The prevalence of urological diseases – such as urinary retention, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), bladder obstruction, urinary incontinence, and prostate cancer – has witnessed a significant uptick in the recent past. According to the statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 15-25% of hospitalized patients receive a urinary catheter annually. As the number of hospital admissions continues to rise year-on-year, there is a persistent need for foley catheters in hospitals, which are projected to remain a crucial end-use segment.
Likewise, the growing burden of urinary retention, a chronic condition in which individuals cannot voluntarily urinate, is propelling demand for foley catheters to facilitate easy drainage of urine. As per the estimates of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), approximately 4.5 to 6.8 per 1,000 men in the US suffer from urinary retention. As the incidence of disorders continues to grow across the world, the demand for foley catheters is poised to remain high for the years to come.
Along similar lines, the high prevalence of urinary incontinence, a condition that causes the urine to leak involuntarily, is projected to bestow remunerative opportunities to players in the foley catheters market. The severity of urinary incontinence rises with age, with men above 70 being the most affected. The expanding base of the geriatric population will continue to necessitate the usage of foley catheters.
Having analyzed and scrutinized all the aforementioned facets in its new market study, Future Market Insights (FMI) projects that the global foley catheters market will grow in value at a CAGR of nearly 5% between 2020 and 2030. Some of the key takeaways from the report include:

- The global foley catheters market is expected to surge past valuation of US$ 2.2 Bn by the end of 2030.
- By product type, 2-way foley catheters are poised to remain the most sought-out variants, owing to their wide availability and simple installation, and will hold more than half of the overall market value.
- Among materials, latex-based foley catheters are expected to gain an edge over their counterpart, silicon-based foley catheters, backed by their ability to reduce urethral irritation.
- Based on indication, urinary incontinence is expected to remain the largest segment, on the back of high incidence among geriatric population.
- North America will remain at the forefront of the regional landscape ascribed to high expenditure on medical aids coupled with new product approvals.
- Asia Pacific and Europe will continue to bestow remunerative opportunities to market players.
“With catheter-acquired infections being a major challenge to the adoption of foley catheters, manufacturers are focusing on developing products with materials and coatings that aid in reducing accumulation of bacteria, thus restraining the possibility of catheter-acquired infections among patients” remarks FMI analyst.
COVID-19 Impact on Foley Catheters Market
COVID-19 is expected to create slight fluctuations in the growth trajectory of the foley catheters market. There has been a notable shift in priorities of healthcare institutions, with treatment for COVID-19 patients being the utmost priority across the world. Hospitals in severely affected nations such as the US and India have deprioritized non-essential hospitalizations, leading to a downfall in the demand for foley catheters. With urology not being the most concerning healthcare issue currently, the sales of numerous urology care devices, including foley catheters are likely to witness a decline across hospitals. However, the demand for foley catheters in long-term care facilities is poised to remain unhinged through the pandemic, and will continue to drive the sales of these devices.
