The sensor-based smart catheters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.75 billion in 2024 to $4.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the surge in the geriatric population, increase in the number of interventional procedures, increase in the number of form factors, rise in prevalence of urologic diseases, increase in several surgical procedures.

The sensor-based smart catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a rise in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, the surge in the geriatric population, increase in the number of interventional procedures, increase in the number of form factors, rise in the prevalence of urologic diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include the launch of innovative urinary catheters, increasing R and D in high-end automated technology, product innovations, development of biocompatible materials, and technological advancements.

The increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to propel the expansion of the sensor-based smart catheter market in the future. Cardiovascular diseases encompass a range of conditions that impact the heart and blood vessels. This rise in prevalence is largely attributed to more sedentary lifestyles, which lead to issues such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Smart catheters equipped with sensors assist in managing cardiovascular diseases by delivering real-time information on various physiological metrics, including blood pressure, blood flow, and tissue temperature, directly from within the cardiovascular system. For example, a report released by the World Heart Federation, a nonprofit organization based in Switzerland, indicated that cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 20.5 million deaths worldwide in 2021. This figure is expected to increase to 22.2 million by 2030 and reach 32.3 million by 2050. Consequently, the rise in cardiovascular disease prevalence is fueling growth in the sensor-based smart catheter market.

Major companies in the sensor-based smart catheter market are advancing their electrophysiology technologies to enhance the accuracy of cardiac mapping, improve the precision of ablation procedures, and enable real-time monitoring of electrical signals within the heart. Electrophysiology aims to improve diagnostic capabilities for arrhythmias and other heart conditions, reduce procedural complications, and enhance patient outcomes. For example, in February 2023, Abbott, a US-based healthcare company, introduced the TactiFlex ablation catheter-sensor enabled. This is the world's first ablation catheter designed with a flexible tip and contact force sensing technology for treating atrial fibrillation (AFib). The TactiFlex catheter features a flexible tip with a laser-cut pattern that adapts to the heart wall, providing more accurate positioning and up to twice the stability of a beating heart. The catheter's contact force sensor ensures consistent therapy, shorter operation times, and improved safety compared to previous models.

In August 2024, Stereotaxis Inc., a US-based company specializing in clinical robotic products, acquired Access Point Technologies (APT) Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at enhancing Stereotaxis's product lineup by incorporating Access Point Technologies' advanced diagnostic catheters, thereby bolstering its presence in the cardiac ablation and electromedical markets. Access Point Technologies (APT) Inc., a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, provides a range of advanced electrophysiology (EP) diagnostic and ablation catheters, including sensor-enabled smart catheters and diagnostic mapping catheters.

Sensor-based smart catheters are advanced medical devices that feature embedded sensors to monitor and transmit real-time data, such as pressure, temperature, pH levels, or flow rates, during catheterization procedures. These devices are used in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications, providing critical information to healthcare professionals to enhance patient outcomes, enable precise interventions, and improve the overall effectiveness of medical treatments.

The primary types of sensor-based smart catheters include temperature-sensing Foley catheters, pressure catheters, mapping catheters, and others. A temperature-sensing Foley catheter is a specialized urinary catheter that not only drains urine but also measures the body’s core temperature. These catheters can be single-lumen or multi-lumen and are made from materials such as silicon, polytetrafluoroethylene, and polyetheretherketone, among others. They are used in various fields, including cardiovascular, urology, gynecology, neurovascular, and more.
