Sensor-based smart catheters are advanced medical catheters equipped with built-in sensors that collect and transmit real-time measurements such as pressure, temperature, pH, or flow during procedures. They are used in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications, supplying critical data to clinicians, improving precision, supporting better decision-making, and enhancing treatment outcomes.
The primary product types of sensor-based smart catheters include temperature-sensing Foley catheters, pressure-sensing catheters, mapping catheters, and others. Temperature-sensing Foley catheters are specialized urinary catheters that allow urine drainage while simultaneously measuring core body temperature. The catheter configurations include single-lumen and multi-lumen designs manufactured from materials such as silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyetheretherketone, and others. These catheters are used in cardiovascular, urology, gynecology, neurovascular, and other clinical applications.
Tariffs have increased procurement costs for sensor components, microelectronics, and specialized polymers used in smart catheters, affecting cardiovascular and neurovascular segments. North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported electronic components. On the positive side, tariffs are accelerating domestic manufacturing and fostering innovation in locally produced sensor-integrated medical devices.
The sensor-based smart catheters market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides sensor-based smart catheters market statistics, including sensor-based smart catheters industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a sensor-based smart catheters market share, detailed sensor-based smart catheters market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the sensor-based smart catheters industry. This sensor-based smart catheters market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The sensor-based smart catheters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.08 billion in 2025 to $4.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in catheter materials, increase in cardiovascular diseases, growth in interventional procedures, hospital infrastructure development, demand for patient safety.
The sensor-based smart catheters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in chronic diseases, expansion of digital health, demand for precision medicine, growth of smart medical devices, technological integration in healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of real-time monitoring devices, growth in minimally invasive procedures, increasing demand for multi-sensor catheters, expansion of remote patient monitoring, higher focus on procedural accuracy.
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is increasingly supporting the expansion of the sensor-based smart catheter market moving forward. Cardiovascular diseases comprise a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. The growing burden of cardiovascular diseases is largely associated with sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Sensor-enabled smart catheters support cardiovascular disease management by delivering real-time data on physiological parameters such as blood pressure, blood flow, and tissue temperature from within the cardiovascular system. For example, in April 2023, according to the World Heart Federation, a Switzerland-based nonprofit organization, cardiovascular disease-related deaths are projected to rise to 22.2 million by 2030 and 32.3 million by 2050. As a result, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is strengthening demand for sensor-based smart catheters.
Leading companies operating in the sensor-based smart catheter market are advancing electrophysiology technologies to improve the accuracy of cardiac mapping, enhance ablation precision, and enable real-time monitoring of electrical signals within the heart. Improved electrophysiology capabilities support better diagnosis of arrhythmias, reduce procedural complications, and improve patient outcomes. For example, in February 2023, Abbott, a US-based healthcare company, launched the TactiFlex sensor-enabled ablation catheter for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. This catheter features a flexible tip with a laser-cut pattern that adapts to the heart wall, enabling more accurate positioning and improved stability during procedures. Its contact force sensing technology supports consistent therapy delivery, shorter procedure times, and enhanced safety compared with earlier catheter generations.
In August 2024, Stereotaxis Inc., a US-based clinical robotic products company, acquired Access Point Technologies (APT) Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Stereotaxis aims to strengthen its product portfolio by integrating APT's advanced diagnostic catheter technologies and expanding its presence in the cardiac ablation and electromedical markets. Access Point Technologies Inc. is a US-based medical equipment manufacturer offering advanced electrophysiology diagnostic and ablation catheters, including sensor-enabled smart mapping catheters.
