Urinary Drainage Bags Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Large Bags, Leg Bags), By Usage (Reusable, Disposable), By Capacity (0-500 Ml, 500-1000 Ml), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global urinary drainage bags market size was valued at USD 1.92 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.79% from 2022 to 2030. A rapid rise in the geriatric population is one of the key factors responsible for the increasing demand for urinary drainage bags as they are prone to urinary infections. Aging leads to certain changes in the lower urinary system. It includes reduced bladder capacity & feeling of fullness, decreased pelvic floor muscle resistance, reduced rate of detrusor muscle contraction, and elevated residual urine volume. Moreover, the geriatric population also faces bladder control issues, such as leakage or Urinary Incontinence (UI) or retention, and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Urinary incontinence is a common problem among persons aged 60 years and above, according to the WHO. According to the same source, the geriatric population across the globe is anticipated to increase from 7.0% in 2000 to 16.0% t in 2050. Furthermore, according to a study published in the BMC Geriatrics journal, the prevalence of incontinence among elderly women in Egypt (2020) is expected to be around 80%. The increasing prevalence of end-stage renal diseases due to the rising cases of hypertension and diabetes will also drive the market. According to the report published by the WHO in 2021, around 1.13 billion people worldwide have hypertension. Diabetes is the primary cause of advanced renal failure, followed by hypertension.

According to the report published by the CDC in 2021, around 34.2 million Americans (1 in 10) have diabetes. Moreover, as per the WHO estimates, in 2019, around 1.5 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes. The increasing prevalence of urological disorders, such as urinary retention, cystitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary incontinence, and kidney stones, which lead to bladder dysfunction are also among the major factors that will boost the product demand globally. UI is one of the major medical conditions, in which, urinary drainage bags play a key role in collecting urine, especially in bedridden patients or patients with limited mobility. UI is the most common condition in men and women across the world. For instance, as per the National Health Service (NHS) England, around 61% of the male population and around 34% of women are suffering from lower urinary tract conditions.

Furthermore, according to Phoenix Physical Therapy, 200 million people are affected by UI worldwide. Thus, the rising incidence of urological dysfunctions and related surgeries has augmented the product demand for post-operative convenience. Increasing initiatives by various nonprofit organizations and private players to raise awareness regarding incontinence care are also expected to boost the product demand across the globe. For instance, the World Federation of Incontinence Patients (WFIP) introduced an annual initiative, “World Continence Week”, with the approval of the International Incontinence Society. This global-level initiative helps spread awareness related to UI, bladder weakness, and other conditions.

In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the U.S issued guidelines for UI care in nursing homes and offered staff web-based instructions. Similarly, the Bladder and Bowel Foundation and Education & Resources for Improving Childhood Continence (ERIC) collaborated to launch the “Love Your Gusset” awareness campaign, which aimed at increasing the awareness about the stress UI in women. The management of incontinence care is projected to be simplified as a result of these approaches. As a result of increased awareness and the adoption of appropriate reimbursement rules, expenditures in R&D to create cost-effective and novel drainage bags are likely to increase.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed numerous obstacles to the global healthcare industry. Inadequate medical facilities for patients with various diseases resulted from limited access to medical care. Due to the lack of immunity, the elderly and patients with various comorbidities were at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19. As a result of the increased hospital admission rates due to COVID-19, the product is expected to be in high demand in hospital settings to provide effective patient care. As a result, even when the pandemic is over, the market is likely to increase significantly and steadily. In addition, the adoption of teleconsultation services by patients with urological conditions is encouraged by the governments of different countries to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Many patients have adopted online counseling for their health-related concerns. Many market players are launching platforms to provide online counseling and guidance to patients who cannot visit healthcare facilities for treatment. For instance, in India, Friends, the adult diaper brand from Nobel Hygiene launched a new campaign asking everyone to identify the symptoms as they spent more time at home during the lockdown period. This campaign highlights the issue of UI that is faced by the elderly in their families and offers telematic assistance to continue taking care of patients suffering from UI.

Such factors are expected to positively impact the product demand during the forecast period. Growing healthcare expenditure is a major concern and private players and governments are constantly striving to curb these costs. With a rise in the baby boomer population and the constant increase in the prevalence of diseases, healthcare expenditure is expected to increase during the forecast period. The growth of home healthcare as a cost-effective alternative to hospital stays is also expected to positively impact the market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, the demand for home healthcare among the aging population is also increasing to avoid visiting healthcare facilities.

Thus, hospitals are expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the global market in 2021 with a revenue share of over 39.5% and is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecast period. The regional market is mainly driven by the rising incidence of targeted diseases, such as bladder obstruction, UI, Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH), urinary retention, and bladder cancer. For instance, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), more than 250,000 patients with BPH undergo surgical procedures every year. As per the Canadian Cancer Society, in 2020, around 12,200 people were diagnosed with bladder cancer, and 2,600 people died due to bladder cancer.

Thus, an increasing number of BPH-related surgical procedures and rising cases of bladder cancer are driving the regional market. Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is anticipated to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The increasing prevalence of spinal cord injury, BPH, and UTI is driving the regional market. UTI is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in this region. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in hospitals, and puts a substantial financial burden on the community. Thus, rising risks of UTI, particularly in women with increasing age, constipation, vaginal deliveries, parity, obesity, surgery, and chronic respiratory problems, such as cough, are driving the market in Asia Pacific.
