Urinary Catheters Market, by Product Type, Application,
End User and Geography - Global Industry Insights,
Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018 – 2026
Urinary catheter is a tube used to collect urine from the bladder. The catheters are mostly
recommended by the healthcare providers for people suffering from bladder disorders such as
urinary incontinence and urinary retention. The catheters are usually made of latex, silicone,
and polyurethane. Foley catheter comprises a balloon for holding the tube in the bladder for
long term, whereas intermittent catheters provides short term catheterization. The urinary
catheters are inserted into the urethra guiding through the bladder to drain out urine providing
convenience to patients post-surgery. External catheters are advanced catheters preventing
catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). Urinary catheters are also used during long
surgical procedures for urine drainage for patients with other medical conditions such as spina
bifida, multiple sclerosis and spinal injury, as the patients with neurological disease are at a
risk for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction known as neurogenic bladder.

Rising prevalence of benign prostate hyperplasia in adults is expected to drive the growth of
global urinary catheters market
The urinary catheters market is expected to grow drastically due to rising occurrence of target
diseases such as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), urinary incontinence, urinary retention,
bladder obstruction, and bladder cancers. According to the World Health Organization (WHO)
estimates, 2015, over 200 million people are suffering from bladder control problems due to
different diseases that essentially require urinary catheterization in 2015. According to the
National Association for Continence, one third of the men and women between the age group
of around 55-65 years suffer from bladder control problem at some point in their adult life.
Neurological disorders leading to bladder dysfunction also require catheters for urine
drainage. The factors such as increasing genital surgeries, availability of improved catheters,
and favorable reimbursement policies is expected to boost the market growth.
The urinary catheters market is expected to gain a significant traction over the forecast period
with the launch of innovative catheters to minimize the rates of catheter associated infections.
