The increasing incidence of urinary incontinence coupled with the ageing population is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as growing demand for threat from substitutes/alternative treatments for urinary incontinence market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing incidence of urinary incontinence coupled with an ageing population is notably driving the market growth. In patients with urinary incontinence, intermittent catheters are frequently used. Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine, which is mainly caused due to the individual's lack of control or weak control over the sphincter. According to the American Urological Association, one-third of men and women in the US experience urinary incontinence.
Also, incontinence is seen more commonly in women when compared with men. Age-related issues such as residual urine decreased urinary capacity, and involuntary contractions of the urinary tract are the cause of increased urinary incontinence. The growing market for intermittent catheters is also driven by an increase in life expectancy and the aging Baby Boomers. In the forecast period, demand for intermittent catheters will grow as a result of improved healthcare facilities, which will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The rise in the adoption of closed-system intermittent catheters is a primary trend in the intermittent catheter market. In view of the benefits, closed network catheters are gaining popularity as a contrast to uncloaked and Uncoated Intermittent Catheters. They're popular catheters, and they're preferred by many children and people with disabilities. They offer discreet, private catheterization over other available intermittent catheterization techniques. The closed-system catheters help significantly reduce bacterial infection, which causes UTIs.
Also, Apogee Plus touch-free intermittent catheter system is used effectively for an active and mobile lifestyle. Owing to its demand for coated and uncoated intermittent catheters, vendors are shifting their focus on manufacturing closed-system intermittent catheters. Closed catheterization is an effective method to decrease the incidence of UTI, and its increasing demand will drive the growth of the global intermittent catheter market during the forecast period.
The threat of substitutes/alternative treatments for urinary incontinence is a major challenge in the intermittent catheter market. In the case of patients with urinary incontinence, intermittent catheters are commonly used to remove their urine completely. Although the presence of substitutes is a potential threat to the market, there has been an increase in awareness as well as the use of alternative Intermittent catheters. Depending on the severity and condition that causes your incontinence, treatment for Urinary Incontinence will be different. Physicians or healthcare providers suggest behavioral techniques such as bladder training, double voiding, and fluid and diet management at first instance. Second, exercise on the floor of the pelvis, electric stimulation, and medication may be recommended by your doctor. Behavior therapy, increasing the ability of the bladder and decreasing urine incontinence symptoms, is helping to improve control in about 90% of patients.
Medications such as tolterodine, oxybutynin, and fesoterodine are used to treat urinary incontinence. Furthermore, other substitutes such as adult diapers, absorbent briefs, and urinary prostheses are also used for continence. Without blocking urine flow, a prosthesis is an alternative to catheters and provides drainage of urine completely. In addition, an alternative to catheters is penile clamps or incontinence cuffs for men. Compression pouches are used by males. Absorbent pads for females are substitutes for intermittent catheters. Thus, the presence of these potential substitutes will impede the growth of the global intermittent catheter market during the forecast period.
