The urinary tract infection treatment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The market size for urinary tract infection treatment has seen a constant expansion in the past few years. There has been an expected increase from $10.52 billion in 2024 to $10.78 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5%.
Factors such as the discovery of antibiotics, the use of urinary catheters, clinical guidelines and protocols, patient awareness and education, as well as research into women's health, have contributed to growth during the historical period.
The urinary tract infection treatment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated steady growth can be expected in the urinary tract infection treatment market over the coming years, with its value reaching $12.45 billion by 2029, facilitated by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%.
This forecasted growth can be ascribed to a multiplicity of factors including the development of non-antibiotic treatments, the increase in resistant bacterial strains, as well as personalized treatment strategies and telemedicine involvement, coupled with remote patient consultations and broad public health educational programs. The prediction period also indicates trends towards microbiome-oriented therapies, phage therapy, immediate point-of-care testing and nutritional intervention techniques, as well as an increased focus on prevention strategies and community-driven interventions.
The increasing occurrence of urinary tract infections is predicted to fuel the expansion of the urinary tract infection treatment market. These infections pertain to bacterial contagions that impact the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, and other parts of the urinary system. Treatment of such infections is crucial as it facilitates therapeutic responses against the infection in multiple ways. For instance, data from the National Institute of Health, a public health research institute in the US, revealed that in January 2023, urinary tract infections were the seventh leading cause for emergency room visits in the USA, resulting in over a million visits annually. Out of these, 22% (220,000) were classified as complicated UTIs, leading to approximately 100,000 annual admissions. Thus, the escalating incidence of urinary tract infections is stimulating the growth of the urinary tract infection treatment market.
