Europe Urinary Catheters Market

Europe Urinary Catheters Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The European Urinary Catheters Market size is estimated to grow USD 2.19 billion by the end of 2028. The European region was accounted for a market share of 31% in the global market in 2023.

A urinary catheter is a hollow, somewhat flexible tube attached to a drainage bag and is used to collect urine from the urinary bladder. These catheters are used for various reasons, including urine incontinence, BPH, accidents, and during or after surgery. Urinary catheters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the patient’s needs.

Product offerings must be optimized in the current European market environment through effective innovation technologies, strategies, planning, and improved supply chain management. These strategies will provide a lucrative opportunity for big and local urinary catheter manufacturers to commercialize their product offerings on a broad scale in Europe and fuel the market’s growth throughout the forecast period. In addition, players in the European market are investing in urinary catheter research and development to provide goods resistant to microbial contamination. By the conclusion of the prediction period, this is expected to have fueled the uptake of urinary catheters.

During the forecast period, the rapidly increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence in European areas, particularly in nations such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy, is expected to boost the European urinary catheters market growth. Furthermore, the market is further rising due to a rise in prevalence and growing preference among patients and healthcare professionals for catheters to treat urine incontinence. Moreover, during the projected period, Europe’s aging population is expected to drive up the demand for urinary catheters.

According to Eurocarers data, the prevalence of urine incontinence in women over 70 years of age in Europe ranges from 5.0% to 15.0%. This, together with a shift in patient’s perspectives towards self-care and an increase in educational programs aimed at teaching self-catheterization to patients in-home care settings, is expected to propel the European urinary catheters market forward during the forecast period.

Urinary catheter demand and adoption in European healthcare settings are being driven by increased surgical procedures combined with longer hospital stays.

However, high costs associated with the treatment of urinary catheters and lack of awareness among the patients regarding the usage are hampering the market growth to a small extent. In addition, strict rules and regulations for the approval of the product devices and their manufacturing by the key players in this region also hinder the market growth.
