What Will Be The Estimated Market Valuation Of The Intermittent Catheters Market By The End Of 2030?

The intermittent catheters market has demonstrated strong growth in recent years. It is forecast to grow from $2.65 billion in 2025 to $2.83 billion in 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. Historically, this expansion has been driven by the increasing prevalence of urinary disorders, a rising number of spinal cord injury cases, the broadening of urological procedures, the growth in the aging population, and the availability of disposable catheter products.

The intermittent catheters market is anticipated to show robust expansion over the next few years. It is projected to grow to $3.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. This growth during the forecast period stems from factors such as the increasing adoption of self-catheterization, a rising demand for catheter designs that reduce infection, the expansion of home healthcare services, a growing emphasis on patient-centric urology care, and technological advancements in catheter materials. Key trends expected in this period involve an increasing demand for hydrophilic coated catheters, a rising preference for single-use intermittent catheters, the growing adoption of antimicrobial coatings, the expansion of home-based catheterization practices, and an enhanced focus on patient comfort and ease of use.

Which Market Drivers Are Supporting The Expansion Of The Intermittent Catheters Market?

The intermittent catheters market is anticipated to expand in the future due to increasing healthcare spending. This spending encompasses all funds dedicated to health-related products and services within a nation’s healthcare framework. Elevated healthcare costs are a result of increased funding directed towards hospital facilities, patient support, and the acquisition of vital medical equipment. This trend directly aids intermittent catheters, as greater financial outlay allows for easier availability, broader clinical application, and better assistance for individuals needing bladder management. As an illustration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federal agency in the US, reported in June 2025 that U.S. national health expenditure is forecast to rise by 8.2% in 2024, an increase from 7.5% in 2023, signaling a quickening pace of spending. Consequently, the expansion of the intermittent catheters market is fueled by the escalating healthcare expenditure.

How Are Trends Impacting The Intermittent Catheters Market?

Major companies in the intermittent catheters market are focusing on developing next-generation material technologies, such as FeelClean technologies, to improve user comfort, minimize urethral irritation, and eliminate residual mess during catheterization. FeelClean Technology refers to an innovation in catheter design where hydrophilic properties are embedded directly into the catheter’s base material, rather than applied as an external coating, thereby reducing friction during insertion and preventing stickiness or residue upon removal. For instance, in October 2024, Convatec Group Plc, a UK-based medical technology company, launched its GentleCath Air for Women intermittent catheter, incorporating advanced FeelClean Technology. This technology features a compact, discreet design that enhances portability and ease of use. It includes a no-touch system to reduce the risk of contamination and improve hygiene during catheterization. Additionally, the advanced FeelClean Technology provides a smoother, more comfortable insertion experience, minimizing discomfort for users.
