Global Intermittent Catheters Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)
Report Overview
Intermittent catheters are medical devices used to manage urinary retention or to assist individuals with bladder dysfunction in emptying their bladders. Unlike indwelling catheters, which remain in the bladder, intermittent catheters are inserted only when needed for catheterization and are then removed.
With the development of modern science and technology and the increasing average life span and aging trend of the world's population, the scope of application of medical catheters such as intermittent catheters in modern medical diagnosis and treatment and home care will continue to expand and their importance will continue to increase. The future development of the industry The potential is huge. More and more new materials, new technologies and new processes are used in the production and manufacturing of medical catheters. Clinical medical technology, polymer materials science, bionics, bioengineering, precision instruments and advanced manufacturing technology are widely used in the medical catheter industry. Intermittent catheters are using new materials, such as hydrophilic coatings, antibiotic coatings, and ultra-slippery antibacterial coatings to solve the problems of past catheters.
The global Intermittent Catheters market size is projected to reach US$ 2669.55 Million by 2029 from US$ 2045.10 million in 2022 at a CAGR of 3.96% during 2023-2029. The increasing prevalence of urological diseases is the core driver of market development. Urinary tract disorders cover a variety of conditions, including urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder, urinary retention and urinary tract disorders. These conditions often require the use of intermittent catheters to control and relieve symptoms. Intermittent urinary catheters provide a highly effective solution to continuous drainage catheters, prevent urinary tract infections, and help improve urinary incontinence in some patients. The aging of the global population is an important factor driving the increasing prevalence of urinary tract diseases and urinary incontinence. The global population aging trend will continue in the future, and the increase in the total medical expenses of the elderly will drive the growing demand for medical care products in the next 10-15 years. The demand for basic medical equipment such as intermittent catheters and other medical catheters will also continue to grow.
The increasing incidence of prostate cancer is also a significant driving force for the intermittent catheter market. Intermittent catheters are often used by patients after a prostatectomy or during cancer treatment to control urinary problems. On the other hand, the reimbursement amount and coverage of medical insurance for residents around the world are also showing an upward trend. Preferential reimbursement policies offered by insurance companies and government health plans make intermittent catheters more accessible and affordable for patients. These policies reduce the financial burden on patients and promote continued catheter usage, thus promoting market growth. Additionally, trends in ambulatory care and increasing awareness of healthcare will lead to an increase in the number of intermittent catheter users.
At the same time, intense price competition among intermittent catheter manufacturers has led to a lack of awareness among many patients and healthcare providers about intermittent catheterization, its limitations, and its complications. This will hinder the development of the intermittent urinary catheter market.
Segment by Type, the Intermittent Catheters can be split into PVC Intermittent Catheters, Silicone Intermittent Catheters, etc. Latex Intermittent Catheters still occupies the highest market share, and has reached 34.84% in 2022. Latex intermittent catheters have a long history of use in the medical field. They were among the first materials used for catheters, and healthcare professionals and patients have long been familiar with them. Latex intermittent catheters are also generally more cost-effective than alternative materials such as silicone. Latex catheters are known for their flexibility and ease of insertion. This makes them suitable for a variety of patient situations, especially those requiring intermittent catheterization. The flexibility of latex catheters provides comfort during insertion. At the same time, latex intermittent catheters are widely used and there is a well-established supply chain for these products.
According to the application population, intermittent catheters can be divided into Male Patients, Female Patients, and Children. Currently, the market share of the Male Patients department is 58.48%, which is higher than the 36.92% of the Female Patients department and 4.60% of the Children department. The prevalence of urinary tract disorders, such as urinary retention and incontinence, is higher in men than in women and children. This results in more male patients requiring intermittent catheterization. Men have longer urethras and are more susceptible to prostate-related urinary problems, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. These conditions can block urine flow, leading to a higher likelihood of urinary retention, which often requires intermittent catheterization. Additionally, while urinary incontinence can affect both men and women, certain types of urinary incontinence, such as overflow incontinence, are more common in men due to underlying urinary tract disease. This increases the need for catheters in male patients.
On basis of geography, the Intermittent Catheters market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. In 2022, the North America market contributed the highest revenue and has occupied 34.42% market share. North America has a highly advanced and developed healthcare infrastructure that provides easy access to healthcare facilities, ensuring patients have access to a wide range of medical products, including intermittent catheters. The North American market has several leading intermittent catheter manufacturers and suppliers, forming a competitive landscape that promotes product innovation and accessibility. On the other hand, the market size of the Asia-Pacific market will expand at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, reaching 6.89%. The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing demographic changes, with an increasing elderly population. This demographic trend is associated with a higher prevalence of urological disorders requiring intermittent catheterization. As the elderly population increases, so does the market for these devices. At the same time, many countries in the Asia-Pacific region have been increasing healthcare spending to improve healthcare infrastructure and accessibility. This includes investment in urology care and the availability of intermittent catheters.
