- Suprapubic catheters, used for long-term bladder drainage via a surgically created opening in the abdomen, are increasingly essential in managing chronic urological conditions, especially in patients where urethral catheterization is unsuitable, due to their reduced infection risk, improved comfort, and long-term viability in both hospital and home care settings
- The escalating demand for suprapubic catheters is primarily fueled by the rising prevalence of bladder dysfunctions, spinal cord injuries, prostate enlargement, and the expanding geriatric population requiring long-term urinary management solutions
- North America dominated the suprapubic catheter market with the largest revenue share of 40.5% in 2024, characterized by advanced healthcare infrastructure, high awareness of infection control practices, and favorable reimbursement policies, with the U.S. showing notable growth in adoption across urology departments and home healthcare services
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the suprapubic catheter market during the forecast period due to increasing healthcare access, growing elderly population, and rising investments in urological care
- Free drainage catheters segment dominated the suprapubic catheter market with a market share of 70.5% in 2024, driven by its widespread clinical adoption, ease of use, and suitability for continuous bladder drainage in long-term care settings
