Catheter Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Cardiovascular, Urology, Intravenous, Neurovascular, Specialty), By Distribution Channel (Hospital, Retail Stores), And Segment Forecast, 2019 - 2026

Industry Insights

The global catheter market size was valued at USD 37.3 billion in 2018 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 9.7% over the forecast period. Rising prevalence of chronic disorders leading to hospitalization has fueled the growth of this market. Presence of multi-national manufacturers, improving medical facilities, supportive insurance policies are also some of the key factors propelling the market growth.

Cardiovascular, urology, and neurology diseases have become the most dominant cause of mortality and morbidity in the world during the last three decades. Rising cases of diabetes, Cardiovascular Disorders (CVDs), urology disorders, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and other chronic conditions due to sedentary lifestyle are propelling the market growth.

Increasing number of surgeries being performed due to rising cases of chronic diseases is expected to increase the demand for catheters, which will drive the market. Rising awareness about the product has also boosted its demand. In addition, increasing number of midscale catheter manufacturers gaining a higher market share is expected to promote the market growth.

Furthermore, rise in funding by various government bodies and medical device manufacturers for R&D will boost the catheter market growth. However, requirement of intensive capital for the development of advanced devices may obstruct market development. North America was the dominant regional market in 2018. However, Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the presence of target population and improving medical facilities.

Product Insights

Based on the product, the market is segmented into cardiovascular, urology, intravenous, neurovascular and specialty catheters. The cardiovascular segment is further segmented into four categories where Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) balloon was the dominant sub-segment with over 30% of the market share in 2018. Intermittent catheters have highest market value in the urology segment owning to increasing geriatric population.

Peripheral and wound surgical catheters dominate the intravenous and specialty segments respectively. The repeated product usage leads to Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections and Central Line-associated Blood Stream Infection. As a solution to this, companies have introduced antimicrobial products to reduce such infections.

Distribution Channel Insights

On the basis of distribution channel, the market is divided into hospital stores, retail stores, and others (online stores). Hospital stores was the largest segment in 2018. It projected to expand further and maintain its leading position on account of increasing number of patients being admitted in hospitals due to surgeries, therapies, and treatments.

The retail stores segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing cases of urological issues. The others or online stores segment is also likely to witness significant development from 2019 to 2026 due to growing popularity and usage of e-commerce platforms.

Regional Insights

North America is the largest regional market due to the presence of multi-national manufacturers and sophisticated healthcare infrastructure along with high product awareness levels. Asia Pacific is projected to expand at the maximum CAGR of 10.4%, over the study period. Presence of target population suffering from kidney and cardiovascular problems and improving medical facilities in the region lead to market growth. Favorable government policies, product launches and approvals, and innovations in the field are expected to further boost the regional market growth.
