Urological catheters market forecast

Technavio’s market research report identifies that the increasing application of antimicrobial urological catheters will be one of the primary drivers for the global urological catheters market growth until 2021. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of close to 5% by 2021. The application of urological catheters can cause catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), which can lead to adverse consequences such as urosepsis and death. This boosts the demand for antimicrobial-coated catheters. The usage of antimicrobial-coated catheters decreases the incidence of catheter-associated bacteriuria and funguria (CABF). C. R.
