The global intermittent catheters market size reached USD 2.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.72% during 2025-2033. The market is majorly driven by the expansion of healthcare insurance coverage, increasing number of surgeries requiring catheterization, rising preference for minimally invasive procedures, growing prevalence of neurological disorders, rapid technological advancements in catheter design, and the increasing geriatric population.
Intermittent catheterization is a procedure of inserting and removing a catheter to drain urine from a bladder. It is an effective bladder management strategy for patients with incomplete bladder emptying due to idiopathic or neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) dysfunction, inflammation, neurological conditions, pharmacological agents, and physical bladder obstruction. It is easy to use and convenient while preventing a distended bladder or a urinary tract infection (UTI). Besides this, as it avoids leaking, blockage, and bladder spasms, the demand for intermittent catheters are increasing across the globe.
Intermittent Catheters Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the number of patients suffering from urinary tract infections (UTIs) and blockages in the urethra around the world. This, along with the growing incidences of tumors in the urinary tract or reproductive organs, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, the rising prevalence of urological disorders, such as cystitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and kidney stones, among the masses is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for intermittent catheters in various medical conditions, such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or dementia. This, coupled with the burgeoning healthcare industry, is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce coated urine catheters with temperature monitoring for enhanced protection against secondary infections. They are also launching platforms for providing online counseling and guidance to patients who cannot visit healthcare facilities for treatment. Apart from this, the escalating demand for novel catheters, such as hydrophilic antimicrobial intermittent catheters, is bolstering the growth of the market.
