The biliary catheters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.75 billion in 2025 to $4.12 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced biliary catheters, reliance on conventional plastic catheters, growing incidence of bile duct disorders, increasing hospital and clinic procedures, adoption of standard drainage techniques.
The biliary catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.88 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of expandable and metal biliary drainage catheters, expansion of interventional radiology procedures, rising minimally invasive surgeries, increasing regulatory compliance and quality certifications, integration with imaging-guided catheter placement technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of minimally invasive procedures, increasing use of plastic and metal biliary drainage catheters, expansion of catheter-based drainage and stent applications, growing demand for single-channel and double-channel sump catheters, enhanced focus on patient safety and sterilization standards.
The rising number of liver disease cases is expected to propel the growth of the biliary catheters market going forward. The prevalence of liver diseases is driven by factors such as increasing rates of chronic hepatitis infections, alcohol misuse, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Biliary catheters play a critical role in managing liver disease complications by ensuring effective bile drainage, which helps alleviate symptoms, prevent infections, and preserve liver function. For instance, in April 2024, according to the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK-based government organization, there were 85,665 hospital admissions related to liver disease in England in 2023, corresponding to a rate of 155.2 per 100,000 population. Therefore, the rising prevalence of liver diseases is driving the growth of the biliary catheters market.
Leading companies operating in the biliary catheter market are developing innovative products featuring advanced coating technologies, such as TrueGlide hydrophilic coating, to enhance catheter performance and usability. TrueGlide hydrophilic coating reduces friction and facilitates smooth catheter insertion during medical procedures. For example, in June 2024, B. Braun Interventional Systems Inc., a US-based medical device company, launched its ACCEL all-purpose and biliary drainage catheters featuring TrueGlide hydrophilic coating. These catheters are designed to improve patient comfort and clinical outcomes, incorporating large oval holes to maximize fluid drainage and a hydrophilic coating to ensure smooth placement. This product expansion strengthens B. Braun’s percutaneous drainage portfolio and supports a wide range of clinical applications.
In January 2024, Olympus Corporation, a Japan-based medical technology company, acquired Taewoong Medical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is designed to reinforce Olympus’s portfolio within the gastrointestinal segment by expanding its range of endoscopic and interventional products. The transaction may influence the market by strengthening Olympus’s product offerings and potentially driving innovation in biliary catheter technologies. Taewoong Medical is a South Korea-based medical device manufacturer producing equipment such as biliary stents, urology stents, RFA treatment devices, and related accessories.

Biliary catheters are small, flexible tubes placed in the common bile duct to drain bile from the liver and gallbladder. They can drain bile internally into the intestines or externally into a collection bag and are inserted percutaneously into the bile ducts, sometimes connecting to an external drainage system.
The primary types of biliary catheters include multi-purpose drainage catheters, multi-purpose drainage sump catheters, biliary drainage catheters, nephrostomy catheters, ureteral stents, and others. Multi-purpose drainage catheters are adaptable medical tubes designed for fluid drainage across various anatomical sites. Their applications include thrombectomy, drainage, occlusion, infusion, aspiration, dialysis, diagnostics, monitoring, stent delivery, and dilation procedures. The end users include clinics, hospitals, and other healthcare institutions.
The biliary catheters market consists of sales of foley catheter, Hickman catheter, peritoneal dialysis catheter and suprapubic catheter. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
