The Africa urinary catheters market was valued at $49.8 million in 2023 and is anticipated to generate $130.6 million by 2035, witnessing a CAGR of 8.3% from 2024 to 2035. A urinary catheter is a flexible tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. It is commonly used when someone cannot urinate on their own due to various medical conditions, such as after surgery, during childbirth, or if there is urinary retention. Catheters come in different sizes and types, including indwelling (Foley) catheters, which remain in the bladder for an extended period, and intermittent catheters, which are inserted and removed several times a day.
The major factors that drive the growth of the Africa urinary catheters market include rise in prevalence of urinary disorders such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and urinary tract infections (UTIs), which require medical intervention including urinary catheters. In addition, the growing emphasis on infection prevention and patient safety in healthcare settings further drives the market growth. Urinary catheters are associated with a risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), which can lead to serious complications and increase healthcare costs. Thus, healthcare providers are increasingly prioritizing infection control measures and adopting catheter products with advanced features, such as antimicrobial coatings and closed drainage systems, to minimize the risk of infections. This heightened focus on patient safety not only drives demand for innovative catheter products but also encourages adherence to best practices in catheterization, thereby supporting the market growth.
Moreover, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing access to medical devices, and promoting public health awareness play a crucial role in driving the market growth. Governments across Africa are investing in healthcare infrastructure upgrades, including the expansion of hospitals, clinics, and primary care facilities, to meet the growing demand for medical services. In addition, regulatory frameworks and standards governing the production, distribution, and use of medical devices create opportunities for market expansion by fostering consumer confidence and ensuring product quality and safety. However, the risk of complications associated with catheter use and limitations of existing catheter technologies, serve as restraining factors for the market growth. On the other hand, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and promoting public health awareness create opportunities for market expansion.
