Foley catheters Market Size also known as urinary catheters, are flexible tubes that are passed through the urethra and bladder to facilitate easy drainage of urine. They are considered essential in the urology sector, aiding patients with bladder dysfunctions to drain urine into urine bags, and reducing urology-related complications. 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.
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.
