Plastic Catheter Market Size To Reach $6.38 Billion By 2030

Plastic Catheter Market Growth & Trends

The global plastic catheter market is anticipated to reach USD 6.38 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market represents a critical segment of the global medical devices industry, defined by its adaptability, biocompatibility and cost-efficiency.

Catheters manufactured from advanced synthetic polymers serve a broad spectrum of clinical applications-from urinary drainage and cardiovascular interventions to neurovascular and gastrointestinal procedures. Their single-use design reduces cross-contamination risks, while customizable lumen configurations, tip shapes and material blends enable clinicians to optimize device performance for specific patient anatomies and procedural requirements.

One of the principal drivers propelling market expansion is the surging incidence of chronic conditions such as urinary incontinence, renal failure and cardiovascular disorders, which necessitate routine catheterization in both acute-care and long-term settings. Concurrently, the shift toward minimally invasive surgical techniques have heightened demand for highly flexible, kink-resistant catheters that can navigate complex vascular pathways with minimal tissue trauma.

Advances in polymer chemistry, such as antimicrobial coatings and hydrogel-lubricated surfaces, further enhance safety and patient comfort, reinforcing plastic catheters as the preferred choice for modern healthcare providers.

The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in January 2025, Zeus, a company specializing in advanced polymer solutions, launched its next-generation film-cast PTFE liners. These new liners offered improved strength, flexibility, and consistency, making them ideal for use in medical device manufacturing.
