Individuals experiencing impaired bladder function (retention or incontinence) need a safe and reliable system to gather and contain the urine (for short- or long-term). Clean intermittent self-catheterization is a good alternative for the management of urinary retention. It mimics normal bladder function and allows the bladder to fill and periodically empty entirely, minimizing infection risk. Indwelling catheters are often used by patients who find clean intermittent self-catheterization not feasible. Condom catheters can be used for male patients with urinary incontinence (for short- or long-term use). However, this method carries several disadvantages and may not be suitable for every individual. Efforts are being put in to develop urinary catheters with antiseptic and antimicrobial coatings to decrease the incidence of catheter-related urinary tract infections.
The Europe urinary catheters market is driven by the rising incidence of urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and other urological conditions in the region. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and chronic kidney diseases in Europe is significantly contributing to the expansion of the global urinary catheters market. The advancements in catheter designs, increased focus on preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections and rise in regulatory approval of innovative catheter products are some of the factors influencing the market dynamics in Europe.
Rising Cases of Urinary Incontinence, Especially Among the Elderly, Drives Market Growth
Urinary incontinence is witnessing a high prevalence in Europe. It affects around 14% of people aged 65–69 years and 45% of individuals aged 85 years or above. Further, it is reported that 15-25% of hospitalized patients and 5% of patients in elderly homes have a urinary catheter. In fact, an indwelling urethral catheter is an essential tool for many hospitalized patients. For a long time, urinary catheters have been employed to drain the bladder when it fails to empty. Clean intermittent self-catheterization is considered a good alternative for people with impaired bladder function.
Several people may need an indwelling catheter; for the short and the long term, a Foley catheter has been used. The burden of urinary retention and incontinence (in terms of social, medical, and economic resources) is significant in Europe and is expected to fuel market growth. The number of urinary incontinence cases has also been aggravated by the use of existing catheters, such as Foley catheters. Therefore, efforts are being put in to develop safer and easier catheter systems, which is also anticipated to influence the market dynamics.
The market is witnessing several trends and developments to improve the current scenario in Europe. Some of the notable trends are as follows:
Increased Use of Indwelling Catheter and Clean Intermittent Catheter to Affect the Market Landscape
Recent market trends reveal that indwelling catheter use has increased significantly over the last two decades. The use of clean intermittent catheters has risen as well. The key drivers behind the increase in the use of indwelling and clean intermittent catheters are the advancement in incontinence care for older patients and the incorporation of clean intermittent catheter use into professional guidelines as the preferred practice.
Advancements in Catheter Designs to Fuel Europe Urinary Catheters Market Demand
The rising advancement in catheter designs is a major trend that is expected to augment the market demand. The development of innovative products such as hydrophilic-coated catheters, antimicrobial catheters, and intermittent catheters that are designed to reduce infection risks and improve patient comfort are likely to aid market growth in the forecast period.
Rising Demand for Home Healthcare is Likely to Impact Market Size
The market for catheters designed for home use is growing steading owing to the rising preference for home healthcare among the aging population and patients with chronic conditions. This trend is supported by the development of user-friendly and safer self-catheterization options with improved designs that ensure patient comfort and reduce complications.
Increasing Number of Surgical Procedures Set to Elevate Europe Urinary Catheters Market Value
One of the major market trends is the increased number of surgeries in the European region. The rising post-surgical needs are fuelling the demand for urinary catheters to manage postoperative urinary retention and bladder drainage. Further, the growth in the volume of urological procedures, such as prostate and bladder surgeries, also augments the market value.
