Continuous Bladder Irrigation Devices Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Foley 3 Way Catheters, Irrigation Bags, Accessories), By End-use (Hospitals, Long Term Care Facilities, Others), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global continuous bladder irrigation devices market size was valued at USD 1.29 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of the market is due to various factors such as an increase in the number of bladder and prostate surgeries, increasing incidence of urological disorders, such as urinary tract infections, bladder cancer, and kidney stones, rising government initiatives globally, development of more efficient and user-friendly devices, and a rise in the geriatric population. According to NIH, in August 2022, after the age of 60, the prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men will rise 50% to 60 %, and after the age of 70s, it will be rise up to 80% to 90%.

The market growth is anticipated to be fueled by the increasing efforts of various private entities and nonprofit organizations to raise awareness about continuous bladder irrigation devices on a global scale. For example, in January 2021, the Australian Government launched the Incontinence AIDS Payment Scheme to provide support for individuals grappling with persistent or severe incontinence problems. Furthermore, the Australian Government has implemented the National Incontinence Control Program with the aim of enhancing awareness regarding bladder and bowel health issues. Various experts, including urologists, physiotherapists, gynecologists, nurses, general practitioners, and professional associations, actively participate in promoting continence awareness across all realms of healthcare.

In addition to the factors mentioned above, the global market is experiencing consolidation owing to the increasing popularity of medical equipment and the growing prevalence of research collaborations and agreements among various manufacturers. For instance, in March 2023, Convatec Group Plc recently revealed the commencement of a fresh three-year partnership with Partners in Health (PIH), an organization dedicated to establishing fair and accessible healthcare systems in communities that require them most urgently. This collaborative effort initially focuses on enhancing healthcare access for underserved populations in Mexico, Peru, and the U.S, with a goal of positively influencing the lives of 250,000 individuals. Thus, due to such initiatives, the demand for continuous bladder irrigation devices will increase in near future.

For instance, in February 2021, Olympus acquired Medi-Tate to strengthen its business portfolio in the field of in-office treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Olympus exercised its option to acquire Medi-Tate during the same month. This strategic acquisition is expected to significantly enhance Olympus' position in the urological devices segment, which is expected to boost market growth in the near future.  

Moreover, continuous bladder irrigation devices are increasingly seen as a cost-effective and efficient treatment option for various urological conditions. Their ability to manage bladder-related emergencies during surgical procedures makes them indispensable in healthcare settings, contributing to market growth.

Product Insights

In 2022, the foley (3 Way) catheters segment dominated the continuous bladder irrigation devices with a market share of around 56.40%. This growth can be anticipated due to rise in cases of bladder tumor resection, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and hematuria. According to NIH, in August 2022, around 50% of patients from the emergency department were facing hematuria.Increasing prevalence of urological disorders such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), prostate cancer, bladder cancer will further increase the demand for foley (3-way) catheters and contribute to the segment growth.

Whereas the accessories segment is expected to grow at the highest compound annual growth rate of 5.10% (CAGR) from 2023 to 2030. The accessories segment includes irrigation sets, roller clamps, outlet bags, clips, and bulbs. These accessories help in the maintenance of catheter patency, help in prevention of blood clots and minimize the infection risk. Furthermore, continuous bladder irrigation(CBI) accessories assist healthcare providers in controlling the flow rate and volume of sterile solution being infused into the bladder and therefore, contribute to a streamlined healthcare workflow. Thus, the benefits associated with accessories are expected to boost segment growth over the forecast period.

End-use Insights

The hospital segment held the largest share of 53.14% in the market for continuous bladder irrigation devices in 2022. The growth of this segment can be primarily attributed to the rising number of patients experiencing various urological conditions. This, in turn, has led to an upsurge in surgical interventions. Hospitals experience a significantly greater influx of patients seeking urological procedures and other treatments compared to other healthcare settings. This can be attributed to the ease of managing any unforeseen emergencies that may arise during surgical procedures, as well as the availability of a diverse range of treatment options. Consequently, it is expected that the hospitals segment will be positively influenced by these factors.

The long-term care facilities segment is expected to grow at the highest compound annual growth rate over the forecast period. Long-term care facilities plays an important role in the management of continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) and focus on maintaining hygiene and seeking appropriate medical assistance when needed. Long-term care facilities can offer a controlled environment with a lower risk of exposure to hospital-acquired infections, which is especially beneficial for residents using CBI devices. As a result of the factors discussed above, long-term care facilities segment is expected to rise rapidly over the forecast period.  

Regional Insights

North America dominated the continuous bladder irrigation devices regional market in 2022 with the largest share of around 31.83% by revenue. In North America urology is a well-established medical field with a significant number of medical professionals specializing in it. The developed healthcare systems in North America nations provide a wide range of urological services, such as diagnosis, therapy, and operations. Various initiatives in the field of urology in countries such as the U.S. and Canada are contributing to the growth of the regional market.  For instance, in September 2023, The Urology Foundation launched a program titled "Urology Awareness Month 2023." This program aims to bring together the urology community, including researchers, urologists, nurses, other healthcare professionals, decision-makers, influencers, patients, and their families, for a significant initiative aimed at promoting awareness of urological disorders.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2030. Rising prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urinary tract infection (UTI) in Asia Pacific region is expected to boost demand for continuous bladder irrigation devices in this region. For instance, in November 2022, China has the highest number of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) clinical trials. Additionally, there is a high need for colostomies in nations like China and India, where many people have bladder problems. Most geriatric people are more likely to develop stomas and undergo ileostomy and colostomy procedures. As a result, the demand for CBI care products and accessories in Asia Pacific is expanding because of the rising geriatric population as well as the rising number of people with bladder diseases.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The competitors in the market are enforcing higher product quality through mergers and acquisitions to gain a larger share of the market. For instance, in July 2023, Teleflex acquire Palette Life Sciences for USD 600 million to expand their urology portfolio, with the acquisition of Palette Life Sciences, Teleflex will be able to add the latest technology to its interventional urology business line, giving urologists, radiation oncologists, and other specialists access to more cutting-edge tools that will improve patient care. For instance, in October 2022, Hollister Incorporated published a study on patient support programs through the Journal of Wound Ostomy & Continence Nursing (JWOCN). This study focuses on connecting support service interactions to offer enhanced results in areas of skin health, stoma barrier leakage, and proper fit. Thus, due to such factors, the demand for continuous bladder irrigation devices will increase in the near future.
