The foley catheters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.59 billion in 2024 to $1.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing prevalence of kidney stone disease, a rise in surgical procedures, higher spending on medical hygiene, growing demand for Foley catheters, and an increase in urinary incontinence cases.

The foley catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.24 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by factors including the rising prevalence of urological disorders, greater adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, an expanding geriatric population, increasing demand for antimicrobial catheters, and heightened awareness about incontinence. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in technology, the growth of digital health technologies, innovations in healthcare, the integration of telemedicine, and the incorporation of antimicrobial properties in medical devices.

The increasing prevalence of urological disorders is expected to drive the growth of the foley catheters market. Urological disorders include conditions affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs, such as kidney stones, bladder infections, prostate issues, and urinary incontinence. This rise in prevalence can be attributed to factors such as an aging population, chronic health conditions, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences. Foley catheters are crucial in managing urological disorders by ensuring effective urine drainage, addressing urinary retention, and supporting post-surgery recovery, thus preventing complications and improving patient care. For example, according to the National Health Service (NHS) England, in the 2022/23 period, there were 147,285 hospital admissions with a primary diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTIs), with 56% (82,392 cases) involving individuals aged 65 and older. Additionally, UTIs have led to over 800,000 hospital admissions in the past five years. As such, the rising prevalence of urological disorders is driving growth in the foley catheters market.

Leading companies in the foley catheters market are focusing on innovations such as catheter stabilizers to improve patient comfort and reduce complications related to catheters. A catheter stabilizer is designed to securely anchor a catheter to the patient's skin, preventing dislodgement during prolonged procedures such as urinary catheterizations, intravenous infusions, or dialysis. For instance, in January 2023, Cathetrix Inc., an Israel-based medical device company, launched the Foley/Safe 2.0, an advanced stabilizer that helps prevent accidental Foley catheter extractions and urinary tract infections (UTIs). The device features three layers of protection, a fixation adhesive patch, an anti-slide mechanism, and a disconnection mechanism that safely severs the catheter when needed. This innovation aims to improve patient safety and reduce the need for surgery or prolonged hospitalization.

In January 2022, ICU Medical Inc., a US-based medical technology company, acquired Smiths Medical from Smiths Group plc for $2.5 billion. This acquisition supports ICU Medical's strategy to expand its portfolio in infusion therapy, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen its position in the medical supply chain. Smiths Medical, a US-based company, offers foley catheters as part of its urological product range for urinary drainage.

Foley catheters are flexible, slender tubes inserted into the bladder to facilitate urine drainage. Typically made from latex or silicone, these catheters feature an inflatable balloon at the tip to keep the catheter in place within the bladder. They are commonly used to manage various medical conditions, including urinary retention, post-surgical care, and long-term incontinence.

The primary types of Foley catheters are 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way Foley catheters. A 2-way Foley catheter is designed with two channels - one for draining urine and another for inflating the balloon that keeps the catheter in position. These catheters are made from materials such as silicone, latex, and others, and are used for conditions such as surgery, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and urinary incontinence. They are primarily used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare settings.
