Global Urine Flow Meters Market: Introduction
A urine flow meter is a medical device used to measure the flow of urine. The measurement of urine flow is known as uroflometry, which is performed to measure the amount of voided urine during urination. This test is used to identify the difficulties in urination such as slow urination, weak urine stream, or difficulty in urination. This test can also be used to check the performance of sphincter muscles that prevent urine leakage. Certain conditions, such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, enlargement of the prostate gland, which can block the urethra completely, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, or urinary blockage, can affect the flow of urine.
Key Drivers of Global Urine Flow Meters Market
Rise in Prevalence of Stress and Urge Urinary Incontinence
The two primary types of urinary incontinence are stress urinary incontinence (urine leak associated with physical exertion) and urgency urinary incontinence (urine leak associated with sudden compelling desire to void). According to the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) and the International Continence Society (ICS) standard definition, stress incontinence is the complaint of urine leakage in association with coughing, sneezing, or physical exertion, whereas urgency incontinence is the complaint of urine leakage associated with a sudden compelling desire to void that is difficult to defer.
Technological Advancements
A newer surgical technique utilizing Argus-T, as a transobturator approach, showed that it appears to be safe and was associated with at least 60% continence rate. The surgical technique on Virtue sling placement was updated in early 2010s with proposed tensioning of the transobturator arm to elevate the bulbous urethra. Such technological advancements are projected to drive the global market during the forecast period.
North America to Account for Major Share of Global Urine Flow Meters Market
North America is projected to account for major share of the global urine flow meters market during the forecast period. It continues to be the most profitable region for vendors operating in the global urine flow meters market owing to rise in prevalence of bladder cancer, early adoption of technologically advanced products, presence of large number of manufacturers in the U.S., and high health care spending. The American Cancer Society estimated new cases of bladder cancer at about 81,190 in 2018. Among these, 62,380 are expected to be men and 18,810 women. Europe is a prominent market for urine flow meters, owing to a rise in the number of prostate cancer patients and high health awareness among people. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a rapid pace, owing to rise in the number of urology clinics, advancements in hospital infrastructure, rise in per capita spending capacity, and a large patient base suffering from cancer. Latin America is projected to be a lucrative market for urine flow meters due to economic growth of countries, rise in population, increase in incidence of cancer, and surge in awareness about available diagnostic technologies such as uroflometry.
