What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Intermittent Catheters Market?
The intermittent catheter market's expansion is anticipated to be propelled by the growing incidence of urinary incontinence. The condition, known as Urinary Incontinence (UI), is characterized by the lack of urine control or bladder control loss. To regain their bladder control, people with urine incontinence use intermittent catheterization about four to six times daily, which subsequently increases the demand for intermittent catheters. For example, a study conducted by the National Association for Continence, a private, non-profit American institution concerned with enhancing the lives of incontinence sufferers, suggests that around 200 million people worldwide are grappling with urinary incontinence. Up to 80% of the 25 million American adults dealing with urine incontinence are women. Additionally, the primary form of female incontinence, stress urinary incontinence, is believed to affect 15 million adult women in the U.S. Given these figures, the growing incidence of urinary incontinence remains a key driver of the intermittent catheter market's growth.
