Product Type (Indwelling, Intermittent, External)
The global drainage catheter market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product type into the indwelling catheter, intermittent catheter, and external catheter. Out of the three types, the indwelling catheter segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of urinary retention. Chronic issues, such as a pelvic floor or prostate problems, can sometimes cause urine retention, or it can be caused by obstructions in the urinary system, such as those from bladder stones. In such cases, an indwelling catheter is inserted for continuous drainage of the bladder for individuals for whom clean intermittent self-catheterization is not possible. Further, by connecting to a drainage bag, an indwelling catheter collects urine. As per data, acute urine retention affects more than 10% of elderly males worldwide, and the likelihood increases with advancing age.
End-user (Hospitals, Clinics, Specialized Day Care Centers, Ambulatory Surgical Centers)
The global drainage catheter market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into hospitals, clinics, specialized day care centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Amongst these five segments, the hospital segment is expected to garner a significant share. Catheters are used for various procedures in hospitals. Patients in hospitals who need urine flow and preparation for surgery might benefit from urinary catheters. For instance, when patients need to be strictly immobilized for an extended period of time, indwelling urinary catheters may be employed. Also, since being under anesthesia makes it difficult to control one's bladder, urine catheters are frequently used during surgery.

North American Market Forecast
North America industry is set to account for largest revenue share by 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the growing prevalence of traumatic brain injuries. Growing motor vehicle accidents in the region are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries. Intracranial hemorrhage might happen after severe brain injury. In such conditions, a device called an external ventricular drain (EVD) is used to temporarily drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain's ventricles, which are tiny compartments. In addition, the increasing rate of neurovascular disorders in the region is also anticipated to boost market growth during the forecast period. As per estimates, every year, more than 1 million Americans survive severe brain injuries (TBI).
Europe Market Forecast
The European drainage catheter market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing demand for drainage catheters in the region. The rising incidence of urinary incontinence in various European nations is anticipated to contribute to market growth. Pregnant women are more likely to experience urinary incontinence, which is the loss of bladder control. Further, for urinary incontinence, a urinary catheter which is a flexible tube for draining urine is utilized to empty the bladder.
APAC Market Statistics
Further, the market in the Asia Pacific, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold a majority of the share by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing geriatric population in the region. East Asia and the Pacific are ageing more quickly, as a result of rapid declines in its fertility and mortality rates. Elderly people are more prone to diseases and infections, immune systems deteriorate with ageing. In older patients with urine retention, incontinence, pressure sores, and malignancy, indwelling catheters are used frequently. Further, in order to assure appropriate treatment, elderly patients undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) typically require prompt and efficient central vein catheterization, which is anticipated to contribute to the market growth in the region. In addition, the region's expanding healthcare industry and rising chronic illnesses are also anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Argon Medical Devices, Inc. introduced the SKATER Mini-Loop Drainage Catheter, a development of Argon's SKATER, which is able to withstand kinking and is compatible with alcohol. Further, this drainage catheter is inserted through the skin under imaging guidance to remove or drain an undesirable fluid buildup.
Teleflex Incorporated launched Arrow Pressure Injectable Midline portfolio, to reduce misunderstanding about line identification, and provide protection by lowering thrombus buildup and the main microorganisms that cause the majority of illnesses connected with healthcare.
