The rising prevalence of urinary retention is anticipated to drive the silicone foley catheter market. Urinary retention affects both men and women, but it affects males more frequently, especially as they get older. Men who have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a disorder in which the prostate gland enlarges, are more likely to have urine retention. Acute urinary retention affects about one out of every ten men over the age of 70 and about one out of every three men in their 80s over the course of five years. In women, acute urine retention is far less common. Acute urinary retention affects roughly 3 out of 100,000 women each year.

In the Asia Pacific, China, Japan, and South Korea are the leading importers and exporters of silicone foley catheters. China accounted for nearly 6% of the imports and exports of silicone foley catheters for the period 2019-2021, followed by Japan, South Korea, and India. However, Countries other than China and Japan are projected to witness slower imports and export over the forecast period.

North America accounted for the highest share in the silicone foley catheter market and is projected to maintain a similar trend over the forecast period. The North Americas silicone foley catheter market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.27% over the forecast period. The US is also the fastest growing country in the region followed by Canada. The US spends considerably more than the world’s average on healthcare hence the country is projected to maintain its dominance in this region. Europe stood as the second-largest market for silicone foley catheters. The Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest region owing to the presence of populous developing countries such as India and China. Silicone foley catheters remain highly consolidated in Asia, mainly dominated by a few international hygiene companies. However, this dominance is set to change with the evolution of incontinence into the mainstream market. This change, coupled with favorable demographics and greater consumer awareness, is expected to encourage more competition from new entrants and private labels.
