Smart Foley catheters are advanced urinary catheters that incorporate sensors or digital components to track key parameters such as urine output, temperature, and blockage status in real time. They are designed to improve patient safety and support clinical decision-making by providing continuous, accurate monitoring and enabling early detection of issues such as infections or obstructions.
The main product types of smart Foley catheters include indwelling smart Foley catheters and intermittent smart Foley catheters. Indwelling smart Foley catheters are urinary catheters equipped with sensors that monitor urine flow and identify complications to support safer long-term use. They are fabricated from materials such as silicone, latex, and others and utilize technologies such as sensor-based systems, wireless systems, and more. These catheters are used in applications such as urinary incontinence, surgery, prostate gland surgery, spinal cord injury, and other conditions, serving end-users including hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, home care settings, and others.
Tariffs are impacting the smart foley catheters market by increasing costs of imported medical-grade sensors, antimicrobial coatings, and wireless modules. Hospitals in North America and Europe face higher procurement costs, while Asia-Pacific manufacturers experience supply chain pressure. On the positive side, tariffs are accelerating domestic manufacturing and encouraging innovation in cost-efficient catheter designs.
The smart foley catheters market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides smart foley catheters market statistics, including smart foley catheters industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a smart foley catheters market share, detailed smart foley catheters market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the smart foley catheters industry. This smart foley 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 smart foley catheters market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2025 to $1.93 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to high catheter-associated infection rates, growth in surgical procedures, demand for continuous patient monitoring, aging population, hospital safety initiatives.
The smart foley catheters market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.99 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to remote patient monitoring adoption, AI-based alert systems, expansion in home care settings, smart hospital infrastructure growth, regulatory support for patient safety. Major trends in the forecast period include real-time urine monitoring, infection prevention catheter design, wireless patient data transmission, sensor-integrated catheter systems, early complication detection.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the smart foley catheters market in the future. Chronic diseases are long-term health conditions that develop gradually and often require continuous medical management. The increasing prevalence of these diseases is partly due to sedentary lifestyles, where prolonged sitting and lack of physical activity contribute to the risk of conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Smart foley catheters play a critical role in the treatment of chronic diseases by providing continuous monitoring of urine output, pressure, and temperature, making them ideal for patients who need long-term catheterization. These devices reduce the need for manual monitoring by offering real-time data and automated alerts, enhancing patient safety and improving clinical efficiency. For example, in June 2024, the National Health Service in the UK reported that 3,615,330 individuals were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia or pre-diabetes in 2023, marking an 18% increase from 2022. Thus, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the growth of the smart foley catheters market.
Rising healthcare expenditure is also expected to contribute to the growth of the smart foley catheters market. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total amount spent on medical services, treatments, facilities, research, and public health initiatives aimed at improving health outcomes. The increase in healthcare spending is driven by the growing demand for long-term treatments due to the rising prevalence of chronic conditions. This rise in expenditure facilitates investments in advanced patient monitoring technologies, such as smart foley catheters, which are designed to improve patient care and clinical efficiency. By providing real-time data and automated alerts, these catheters reduce the need for manual monitoring and help streamline clinical workflows. For instance, in May 2024, the Office for National Statistics in the UK reported a 5.6% increase in total healthcare expenditure in 2023, reflecting a growth of 0.9% compared to 2022. Therefore, the increase in healthcare expenditure is driving the growth of the smart foley catheters market.
The growing geriatric population is also expected to drive the growth of the market. The geriatric population, typically defined as individuals aged 65 and above, often requires specialized healthcare due to age-related changes. As life expectancy increases due to advances in healthcare, nutrition, and disease management, the number of older adults is rising. Smart foley catheters provide continuous monitoring of urine output, pressure, and temperature, making them particularly beneficial for older adults who require long-term catheterization. These catheters help reduce manual observation by offering real-time data and automated alerts, improving patient safety and easing the caregiving process. For example, in January 2024, the Population Reference Bureau, a U.S.-based nonprofit, projected that the U.S. population aged 65 and older will grow from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, an increase of 47%. Therefore, the growing geriatric population is fueling the growth of the smart foley catheters market.
