Urinary Catheters Market, by Product Type (Intermittent Catheter, (Ported Peripheral Intravenous Catheters (PIVC) and Non-Ported Peripheral Intravenous Catheters (PIVC)), Indwelling (Foley) Catheter, and External Catheter) by Application (Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Retention, Prostate Gland Surgeries, Spinal Cord Injuries, and Others (Multiple Sclerosis, etc.)) by End User (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, and Ambulatory Surgical Centers), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
A urinary catheter is a partially flexible and hollow tube that collects urine from the bladder and leads to a drainage bag. Silicone, rubber, and poly vinyl chloride (PVC) are materials used to manufacture urinary catheters. Indwelling catheters, external catheters, and intermittent catheters (short-term catheters) are the three main types of urinary catheters. One-time-use catheters and reusable catheters are also available. It is important to routinely clean catheters as indwelling urinary catheters may lead to healthcare-associated Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). Urinary catheters are used at the time of urinary incontinence and retention, which can occur due to kidney stones, blood clots in urine, and enlargement of the prostate gland, spinal cord injury, dementia, etc. Urinary catheters are the leading cause of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), hence it is important to clean catheters to prevent infections. Urethra or bladder injuries, bladder stones, bladder spasms, and pain are the most common side effects associated with urinary catheters.
Market Dynamics
Increasing adoption of organic growth strategies such as product launches by the key market players is expected to drive the global urinary catheters market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in April 2020, Bactiguard AB, a medical technology company, announced that it had launched a BIP Foley TempSensor, a urinary catheter. It will provide continuous temperature monitoring for patients in intensive care, surgery, and other conditions where continuous monitoring is important, and it also prevents infection.
