The global urinary catheters market is anticipated to grow with an impressive CAGR in the forecast period.  Factors like increasing cases of urinary incontinence, urinary retentions, and various other urological disorders are driving the global urinary catheters market growth. Moreover, surgical procedures like hysterectomy or hip fractures often leave the patient bedridden and incapable of discharging urine; urinary catheter facilitates the urinary release, thereby creating more demand for urinary catheters. The catheterization can also be performed due to urethral injury; birth defects affecting the urinary tract, kidneys, ureters or bladder stones; nerve damage; bladder weakness; tumors in the urinary tract or reproductive organs; enlarged prostate in males; and blockage of the urethra. A Furthermore, cases of urothelial cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and the increasing number of geriatric populations are driving the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Increasing Prevalence of Urological Disorders
The growing cases of urological disorders such as urinary infections, urological disorders, such as cystitis, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and kidney stones, which lead to bladder dysfunction, are some of the major factors that are anticipated to drive the product demand globally. For instance, according to the Continence Foundation of Australia 2020 data, incontinence affects one in four adult Australians. Furthermore, the data also signifies that around 38% of Australian women and approximately 10% of Australian men were affected with urinary incontinence. Additionally, the data reveals that in the male the urge incontinence is low in younger men and increases up to 30% for men aged 70-84 and is around 50% for men above 85 years. The growing number of patients suffering from such urinary disorders require catheterization for the management of the condition along with the drainage of urine. Also, urinary incontinence due to conditions such as prostate enlargement among man creates a constant market demand for urinary catheters conditions. The prostate gland, which is located near the bladder in men, can become enlarged with age, leading to difficulty urinating. In severe cases, urinary catheters may be necessary to help drain the bladder. Another condition known as urinary strictures are the blockages and narrowing in the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Urinary catheters can  be necessary to bypass the stricture and allow urine to pass and therefore create an open opportunity for urinary catheters demand and add to the market growth in the forecast period.

Growing Geriatric Population Across the Globe
The old age population is rising across the globe and is generally susceptible to urinary problems and disorders such as urinary incontinence and retention, therefore the use of urinary catheters is expected to increase with ageing. Urinary incontinence is a highly prevalent condition in older people aged 60 years and above. According to World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People, the global geriatric population the prevalence of urinary incontinence reported in population-based studies ranges from 9.9% to 36.1% and is twice as high in older women as in older men. The demand for urinary catheters is driven by the increasing number of elderly patients who require medical care. The elderly population is more likely to suffer from conditions such as urinary incontinence or prostate enlargement, which require the use of catheters. Additionally, as the elderly population grows, so does the number of people with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, which can also increase the risk of urinary incontinence. Increasing prevalence of conditions such as urinary retention is experienced among the patients of spinal cord injury/disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebrovascular accident or enlarged prostrate. Most of these conditions increase with growing age and are highly prevalence among the population. Additionally, the urinary catheters are associated with short-term incidents among the geriatric population during the conditions of their post-operative care for monitoring their urinary output and discharge. Furthermore, urinary catheters laced with  protection from urinary tract infections are highly introduced in the market and are therefore used for the patient’s ease. For instance, BIP foley catheter , introduced by Bactiguard, preventing odor, encrustation, and catheter blockage , reducing antibiotic usage, hydrogel coating introduced for easy introduction and avoiding blockage. The frequent urination and urinary retention, incontinence, pressure ulcers, etc., conditions among the geriatric are the most common and strong factors propelling higher demand from the urinary catheters market and therefore are expected to propel the market growth in the forecast period.

Technological Advancement in the Urinary Catheter’s Equipment
Urinary catheters are primarily used for the draining urine after surgeries and in conditions of urinary incontinence. The urinary catheters associated with the treatments majorly result in urinary tract infections resulting due to the bacteria travelling up the bladder and causing infection such as septicemia and pyelonephritis. According to the Centre for Disease control and prevention Among Urinary tract infection (UTIs) the major 75%  infections are associated with the urinary catheters. The major reason behind the infection is the use of non-non-ideal materials in the fabrication of urinary catheters. To reduce the risk of infection, many catheters now come with antibacterial coatings. These coatings release antimicrobial agents that prevent the growth of bacteria on the catheter surface, reducing the risk of infection. Additionally, Hydrophilic coatings are designed to reduce the friction between the catheter and the urethra, making it easier to insert and remove the catheter. These coatings are activated by water, allowing the catheter to become slick and lubricated for easier insertion and removal. The technical advancement in catheters is usually considered depending on the duration of usage of catheters and on the duration of how often it should be changed.  Also, closed catheter systems are designed to reduce the risk of infection by minimizing the exposure of the catheter to the environment. These systems consist of a pre-connected catheter and drainage bag, reducing the risk of contamination during the catheterization process. For instance, for a person using indwelling catheters, the catheter material should be considered easily such as using latex catheters with Teflon coatings (polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE), can be left in the body for around 28 days, whereas the hydrogel coated catheters and silicone(or silicone-coated latex)  catheters are found easy  to insert and removal ,providing less friction. Thus, the silicone and hydrogel-coated catheters are suggested by the International Continence Society (ICS) for the long term usage and thereby are driving the catheters market growth and are expected to propel it in the forecast period.  

Additionally, Factors such as visual ability, dexterity, mental acuity, mobility, lifestyle, physical characteristics, and personal preferences, along with the conditions if the caregivers are involved or not, are the deciding factor for  selecting the appropriate catheter drainage equipment such as straps to support the bags, leg bags or belly bags.

The global urinary catheters market may face minor challenges from products like adult pull-on pants, adult diapers, and disposable incontinence devices the market. If the insertion of urinary catheters is not done with proper medical attention, it may also cause some infection which can be a major drawback for the global urinary catheters market growth.
