Market Potential and Pitfalls

With rising urological problems, new product development, hospitalization, widespread acceptance of Foley catheters, new product releases, and rising demand from emerging economies, the worldwide Foley catheters market is expected to thrive. Major market players are heavily investing in R&D and creative product development to improve the current structure and utilization of such catheters. Such elements are significantly contributing to market expansion. In terms of technology, catheters are continually developing. The breadth of applicability in the healthcare industry is expanding as technology advances during the assessment period.

On the contrary, the presence of alternative treatments for urinary incontinence combined with the potential risks associated with the use of Foley catheters is some of the top barriers likely to vitiate the market growth in the coming years.

The prevalence of chronic diseases, urological problems, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes has increased significantly, due to which Foley catheters market share, around the world, has increased. The market is also expanding as the prevalence of target disorders such bladder blockage, urine incontinence, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), urinary retention, and bladder malignancies rises. Furthermore, neurological illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and others cause bladder malfunction, necessitating the use of catheters to drain urine from the body. Because the senior population is predisposed to such illnesses, the market is expected to grow over the assessment period. Additional factors gearing up the market growth are the high availability of improved catheters, rising cases of genital surgeries, and accelerating awareness among the global population. Reimbursement policies provided by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. has helped the market to expand.
