Description

List of Tables

The external catheter market size is expected to reach USD 4.77 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "External Catheter Market Size, Share, Trend, Industry Analysis Report By Product (Self-Adhesive, Non-Adhesive), By Material, By Gender, By End Use, By Region - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The external catheter market comprises noninvasive urinary management devices primarily used for patients experiencing incontinence or those requiring assistance due to limited mobility. These catheters, also known as condom catheters, are placed externally over the male genitalia and connected to a drainage bag, offering an alternative to internal catheterization that helps reduce infection risks and discomfort. Growth in this market is largely influenced by a rising geriatric population and the increasing incidence of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, spinal cord injuries, and neurological disorders, which often lead to bladder dysfunction. Growing demand for home-based care solutions is also encouraging broader adoption of external catheters, particularly in long-term care and post-operative recovery settings.

Healthcare providers are focusing on improving patient comfort and minimizing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), supporting a shift toward noninvasive solutions. Advancements in medical-grade materials and adhesive technologies are improving product reliability and user comfort, which, in turn, is expanding the patient base. The market is also seeing rising interest in gender-specific and skin-friendly product variants. Emerging trends include direct-to-consumer sales, digital monitoring integration, and user education platforms that support better compliance and outcomes. Reimbursement frameworks are being updated in many regions to accommodate these devices, which is further encouraging market participation. Increasing awareness of noninvasive alternatives and the preference for discreet, wearable medical devices represent significant growth opportunities. The external catheter market continues to evolve in response to clinical demand and patient-centric care models, offering ample room for innovation across product design, delivery channels, and support services.

External Catheter Market Report Highlights

By product, the self-adhesive segment dominated the market in 2024, due to their ease of application and reduced need for external securing devices.

Based on end use, the home care segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024 due to the growing aging population and the shift toward decentralized healthcare.

The North America external catheter market held the largest revenue share in 2024 due to the strong presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure and high awareness of noninvasive urinary care solutions.

The market in Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2025 to 2034 due to rising healthcare spending and expanding geriatric population across several countries.
