Report Code : CVMI2603252601356 | Published Date : March 30, 2025

1 | Market Overview
The global intermittent catheter market is growing steadily due to the increasing incidence of urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder disorders, spinal cord injuries, and post-operative urinary retention. These catheters allow periodic bladder drainage and are considered safer than indwelling (Foley) catheters, which reduce the risk of long-term infections. Innovations in hydrophilic coatings, compact design, and self-lubricating materials are driving product preference across home care, hospitals, and rehabilitation settings.

The market is projected to reach USD 5.7 billion by 2031, driven by aging demographics, enhanced patient education, and reimbursement support in developed regions.

 

3 | Key Market Drivers

  • Rising Urological Disorders: An increase in neurogenic bladder cases, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate surgeries.
  • Aging Population: Increased utilization in geriatric care and post-acute settings.
  • Advancements in coatings include hydrophilic and silicone-based materials that reduce friction and the risk of infection.
  • Shift to Home-Based Use: User-friendly, single-use designs improve adoption among self-catheterizing patients.

 

4 | Market Challenges

  • Product Cost: Premium single-use, hydrophilic catheters can be costly.
  • Infection Risk: Reusing (common in developing regions) increases infection rates.
  • Awareness Gaps: Limited awareness of safe catheterization practices in emerging economies.

 

5 | Competitive Landscape
The market is moderately consolidated with leading medtech firms focusing on user comfort, infection prevention, and discreet packaging.
