The global catheter market size is expected to reach USD 109.03 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Catheter Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product Type (Cardiovascular Catheters, Urology Catheters, Intravenous Catheters, Specialty Catheters, and Neurovascular Catheters), Lumen, Material, End Use, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
A catheter is a flexible, hollow tube designed for insertion into the body to drain fluids, administer medications, or provide access for surgical instruments. These medical devices are commonly used in various procedures, including urinary catheterization, intravenous therapy, cardiovascular interventions, and dialysis treatments. Catheters are made from biocompatible materials such as silicone, polyurethane, and latex to ensure patient safety and comfort. They are available in different types, including cardiovascular catheters, urology catheters, neurovascular catheters, and specialty catheters, each serving a specific medical purpose.
The catheter market growth is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, advancements in minimally invasive procedures, and a rising aging population that requires long-term medical care. Hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and homecare settings are among the key end users of catheter-based treatments. Technological advancements, such as antimicrobial coatings and infection-resistant designs, have improved the safety and efficiency of catheter usage. Additionally, growing healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies and increasing investments in research and development contribute to the catheter market expansion. Therefore, as healthcare providers continue to adopt innovative catheter technologies, the market is expected to witness steady growth across various regions.
By product type, the cardiovascular catheters segment held the largest share of the catheter market revenue in 2024 due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the rising number of minimally invasive cardiac procedures. The demand for these catheters is further supported by advancements in catheter-based treatments, including electrophysiology and angioplasty.
By lumen, in 2024, the double-lumen catheters segment dominated the catheter market share. This growth reflects the rising demand for advanced biomaterial-based devices that minimize complications such as thrombosis and infections, enhancing both patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.
By material, the polyurethane catheters segment is witnessing fastest growth due to their superior flexibility and biocompatibility. These properties make them ideal for medical applications such as central venous access and hemodialysis.
By region, North America held the largest share of the market in 2024 attributed to the region's advanced healthcare infrastructure; a high prevalence of chronic illnesses; and the presence of major manufacturers such as Teleflex Incorporated, Medtronic, and Boston Scientific Corporation.
The catheter market features several prominent companies actively providing a range of catheter products. A few notable players include B. Braun Melsungen AG; Boston Scientific Corporation; Hollister Incorporated; Medtronic PLC; Teleflex Incorporated; Abbott Laboratories; ConvaTec Group PLC; Coloplast A/S; Cook Medical; Cure Medical LLC; and Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD). These companies operate independently, without being subsidiaries of parent organizations, and offer a diverse array of catheter-related products across various medical applications.
