Market Driver

The Intermittent Catheter Market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of urinary diseases such as urinary tract infections, urethral obstructions, renal diseases, tumors, and neurogenic bladder. The market includes two main product types: uncoated intermittent catheters and coated intermittent catheters. Uncoated catheters have smooth, slippery surfaces, making them suitable for individuals with urethral trauma or tissues. Coated catheters, on the other hand, have antimicrobial or hydrophilic coatings, which help prevent urinary tract infections and make catheterization easier. Hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and medical research centers are key end-users. Technological advancements, such as the development of hydrophilic intermittent catheters, are driving market growth. Reimbursement schemes and government initiatives for the aging population with disabilities, such as spinal cord injuries, are also boosting demand. Global prevalence of urinary diseases among adult Americans is high, and CXOs in the healthcare industry are focusing on catheter design and materials to improve patient comfort and outcomes.

Market Challenges

  • Intermittent catheterization is a common method for managing bladder incompatence in individuals who struggle to empty their bladders completely. However, this procedure comes with potential risks and complications, particularly for those who perform self-catheterization over a prolonged period. Urethral and bladder/scrotal complications include bleeding, stricture, urethritis, epididymitis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and bladder stones. Urethral complications include meatal inflammation, bleeding, and trauma from forcible catheterization or poorly lubricated catheters. Bladder stones can form due to the introduction of pubic hair or loss of catheter into the bladder. UTIs are the most frequent complication, resulting from the damage to the urethral and mucosal barrier, which allows bacteria entry. Hospitals and healthcare facilities experience high rates of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), with catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) accounting for 20-45% of all nosocomial infections. Factors contributing to CAUTIs include patient-related factors, improper caregiver techniques, hospital-related issues, equipment-related problems, and environmental factors. These complications can reduce the use of intermittent catheters and hinder the growth of the global intermittent catheters market during the forecast period.
  • The Intermittent Catheter Market faces several challenges in the Catheterization Devices sector. Key trends include innovations in materials like PVC, vinyl, and silicone for Male, Female, Pediatric, and Adult Catheters. Complications, such as urinary tract infections, are a concern for Urological catheters used in the Urinary bladder. Spinal cord injuries and urinary incontinence drive demand, but price competition and lack of awareness pose challenges. Rising geriatric populations and indications like urinary retention fuel growth. Hydrophilic antimicrobial coatings and one-time use catheters are solutions to mitigate risks. Manufacturers must adhere to Catheterization Guidelines and prioritize Catheterization Safety. Training, Education, Support, and Management are crucial for effective Catheterization Care. Ongoing Research and Development are essential to address the evolving needs of the Catheterization Market.
