Continence Care Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Urinary Catheters, Urinary Bags), By Bag Usage (Sterile Bags, Non-sterile Bags), By Application (Diabetes, BPH), By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

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.

For instance, the government of Australia has introduced the Incontinence AIDS Payment Scheme. This program supports the incontinence needs of patients experiencing persistent or serious incontinence problems. The Australian Government has also established a National Incontinence Control Program to increase bladder and bowel health awareness.

In March 2023, Convatec Group Plc announced that they have started a new three-year collaboration with Partners in Health (PIH), an organization that helps to create equitable healthcare systems in communities, where they are needed the most. This partnership will start by making healthcare better for people in underserved areas of Mexico, Peru, and the U.S. They aim to impact 250,000 lives positively. Thus, due to such initiatives market is anticipated to boost in the near future.

Increasing adoption of minimally invasive procedures is expected to positively impact market growth over the forecast period. There has been a rise in minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating UI, such as the use of slings or mesh implants to support the urethra & bladder neck. These procedures have shorter recovery times and lower complication rates compared to traditional open surgeries. Furthermore, advancements in medical technology have contributed to the development and refinement of minimally invasive techniques. This includes the use of laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, which provides surgeons with enhanced visualization and precision during the procedure.

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.

Application Insights

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.

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.
