Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Growing Prevalence of Urinary Disorders:

The rise in urinary disorders like urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is increasing the demand for intermittent catheters. These conditions disrupt normal bladder function, so patients need regular catheterization to control their urinary output. More people, especially the elderly and those with spinal cord injuries or neurological issues, are facing these disorders, driving market growth. Also, lifestyle factors such as poor diet, obesity, and inactivity are making intermittent catheters a crucial tool for effective management.

• Technological Advancements and Product Innovations:

Innovations in catheter technology are creating hydrophilic-coated and antimicrobial catheters. These options improve patient comfort and reduce infection rates. They tackle user concerns, like discomfort during insertion and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Also, advancements like pre-lubricated and single-use disposable catheters make self-catheterization easier for patients. As technology evolves, new products are emerging. These products enhance safety and usability, boosting their adoption among patients and healthcare providers.

• Increasing Awareness and Adoption in Home Care:

More people are realizing the benefits of intermittent catheterization compared to indwelling catheters. This awareness is driving market growth. Healthcare professionals and organizations are promoting intermittent catheters. They highlight their lower infection risk and greater convenience for patients. Additionally, the demand for at-home care solutions is rising. High healthcare costs are also fueling market growth. The trend towards home care and self-management is strong, especially among older adults. Patients want comfortable and effective urinary management solutions they can use on their own.
