The market caters to the needs of Men and Women dealing with Urine Incontinence and Bladder Dysfunctions. These conditions are often associated with Urological Disorders such as Urinary Retention, Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, Bladder Cancer, and other lower urinary system issues. The market comprises various products like Pads and Urinary Catheters that provide relief in Home Care Settings, Hospitals, and Diagnostic Laboratories. The Aging Population, with its increased prevalence of Bladder Control Issues and Leakage, significantly contributes to the market growth. Urologic Diseases leading to Hospital Admission Rates further boost the demand for these products. Teleconsultation Services have also emerged as a promising trend in the market, enabling remote diagnosis and management of Urinary Incontinence and Retention. The market is expected to expand due to the supply chain networks, increasing Geriatric Population and the feeling of fullness or Residual Urine Volume in the bladder, which can lead to discomfort and other health complications.
The adoption of external urine management products in hospitals is notably driving the market growth. The prevalence of urinary incontinence is increasing across the world, which is boosting the growth of the market. External urine management products, such as catheters and external urine collection devices, are used to manage urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and other urinary-related issues. The adoption of these products depends on several factors, such as hospital policies and protocols, the availability of trained staff, and the preferences of individual healthcare providers and patients.
Further, the development of advanced urinary incontinence devices and the increasing prevalence of urological issues are expected to have a positive impact on market growth. Urological issues are more common in the geriatric population. In addition, the increasing number of bladder cancer patients is anticipated to have a major impact on market growth. The use of external urine management products has grown owing to the need for long-term UI management alternatives, which, in turn, will fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rising prevalence of chronic conditions is a key trend influencing the market. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and prostate cancer can result in urinary incontinence. This can increase the need for external urine management products such as catheters, condom catheters, and urine bags. The number of individuals with chronic conditions and urinary incontinence is increasing, which is fueling the demand for external urine management products. This is expected to boost sales during the forecast period.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases were responsible for more than 70% of all deaths worldwide in 2022, and this figure is expected to increase during the forecast period. Moreover, the rise in the aging population is contributing to the prevalence of urinary incontinence. Thus, the demand for external urine management products is increasing. The likelihood of developing urinary incontinence is high among the geriatric population, which, in turn, drives the demand for these products. These factors will support the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The increasing number of cases of urinary infections may impede the market growth. External urine management products can increase the chances of infection as well as other complications, including skin irritation and bladder spasms. This can be a major concern for individuals who need to use these products in the long term. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common complications. It occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the catheter.
Other complications of external urine management products include blockage or obstruction of the catheter, which can cause urine to reach back into the bladder and lead to bladder or kidney damage and leakage around the catheter. This can also cause skin irritation and infection. Thus, infections and complications associated with the use of external urine management products will negatively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
