The globalcontinence care market sizewas estimated atUSD 2.29 billion in 2022and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of the market is due to various factors such as technological advancements, the rising geriatric population, and the increasing prevalence of various chronic disorders such as bladder cancer, Spina Bifida, Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, and others. For instance, as per the WHO in September 2022, every year, about 17 million people die from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) before they turn 70 years old. Most of these deaths, about 86%, happen in countries with lower and middle incomes.
UTIs are among the most common healthcare-associated infections. Patients are at a high risk of UTIs from long-term use of urinary bags, which can represent a significant challenge to the market. For instance, UTIs are frequently associated with Purple Urine Bag Syndrome (PUBS), while complications such as erosion, skin inflammation, and ulceration can occur from the use of two-piece systems, primarily due to the risk of leakage and larger sizes. As per the National Library of Medicine (NIH), in 2022, among the UTIs acquired in hospitals, approximately 80% of the cases were related to the use of indwellingurinary cathetersin the U.S.

As healthcare continues to evolve, the urinary catheters market remains a crucial sector, continually innovating to improve patient quality of life and overall urological care. For instance, in April 2023, The Flume Catheter Company Ltd. (TFCC) announced the launch of a study to gather real-world data on patient experiences with the new FLUME catheter. Because of these improvements in urinary catheters, the need for products to help with continence care is expected to grow in the coming years.
The catheter maintenance/care segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2030.Cathetermaintenance is essential to remove small blood clots, tissue, and debris to reduce the frequency of changing catheters. A variety of catheter maintenance solutions, such as saline, citric acid-based products, and products like polyhexanide, which also have an antibacterial effect, are useful in catheter maintenance. Regular catheter care can reduce the chances of bacterial colonization, remove deposits, and stop debris buildup. Thus, the benefits associated with catheter maintenance are expected to boost market growth over the forecast period.
Based on application, the diabetes segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 25.5% in 2022. The increasing prevalence of diabetes around the world will increase the demand for continence care products in the near future. For instance, as per the International Diabetes Federation in 2021, about 537 million adults (between 20 and 79 years old) had diabetes. This means 1 out of every 10 adults has diabetes. As per the same source, by 2030, the number could go up to 643 million, and by 2045, it might reach 783 million. Control of the bladder and bowel is a common issue faced by diabetic patients. This may involve unintentional leaking, partial emptying, frequent passing of urine, or the urge to use the restroom immediately. As a result of these factors, the demand for continence care products for diabetes treatment will increase in the near future.
The spinal cord injury (SCI) segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2030. Urinary tract infections pose a considerable issue for individuals who rely on intermittent catheters to empty their bladder. This predicament applies to those with conditions like multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or spina bifida. Typically, people using intermittent catheters experience 2-3 urinary tract infections annually. These infections can lead to severe health problems, significantly affect their quality of life, and sometimes result in hospitalization, which strains local healthcare systems. Consequently, manufacturers are introducing advanced products as a solution to address these challenges. For instance, in February 2023, Coloplast introduced a new kind of catheter for men that is made to lower the chances of getting urinary tract infections. This new catheter is called Luja. Due to such advancements, the demand for continence care products will increase in the near future.
Based on bag usage, the sterile segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 64.9% in 2022. Sterile bags are essential for avoiding infections and other problems. Utilizing sterile bags lowers the possibility of introducing microorganisms, lowering the risk of infection. Sterile bags are considered temporary or short-term, noninvasive medical devices, which are single-use pouches for collecting urine at a hospital or home. They are immediately attached to a catheter outside the body or to a probe that is put into the urethra. They are always used with an indwelling catheter. Examples of sterile bags are Conveen Basic bedside drainage sterile bag by Coloplast and Urinary Leg Bag–Sterile by Hollister Incorporated.
Moreover, as consumers become more health-conscious and informed, they seek products that prioritize hygiene and minimize health risks. Sterile bags fulfill this demand by offering a reliable solution that promotes cleanliness and minimizes the potential for cross-contamination. This shift in consumer preference creates an avenue for manufacturers to capitalize on the demand for safer and more effective continence care products. Overall, the rising usage of sterile bags in the market represents an opportunity for companies to cater to evolving consumer expectations, comply with healthcare regulations, and ultimately contribute to improved patient well-being through enhanced infection prevention measures.

Home care plays an important role in the management of incontinence and focuses on maintaining hygiene, managing fluids, exercising the pelvic floor muscles, adopting a healthy lifestyle, making environmental modifications, and seeking appropriate medical assistance when needed. It also promotes comfort, confidence, and overall well-being of individuals managing incontinence at home. Technological advancements have led to the development of innovative homecare products and devices for managing incontinence. Comfort, convenience, cost-effectiveness, individualized care, advancements in technology, the rising older population, and patient desire are some of the main factors influencing the demand for home care solutions for successfully treating incontinence at home.
Hospitals held the second-largest share in 2022. Hospital continence care involves controlling bladder and bowel function for patients who have difficulty controlling their urination or stool motions. This care is crucial for people who may be elderly, have particular medical conditions, or have undergone surgery that has affected their gastrointestinal or urinary systems. The increasing geriatric population is helping to propel the growth of the segment. For instance, in September 2022, according to World Population Prospects 2022, the proportion of adults 65 and older in the global population is expected to increase from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050.
Europe dominated the continence care regional market with the largest share of around 48.5% in 2022, by revenue. The technological advancements in countries such as the UK, France, Germany, and Denmark contribute to the regional market growth. For instance, in September 2022, Convatec introduced the GentleCath range of catheters, incorporating FeelClean Technology. These catheters provide a more comfortable and less sticky user experience during intermittent catheterization. The catheters’ next-generation material is intrinsically slippery when wet, effectively reducing the risk of trauma, bleeding, and pain.
Users have reported a significant improvement in comfort, and the catheters leave minimal mess and residue. For instance, in February 2023, with the introduction of Luj, an innovative male intermittent catheter featuring 80+ micro-holes, Coloplast Corp effectively addresses UTI risk factors faced by intermittent catheter users, positively impacting their well-being and healthcare systems. Luja's Micro-hole Zone Technology ensures thorough bladder emptying, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and UTIs.
