The global intermittent catheters market was valued at US$ 1.6 Bn in 2021, with an estimated CAGR of 4.8% for the next ten years. A comprehensive industry study by Persistence Market Research reveals that the market will increase to a valuation of around US$ 2.6 Bn at the end of 2032.
According to Persistence Market Research, coated intermittent catheters held a market value of around US$ 1 Bn in 2021, accounting for nearly 64.5% of the overall market share. Sales of intermittent catheters increased at a CAGR of 4.5% over the last nine years (2012-2021) and currently account for 52.9% share of the global urinary catheters market.
An intermittent catheter is a medical device used to urinate. It provides a workable replacement for a catheter, which continuously drains. Intermittent catheterization is the most effective method for individuals with spinal cord injuries and neurogenic bladder problems to empty their bladders.
Increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence is expected to drive the demand for intermittent catheters. Intermittent catheterization is a process in which a catheter is inserted into the bladder of the patient for urine drainage or collection. Urinary incontinence is a medical condition that leads to the loss of bladder control and sometimes results in leaking urine while coughing or sneezing and having the urge to urinate urgently.
The elderly for problems such as urine retention, incontinence, pressure ulcers, and cancer commonly use intermittent catheters. Because this demographic requires continuous care monitoring, many healthcare professionals use them to reduce their workload when caring for older patients. Even in post-surgical situations, intermittent catheters are required because patients are not allowed to move.
The need for intermittent catheters is thus anticipated to rise due to the growing geriatric population and the increasing disease burden globally. The requirement for hospitalization is growing along with the incidence of chronic diseases such as endocrine, cardiovascular, renal, and urological illnesses. Patients with such persistent illnesses need to be catheterized to some extent to empty their bladders, which is boosting the market's expansion.
Furthermore, increasing incidence of bladder control problems and urinary-related issues, particularly in countries such as the U.S., Australia, the U.K., etc., is driving market growth.
Moreover, growing awareness among physicians and patients regarding the benefits of catheterization is expected to boost the demand for intermittent catheters over the coming years.

“Unmet Needs of Large Patient Pool in Developing Regions”
Urine problems such as urinary retention and incontinence affect a sizable segment of the global geriatric population 65 years of age or older. Urinary catheter use among the elderly is rising in industrialized regions such as North America, Western Europe, and Japan.
In contrast, the penetration of urinary catheter use is very low in developing regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America, which indicates room for additional market growth in these regions. Additionally, leading market participants anticipate that rising healthcare spending and increased patient & physician awareness in developing nations such as China, Russia, and India would create significant growth prospects for them.
Companies are investing in R&D initiatives to produce biocompatible urinary catheters. Silicone is utilized more frequently to produce urinary catheters because of its resistance to chemicals and insensitivity to temperature changes.
Urinary catheters made of silicone help lower the risk of trigonitis, meatitis, and urethritis. Silicone and latex are the two materials that are most widely utilized. Less latex is being used to create urinary catheters, nevertheless, as it has been demonstrated that latex can lead to allergies and infections.
Furthermore, silicone catheters do not require frequent replacement as latex catheters do. To keep a hold of their positions in the global market for intermittent catheters, major players are introducing new devices.
“Growing Incidence Urinary Tract Infections Associated With Use of Catheters”
Incidence of urinary tract infections associated with the use of catheters is increasing among patients, which is becoming a major challenge for healthcare professionals and institutions. Most catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are attributed to the use of intermittent catheters during urinary catheterization
The global market for intermittent catheters is predicted to develop slowly due to the availability of disposable incontinence products such as adult diapers and pull-on absorbent trousers, which serve as substitutes for external catheters that need to be changed every day. Additionally, governments of major countries such as the U.S., U.K., and Australia have been offering various reimbursement programs for the purchase of disposable incontinence products, which is anticipated to hamper market growth during the forecast period.
Why are Intermittent Catheter Manufacturers Targeting the U.S.?
“Increasing Demand for Medical Devices and Growing Focus on Technology Advancement”
In 2021, the U.S. accounted for a market share of 86.1% of the North American intermittent catheters market.
Demand for intermittent catheters is increasing in the U.S due to the rising number of medical device and surgical instrument companies in the country and improvements in quality control systems in the industrial market. In addition, increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence in the U.S. is driving product demand.
How is Demand for Intermittent Catheters Shaping Up in Germany?
“Opportunities for New Technologies”
Germany accounted for 27.8% of the market share in Europe in 2021. Rise in the demand for intermittent catheters in Germany is primarily due to the increasing geriatric population in the country.
Furthermore, there are many ongoing research studies being done to provide safe alternatives for catheterization. All these factors make Germany a lucrative market for intermittent catheters.
Why is Japan Considered a Lucrative Market for Intermittent Catheter Suppliers?
“Increasing Number of Clinics in the Country”
Japan accounted for 36.7% of the market share in East Asia in 2021. This is primarily due to a large number of hospitals and the high availability of hospital beds per 1,000 people in the country.
Which Type of Intermittent Catheter is Most Widely Used?
“High Demand for Coated Intermittent Catheters”
Coated intermittent catheters accounted for the highest market share of 64.5% by revenue in 2021.
Comfortable insertion, decreased risk of urethral injury, low risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection, and higher patient satisfaction are factors that have contributed to this high revenue share. Coated catheters reduce bacterial adherence because they have a low degree of friction and are durable, biocompatible, and biocompatible.
Additionally, coated catheters have low coefficients of friction, are solvent-resistant, allow for aqueous interactions, and inhibit thrombosis.
For What are Intermittent Catheters Used the Most?
“Prostate Gland Surgeries Continue to Account for Highest Market Share”
When treating benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH-afflicted men's prostate glands, intermittent catheters are most widely used.
This disorder is also linked to pregnancy and may result from harm or injury to the urethra, penis, or bladder. Intermittent catheter use in prostate gland surgery continues to be the most lucrative segment of the industry and accounted for 38% market revenue share in 2021.
Companies manufacturing intermittent catheters are actively looking to improve their position through partnerships, acquisitions, collaborations, and approvals with both existing and upcoming market participants.
