The U.S. external catheter market size was valued at USD 1.13 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.02 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.65% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is driven by the rising prevalence of urinary incontinence, increasing adoption of non-invasive urological solutions, and advancements in catheter design to improve patient comfort and reduce infection risks.
In addition, the aging population and growing awareness of home-based care are contributing to increased demand for external catheters across the country. According to the data published by the Population Reference Bureau in January 2024, the number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050 (a 47% increase), and the 65-and-older age group’s share of the total population is projected to rise from 17% to 23%.
Growing awareness and prevention efforts for catheter-related infections drive the U.S. external catheter market. Healthcare-associated infections, particularly catheter-associated urinary tract infections, have been a long-standing concern in hospital and home care settings. In response, healthcare providers, public health agencies like the CDC, and catheter manufacturers focus on infection prevention through education, training, and safer, more hygienic products. External catheters, being non-invasive and less likely to introduce pathogens into the urinary tract than indwelling catheters, are gaining preference among clinicians and patients alike. This shift is further supported by updated clinical guidelines and infection control protocols that promote the use of external devices when appropriate.
