Urinary Catheters Market Segmentation by Product, Gender, and Geography Analysis

Product Analysis 

Internal urinary catheters

The market share growth by the internal urinary catheters segment will be significant during the forecast period. Internal urinary catheters are hollow, partially flexible tubes that are intended to treat urinary incontinence. Foley or indwelling catheters and intermittent catheters are the two major types of internal urinary catheters. Indwelling or Foley catheters can be kept in the bladder for varied durations, depending on the condition of the patient.

The internal urinary catheters were the largest and were valued at USD 2.53 billion in 2018.  The internal urinary catheters segment of the market is expected to grow at a significant pace during the forecast period due to the increasing geriatric population with urinary incontinence, the rising incidence of multiple sclerosis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and the growing prevalence of certain chronic conditions like diabetes. Technological advances in catheter size and coatings and the increased adoption of self-catheterization will boost the growth of this market. These factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Gender Analysis 

Male

The male urinary catheters segment has a dominant share in the global urinary catheters market. Male catheters are most commonly used for treating urinary incontinence or bladder infections. Male urinary catheters are generally used in situations when there is a blockage in the urethra or injury to the urethra, an enlarged prostate in males, birth defects that affect the urinary tract, and in men with kidney, ureter, or bladder stones. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of urinary diseases and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP) in the male patient population boosts the growth of the male urinary catheter segment. Therefore, owing to such factors, the male segment of the global urinary catheters market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. 

Female

Factors like the increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence in women are expected to drive the growth of the female segment. Moreover, the increase in the number of women suffering from urinary tract infections (UTIs) increases the demand for female urinary catheters in hospitals. Urinary incontinence among women is high due to childbirth, menopause, and other conditions. Women who face severe symptoms due to menopause and other hormonal changes may result in dysfunction of pelvic floor muscles, which can cause urine leakage. In order to avoid such situations, there is a rising demand for urinary catheters among female patients. Therefore, such factors will boost the growth of the female segment of the global urinary catheters market during the forecast period.

Urinary Catheters Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. 

Key Urinary Catheters Market Drivers

Growing demand for antimicrobial-coated urinary catheters is notably driving the market growth. UTIs account for 30%-40 % of all nosocomial infections and are responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates and prolonged hospital stays. Urinary catheters are widely used for patients in hospitals and home-care settings and are often associated with high rates of CAUTI.  Vendors in this market are investing heavily in R&D to design and introduce novel products that aid in easy insertion and are clinically effective. For instance, Bard offers BARDEX I.C. anti-infective latex Foley catheters with Bacti-Guard silver alloy coating and BARD hydrogel, which reduces CAUTIs, bacterial infection, and biofilm formation on the catheters. Medtronic offers a comprehensive system of urological products that are coated with silver and are used for urinary incontinence.

Also, the MAGIC3 Antibacterial Hydrophilic Catheter, by Bard, offers the benefits of nitrofurazone (antibacterial agent) and significantly inhibits the growth of pathogens that cause UTI. Thus, the availability of advanced catheters increases their adoption among patients and caregivers, thereby contributing to the growth of the market. Therefore, such factors are likely to accelerate the growth of the global urinary catheters market during the forecast period.

Significant Urinary Catheters Market Trends

The emergence of female external catheters is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. 

Female external catheters are the newest trend in the global urinary catheters market. Vendors in this market are offering easy-to-use and safe female external catheters. Due to the increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence, vendors are designing new urinary catheters with biocompatible materials and coatings that are easy to use and result in increased patient satisfaction. Male external catheters are developed by many vendors. However, a number of vendors are now designing and manufacturing female external catheters due to their increasing popularity. 

In addition, this catheter does not require the attachment of adhesive devices such as glue, straps, or tapes and facilitates the expulsion of urine at a fast rate. Thus, the rapid adoption of these wearable catheters among end-users will maximize the sales of these catheters, thereby contributing to market growth during the forecast period. Therefore, such factors will drive the growth of the global catheter market during the forecast period.

Major Urinary Catheters Market Challenges

Stringent regulations on medical devices like urinary catheters are a significant challenge hindering the market growth. Regulatory authorities have imposed stringent regulations on labeling and framework requirements for medical devices used in urological surgeries. These medical devices must undergo a safety examination to demonstrate medical efficacy prior to their approval. An increase in product recalls is likely to hamper the growth prospects of urinary catheters. Vendors who are manufacturing such products will lose their brand value and also face lawsuits from the patients who have been using them. Stringent regulations will force vendors to recall defective products.

Consequently, vendors need to focus on collecting enough clinical evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of their devices prior to launching in the commercial markets. Such stringent regulations in medical devices and supplies will potentially affect the urinary catheters market and pose a challenge to the manufacturers during the forecast period. Thus, stringent regulations will hamper the growth of the global urinary catheters market during the forecast period.
