The urinary catheters market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The urinary catheters market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.58 billion in 2024 to $6.03 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 8.0%.
This growth is driven by advancements in medical science, a better understanding of infection control, improved patient care standards, increased surgeries and anesthesia, and industrial advancements.
The urinary catheters market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The urinary catheters market is projected to reach $8.17 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 7.9%.
Factors contributing to growth include the aging population, infection control, rising healthcare expenditures, and a shift toward minimally invasive procedures. Trends include digital health technologies, customized solutions, and strategic partnerships.
The escalating prevalence of enduring diseases is anticipated to augment the urinary catheter market's growth. These chronic diseases refer to persistent health issues that last a long time, often necessitating continuous management and treatments since they're generally incurable. The prevalence of these diseases can be attributed to an aging population, poor lifestyle choices, and the availability and establishment of healthcare facilities. Urinary catheters play a crucial role in improving the life quality of those suffering from chronic diseases by ensuring efficient symptom management and minimizing potential health complications. For example, the American Cancer Society, a non-profit cancer advocacy organization based in the US, reported a growth of 3.16% in cancer cases in January 2023, an increase from 1,898,160 in 2021 to 1,958,310 in 2023. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of enduring diseases is stimulating the growth of the urinary catheter market.

Leading firms in the urinary catheter market are focusing on the development of cutting-edge products like foley catheter fixation, aimed at increasing patient comfort and mitigating complications. A Foley catheter fixation is a medical device specially crafted to ensure the Foley catheter does not move, or get displaced accidentally. The device often comes with adhesive pads or straps connecting to the patient's skin and fasteners or systems to keep the catheter firmly in place. In the instance of Cathetrix, an Israel-established maker of intelligent catheter fixation appliances, they introduced Foley/Safe, a catheter stabilizer, in January 2023. This device proactively prevents accidental pullouts, keeps the catheter steady, and prevents unnecessary movement. With a patent-secured locking mechanism, the device ensures the catheter remains firmly positioned to avoid unintended removal, a critical factor in decreasing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and improving patient comfort. Its ground-breaking design permits easy access to the catheter insertion location, promoting routine check-up and cleansing.
