Urinary Self-catheters Market

Expansion in Emerging Economies of Asia Pacific and Latin America to Offer Lucrative Opportunities

• Factor responsible for the expansion of the urinary self-catheters market in Asia Pacific includes increase in geriatric population and number of patients suffering from chronic diseases. Furthermore, rise in the adoption of advanced urinary incontinence products by health care professionals and favorable government reimbursement policies are driving the urinary self-catheters market in Asia Pacific.
• Latin America comprises Brazil, Mexico, and Rest of LATAM. Brazil accounted for the largest share of the urinary self catheters market in Latin America. The trend of acquiring distributors or small domestic players in Latin America is estimated to propel the expansion of the market in the region.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Urinary Self-catheters Market

• Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) have become a major cause of concern for health care providers and professionals across the world. Hence, there is an increase in demand for improved and/or technologically advanced urinary self-catheters globally, especially in developed economies, such as the U.S. and Japan, and Germany.
• Geriatric population suffers from a wide range of urinary disorders, especially urinary incontinence and urinary retention. Hence, increase in elderly population is one of the major growth drivers of the global urinary catheters market.
• Improved health care policies and advanced health care facilities in countries such as the U.S., Japan, the U.K. and countries of Western Europe, along with growing access to various diagnostic and treatment services have increased the life expectancy of people
• Lack of reimbursement policies is one of the major factors restraining the urinary catheters market growth in emerging economies

Intermittent Catheters Segment to Expand Significantly

• Based on product, the global urinary self-catheters market can be divided into intermittent catheters, uncoated intermittent catheters, coated intermittent catheters, antimicrobial intermittent catheters, hydrophilic intermittent catheters, external catheters, and others
• Factors propelling the expansion of the intermittent catheters segment are increase in demand for intermittent catheters, their easy availability, favorable government policies, and affordable pricing

Female Type Catheters Segment to Dominate Global Market

• Based on type, the global urinary self-catheters market can be divided into male type catheter, and female type catheter
• Female type catheter dominated the global market, owing to high usage of urinary-self catheters by females

Spinal Cord Injuries Segment to Expand Significantly

• On the basis of application, the global urinary self-catheters market can be categorized into Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH), urinary incontinence, spinal cord injuries, others
• Spinal cord injuries accounted for the highest market share in 2018, owing to rise in incidence rate of spinal injuries. Moreover, patients with spinal injuries are unable to urinate and use urinary catheters.

Hospitals End-user Segment Dominated Urinary Self-catheters Market

• Based on end-user, the global urinary self-catheters market can be classified into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, dialysis centers, and others
• Growth of the hospitals segment can be attributed to the increased usage of urinary self-catheters in hospitals due to rise in the number of patient admissions

North America to Lead Global Urinary Self-catheters Market

• In terms of region, the global urinary self-catheters market can be segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• Established industrial infrastructure and increase in development of advanced urinary self-catheters are major factors that are likely to propel the expansion of the market in North America during the forecast period. However, rise in demand for minimally invasive catheterization, and government regulations for quality assurance of catheters are anticipated to boost the expansion of the market.
• The U.S. dominated the market in North America due to increased awareness, significant health care budget, early availability of advanced technologies, and extensive research activities carried out in the country
