Growth Factors in the Intermittent Catheters Industry:

• Increasing Prevalence of Urological Disorders

The rising prevalence of urological illnesses such as urine retention, cystitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary incontinence, and kidney stones, which cause bladder dysfunction, are among the primary causes expected to boost product demand globally. The increasing number of patients suffering from such urinary dysfunctions necessitates catheterization for urine management and drainage, and hence demand for these products is likely to drive market growth. According to the National Health Service (NHS) England, around 61% of men in the general population of UK experience lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) while 34% of UK women experience urinary incontinence. Therefore, the growing incidence of urological dysfunctions and related surgeries has accelerated the demand for intermittent catheters for post-operative convenience.

• Rising Adoption of Appropriate Reimbursement Rules

Urinary retention is more prevalent in individuals with bladder neck obstruction, neurological issues, and posterior urethral stricture. With Medicare and Medicaid covering intermittent catheterization under certain criteria, patients can receive up to 120 catheters per month through Medicaid, and up to 200 through Medicare if they meet the specific conditions. These programs cover a variety of catheter types, including straight, coude, and those with advanced features like hydrophilic and antimicrobial coatings. Additionally, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have released guidelines for managing urinary incontinence in nursing homes, alongside online training for staff. Due to a higher level of understanding and the implementation of suitable payment regulations, it is probable that spending on research and development for innovative and affordable catheters will increase.

• Growing Geriatric Population

Intermittent catheters are frequently used by older individuals for issues including urine retention, incontinence, pressure sores, and cancer. Healthcare professionals frequently employ these catheters to reduce the demands associated with providing continuous care for elderly patients. Additionally, intermittent catheters remain essential in post-surgical settings where patient mobility is limited. The rise in aging population with rising disease burden across the globe is expected to result in a growing demand for these catheters. Patients suffering from chronic illnesses require catheterization in order to facilitate bladder emptying, thereby driving the growth of the market and creating a positive intermittent catheters market outlook.

Key Trends in the Intermittent Catheters Market

• Innovation in Catheter Design and Materials

Manufacturers are consistently leveraging modern materials and innovative designs to make catheters more user-friendly while minimizing complications. The market has seen rapid product innovation, resulting in more user-friendly and comfortable catheters including hydrophilic and pre-lubricated options, which are gaining popularity for their ease of use and reduced friction. This shift towards advanced catheter options is reflecting the industry's growing emphasis on patient-centric solutions, which is propelling market growth.

• Growing Focus on Home Healthcare

There is a strong focus on home healthcare, with many patients opting for self-catheterization due to the convenience and cost-effectiveness it offers. The rise in self-catheterization practices driven by patient education and awareness about urological health is driving the increasing adoption of these catheters. This trend toward home-based care is reducing hospital visits and improving patient quality of life while supporting market expansion.

• Strategic Expansion in Emerging Markets

Key players in the market are driving growth through strategic partnerships and expansion into emerging markets. Companies are expanding distribution networks, particularly in emerging economies, to tap into the growing demand in these regions. They are also focusing on strategic acquisitions and collaborations to strengthen their market presence, further fueling market growth and competitive dynamics.
