Urinary Catheters Market Dynamics:

The demand for urinary catheters is burgeoning at present due to the rising prevalence of urological disorders such as urinary strictures, urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and various other indications among the worldwide population. For instance, as per the World Health Organization 2017 data, the prevalence of urinary incontinence ranges from 9.9% to 36.1% population affecting older women as compared to older men.

Thus, rising incontinence disorder could be a potential factor responsible for the global urinary catheters market growth.

Moreover, the rising number of surgeries across the globe is also anticipated to fuel the urinary catheters market. According to the Global Surgery Foundation 2021 report, an estimated 30% of the global burden of disease is caused by conditions that can be treated by surgery.
