The catheter-related bloodstream infection market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The catheter-related bloodstream infection market has experienced strong growth in recent years. It is expected to increase from $1.53 billion in 2024 to $1.62 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%.
The historical growth can be attributed to the rising incidence of chronic diseases, greater awareness and education about infections, the growing elderly population, and improved infection control programs in healthcare facilities.
The catheter-related bloodstream infection market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The catheter-related bloodstream infection market is anticipated to reach $2.05 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.0%.
This growth is attributed to the rising healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), better awareness and training, improved infection control practices, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and government initiatives. Trends include biomaterial innovations, smart catheter technology, advanced antimicrobial catheter lock solutions, improvements in sterilization processes, and automated flushing systems.
The growth of the catheter-related bloodstream infection market is expected to be driven by the rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). HAIs occur when patients acquire infections during treatment for other conditions, typically manifesting 48 hours or more after admission. Factors such as antimicrobial resistance, insufficient infection control, and patient susceptibility contribute to their increase. Catheter-related bloodstream infections are significant due to their invasive nature and microbial colonization risk. For example, in January 2023, the National Library of Medicine reported a global HAI rate of 0.14%, rising annually by 0.06%. This surge in HAIs will contribute to the market's growth.
