Foley Catheters Market Trends

• Growing demand from emerging market is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for foley catheters is being driven by the rising demand from emerging market. The most popular kind of urinary catheter is the sterile, flexible, thin tube known as the Foley catheter. Latex or silicones are used in their production. In addition to urinary incontinence and other acute and chronic problems, Foley catheters are also used to drain urine from patients who have limited mobility or are immobilized. Depending on the patient's needs and condition, these devices are favored for both shorter and longer periods of time.

Additionally, it is anticipated that the need for indwelling catheters would increase due to rising rates of urine incontinence and BPH globally. For instance, according to the NHS, the prevalence of BPH in the UK is said to increase from 50% among men between the ages of 50 and 60 to 90% among males 80 years and older. However, it is projected that the lack of reimbursement regulations and the expensive cost of Foley catheters in developing nations may slow down the uptake of catheters that are embedded in these areas. Additionally, continuous usage of Foley catheters may result in urinary tract infections (UTI), discomfort, and bladder spasms for the patient, which is preventing the growth of the Foley catheters market throughout the course of the projected period.

It is anticipated that the slow acceptance of indwelling catheters will be hampered by the absence of insurance coverage in underdeveloped nations and the expensive price of Foley catheters. Additionally, prolonged use of Foley catheters has been linked to urinary tract infections (UTI), bladder spasms, and patient discomfort, all of which are expected to restrain the market growth for these devices over the course of the projected period. The procedure is uncomfortable, though. Poorly lubricated catheters are used for the procedure's insertion and removal, which causes friction to build up between the device's surface and the urethral walls. These might not initially hurt, but continued usage could cause the urethra to constrict, increasing the risk of bleeding and infection.

For instance, the U.S. Bureau of Health and Services also reports that in 2015, urinary incontinence affected around 13 million Americans. So, one of the main factors driving the adoption rate of Foley catheters for long-term catheterization in healthcare settings globally is the increased prevalence of urine incontinence among the population. Thus, result in driving the Foley Catheters market revenue.

Foley Catheters Market Segment Insights

Foley Catheters Type Insights

The Foley Catheters market segmentation, based on type includes 3-way Catheters, 2-way Catheters, 4-way Catheters, and Others. The 2-way catheters dominated the market. The most popular kind of indwelling catheter is the 2-way Foley catheter, which has two passageways, one for urination and the other for releasing and inflating balloons. On 2-way foley catheters, there are two connectors: one is used to release urine from the bladder, while the other inflates the balloon.

Foley Catheters Material Insights

The Foley Catheters market segmentation, based on Material, includes Silicone, Latex, Hydrophilic Polymer Coated Latex, Silicone Elastomer Coated Latex, Polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE (Teflon) Coated Latex, and Others. The silicone category generated the most income in 2022. These catheters feature a lubricious exterior that has silver ions pumped into it continuously. It also features a special surface alteration technique that uses covalent bonding to keep it linked to the silicone surface. Ionic bonding retains the silver in the hydrophilic coating. A silicone foley catheter's key benefit is that it is non-allergenic and effective for people with sensitive skin.

Foley Catheters End-users Insights

The Foley Catheters market segmentation, based on End-users, includes Hospitals, Medical Research Center, and Ambulatory Surgery Centers. The hospitals category generated the most income in the year 2022. The expansion of this market is mostly attributable to a surge in the number of urological illness patients, which has led to a surge in surgical procedures. Due to the ease of handling any crises this could occur during surgical procedures and the availability of numerous treatment alternatives, hospitals receive a significantly higher influx of patients for urological surgeries or other treatments than other types of healthcare.
