Urinary Drainage Bags Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The urinary drainage bags market was valued at US$19.757 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.51% during the forecast period.

Systems or containers known as urinary drainage bags are used to collect and hold urine from a catheter (tube) that has been put into the bladder or fastened to the external male genitalia. The growing prevalence of urological disorders and orthopedic conditions restricting mobility are major growth drivers in the urinary drainage bags market. Moreover, the aging population and their higher chance of developing illnesses requiring the need for urinary bags are also expected to propel the urinary drainage bags market. The technological innovations and product launches by the market players are further contemplated to augment the urinary drainage bags market.

Increasing cases of Urological Disorders

Urinary tract infections, kidney stones, issues with bladder control, and prostate issues are just a few examples of urologic disorders or conditions, and increasing cases of these conditions are expected to propel the urinary drainage bags market. 13% of women and 5% of men experience urinary incontinence at some point in their lives. According to NHS data from 2021, 3 to 6 million persons in the UK are thought to suffer urine incontinence. According to the NIDDK, 3.3 million women are estimated to have interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), and 1.6 million men are estimated to have chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), which includes urologic symptoms including pain when the bladder fills in the past 12 months. According to several years' worth of national public health surveys, about 54% of women (20 years and older) reported having urine incontinence.

Growing Prevalence of Orthopedic Procedures

The use of a urinary catheter is necessary in cases when it would be painful to use a bedpan, such as a fractured hip. One of the more frequent problems following orthopedic surgery is postoperative urine retention (POUR), or the inability to void after surgery. Musculoskeletal disorders severely restrict movement and dexterity, which results in early retirement from the workforce, decreased levels of well-being, and a decreased capacity to engage in society. The rise in cases of musculoskeletal conditions restricting mobility and followed by surgery is expected to boost the urinary drainage bags market. For instance, musculoskeletal problems affect approximately 1.71 billion individuals globally, and it constitutes the main cause of disability as per the WHO.

Growing Geriatric Population

The majority of people with urinary incontinence are over 60, and older women are twice are likely to experience it than younger women. The elderly population is increasing quickly. For instance, according to the WHO, by 2030, one in six individuals on the earth will be 60 or older, up from one billion in 2020. At that time, there will be 1.4 billion people who are 60 or older worldwide. Furthermore, the WHO predicts that between 2020 and 2050, the number of adults 80 or older will treble, reaching 426 million. According to estimates from the NHS, the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia rises from 50% of men between the ages of 50 and 60 to 90% of men over the age of 80 necessitating the use of urinary drainage bags. This growing older population is expected to aid the urinary drainage bags market.

Opportunities in the Market

All the growth factors mentioned along with the rising preference for urinary drainage bags owing to convenience provide an immense opportunity for urinary drainage bags market expansion. Increasing healthcare expenditure worldwide further provides an opportunity to enter the urinary drainage bags market. For instance, in 2021, the US healthcare sector contributed 17.8% to the GDP of the country, according to the Commonwealth Fund Organisation. Scientific research and campaigns are also expanding the opportunity. The Bladder Matters Campaign was launched by London Health Science Centre in 2023 to review current catheterization practices and improve current catheterization insertion techniques.

North America is Expected to Grow Significantly

The North American region is expected to hold a significant share of the urinary drainage bags market during the forecast period. Several factors attributed to such a share are escalating rates of certain disorders such as bladder blockage, UI, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), urine retention, and bladder cancer. For instance, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) reports that each year, more than 250,000 people with BPH have surgery. Moreover, nearly 75% - 80% of American women suffer from urinary incontinence every year as per the NAC. Further, the presence of major market players such as Cardinal Health, Coloplast, and Teleflex Inc. is expected to bolster the urinary drainage bags market in the region through enhanced product launches.
