What Is Covered Under Catheters Market?

A catheter is a medical device that is used to remove urine or other liquids from the body. The catheters are used for different medical purposes, such as the administration of fluids, medications, or gases, or to drain fluids or urine from the body. The main types of catheters include cardiovascular, neurovascular, urology, intravenous, and specialty catheters. The cardiovascular catheter market consists of sales of catheters by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that refer to the catheters that are used for cardiac purposes. Catheters are available in three variations: single-lumen, double-lumen, and triple-lumen; and are used in hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.

What Is The Catheters Market Growth Forecast?

The catheters market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced catheter materials, rising focus on reducing hospital-acquired infections, expansion of outpatient and homecare catheter use, growing adoption of image-guided catheterization, continued innovation in catheter design. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of antimicrobial coated catheters, rising demand for specialty and multi-lumen catheters, growing use of minimally invasive catheter procedures, expansion of single-use disposable catheters, enhanced focus on patient safety and infection control.

What Is The Driver Of The Catheters Market?

The rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorders is expected to propel the growth of the catheters market going forward. Cardiac catheterization is a process in which a catheter is moved through a blood vessel to the heart for a better diagnosis of health conditions. The increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the growing demand for cardiovascular treatment are expected to increase the demand for catheters. For instance, in January 2024, according to the American Heart Association, a US-based non-profit organization, the age-adjusted death rate from cardiovascular disease increased to 233.3 per 100,000 in 2024, up 4.0% from 224.4 per 100,000 in 2023. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disorder drives the catheter industry growth during the forecast period.

Global Catheters Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the catheter market are focusing on developing innovations, such as atraumatic tracking, eliminating the need for a microcatheter during procedures. Atraumatic tracking refers to the method or technique of tracking a biological or physical process in a way that minimizes or eliminates trauma, damage, or adverse effects to the subject being tracked. For instance, in July 2024, Route 92 Medical, Inc., a US-based medical equipment manufacturing company, launched the FreeClimb 88 Catheter System designed for effective navigation through complex neurovascular anatomy. The catheter system offers FDA 510(k) clearance, ensuring safety and efficacy in navigating neurovasculature. Available in 125 cm and 132 cm lengths, it provides flexibility for clinicians. A specialized delivery catheter with a soft, tapered tip reduces the 'ledge effect' and enables smooth passage through critical arteries. Its design enhances clinical procedures by minimizing setup complexity and improving vessel size matching for better flow control.
