• The market size was esteemed at $31.65 billion in 2024 and expanded to $34.08 billion in 2025, exhibiting a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%.
Key factors that have driven this growth include the increasing aging population, expanding prevalence of chronic diseases, shift towards minimally invasive surgical procedures, boosted awareness and treatment of urinary incontinence, and expansion of healthcare infrastructure.
The catheters market is poised for significant acceleration in the coming years.
• By 2029, the market size is extrapolated to rise to $51.72 billion, marking a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%.
This robust growth will be catalyzed by increased usage of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring, emphasis on personalized medicine, utilization of regenerative medicine techniques, an increasing shift towards patient-centric care, and a rising focus on the use of sustainable and eco-friendly catheter materials.
The perennial rise in the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders is a key driver expected to spur the growth of the catheters market. Cardiac catheterization is instrumental in diagnosing various health conditions by threading a catheter through a blood vessel to the heart. The growing influence of cardiovascular diseases, coupled with the increased demand for treatment options, is projected to propel the demand for catheters. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in May 2024 that one person was succumbing to cardiovascular disease every 33 seconds, thereby marking it responsible for one in every five fatalities. As a result, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders is likely to drive the growth of the catheters market in the forecast period.
