Among the key product types, the intermittent catheters segment is projected to account for a large share of the global market and is likely to retain its position. The high growth of this region can be attributed to the fact that intermittent catheters have quite less chance of obtaining catheter acquired urinary tract infection, which is considered as one of the most common forms of hospital acquired infections in several developed countries. In addition, several advancements in technology in intermittent catheters and the advent of less invasive and more efficient catheters are further projected to encourage the growth of this segment in the next few years.

Increasing urinary incontinence to accelerate market growth

The increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence due to increasing rate of obesity and rising geriatric population is considered as one of the key factors projected to encourage the growth of the global urinary catheters market in the next few years.
