Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Growing Prevalence of Urinary Disorders:
The increasing prevalence of urinary disorders, such as urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), among the masses around the world is catalyzing the demand for intermittent catheters. As these conditions often impair normal bladder function, patients require regular catheterization to manage their urinary output. The rising number of individuals, especially the elderly and those with spinal cord injuries or neurological conditions, are experiencing these disorders, which is bolstering the market growth. Additionally, lifestyle factors, including poor dietary habits, obesity, and sedentary living, are expanding the market for intermittent catheters as a necessary tool for effective management.
- Technological Advancements and Product Innovations:
Innovations in catheter technology are leading to the creation of hydrophilic-coated and antimicrobial catheters that offer enhanced patient comfort and lower infection rates. These advancements address key user concerns, such as discomfort during insertion and the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). In addition, advancements like pre-lubricated and single-use disposable catheters are making self-catheterization more accessible and convenient for patients. As technology continues to evolve, new products are emerging that improve safety and ease of use, thereby increasing their adoption among patients and healthcare providers alike.
- Increasing Awareness and Adoption in Home Care:
The rising awareness among individuals about the benefits of intermittent catheterization over other forms, such as indwelling catheters, is supporting the market growth. Healthcare professionals and organizations are increasingly promoting intermittent catheters due to their lower risk of infection and greater convenience for patients. Besides this, rising preferences for at-home care solutions, along with high healthcare costs, are contributing to the market growth. The shift towards home-based care and self-management, especially among the aging population, is impelling the market growth. Patients are seeking comfortable and effective urinary management solutions that can be used independently.
