colonization, posing risks to patients with indwelling catheters. For example, the National Library of Medicine reported in January 2023 that the global healthcare-associated infection (HAI) rate was 0.14%, with an annual increase of 0.06%. Hence, the escalating prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is set to propel growth in the catheter-related bloodstream infection market.

Leading companies in the catheter-related bloodstream infection market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as catheter lock therapies to enhance infection prevention and improve patient outcomes. A catheter lock solution involves instilling a liquid into a catheter to prevent infections and maintain catheter patency between uses. For instance, in November 2023, CorMedix Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical firm specializing in therapeutic products, received FDA approval for DefenCath (taurolidine and heparin) catheter lock solution. This solution is tailored for adult patients with kidney failure undergoing chronic hemodialysis through central venous catheters (CVCs), combining heparin for anticoagulation with taurolidine's broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).

In April 2022, CEMMA Medical Company Limited, based in Taiwan, partnered with LipoCoat BV to develop a coated central venous catheter (CVC) aimed at sustainable infection control. This collaboration leverages CEMMA's expertise in catheter technology and LipoCoat's bio-inspired coating technology, aiming to deliver an advanced CVC solution to combat the global challenge of healthcare-associated infections. LipoCoat BV, headquartered in the Netherlands, specializes in bio-inspired coating technologies.

Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is a serious healthcare-associated infection caused by bacteria or fungi entering the bloodstream through a catheter - a tube used to administer medications or nutrients directly into a vein. This condition can lead to sepsis and other severe complications, emphasizing the critical need for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

The primary treatments for CRBSI include antibiotic lock therapy and antimicrobial agents. Antibiotic lock therapy involves infusing a concentrated antibiotic solution into the catheter lumen, where it remains for an extended period to prevent or eliminate catheter-related infections locally, without systemic administration. This approach is frequently employed in patients with central venous catheters to manage and prevent CRBSI. Common sources of infection and causative agents include Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), Candida species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, among others. These treatments are available through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies.
