- Female length catheter accounts for the largest market share due to the rising need to lower the risk of injury or pain.
- The increasing prevalence of urinary disorders, such as urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), among the masses around the world is catalyzing the demand for intermittent catheters.
- Innovations in catheter technology are leading to the creation of hydrophilic-coated and antimicrobial catheters that offer enhanced patient comfort and lower infection rates.
Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Growing Prevalence of Urinary Disorders:
Fractility, stress urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and other urinary disorders are becoming more common as the population ages. These conditions disrupt normal bladder function, requiring patients to use catheters frequently to manage urinary output. The rise in these disorders, especially among older adults and patients with spinal cord injuries or neurological issues, is driving market growth. Additionally, poor diets and obesity linked to sedentary lifestyles are increasing the need for intermittent catheters as a necessary management tool.
- Technological Advancements and Product Innovations:
Recent advancements in catheterization have led to the creation of hydrophilic coated and antimicrobial catheters. These innovations aim to improve stability and reduce infection rates for catheterized patients. They address key concerns, like pain during insertion and the risk of Contracted Unsymmetrical Vaginal Irreversible Little Economy (CUVILE). Also, self-lubricated and disposable catheters simplify the process. Many new products are being developed daily. They use available technologies to enhance safety, making them more appealing to patients and healthcare team members.
Increasing Awareness and Adoption in Home Care:
More people are realizing that intermittent catheters work better than indwelling ones. This awareness is boosting market growth. Key healthcare professionals and organizations support intermittent catheters because they are safer and more convenient than Foley catheters. Additionally, the demand for home care products and rising healthcare costs are driving market growth. Relaxed rules for home care and self-monitoring, especially for older adults, are also helping the market. Consumers want comfortable and effective urinary products that they can use independently.
