5 min readMar 7, 2024

According to the report published by Zion Market Research, the global Catheter Coatings Market size was valued at USD 10.99 Billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 20.03 Billion by the end of 2032. The market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.84% during the forecast period. The report analyzes the global Catheter Coatings Market’s growth drivers, restraints, and impact on demand during the forecast period. It will also help navigate and explore the arising opportunities in the Catheter Coatings Market industry.

Global Catheter Coatings Market: Overview

Catheters are cylindrical-shaped medical devices that are inserted into the body of the patient to deliver fluid or drugs that can eliminate harmful substances from the body. Devices are widely utilized in post-surgery procedures like spinal, urinary tract, bowel, and bladder surgeries. However, these devices are directly inserted into the patient’s body and thus catheters need to be coated with additional materials to prevent the chances of causing infections. Catheter coatings play an important role in catheterization. Catheterization reduces friction among the tissues in the body of the patient and lowers the incidences of encrustation and infections. The caterers are available in different coatings like drug-eluting coatings, hydrophilic coatings, antimicrobial coatings, and others.

Global Catheter Coatings Market: Growth Factors

The growth in the demand for hydrophilic coating is the major factor driving the growth of the global catheter coatings market exponentially. The hydrophilic coatings are engineered to lower the friction while the catheter is being inserted into the body of the patient. It also lowers the risk of ureteral damage. However, manual lubrication is not necessarily needed for these coatings due to the fact that they are more sterile and are not likely to cause infection. There is growth in the adoption of coated medical devices in developed regions like the US and Europe in order to reduce the friction between the blood vessels and medical devices. All these factors will augment the growth of the global catheter coatings market significantly, with a high CAGR during the forecast period.

However, the constantly growing geriatric population all across the globe is posing a huge demand for coated catheters. Also, the growth in demand for enhancing medical facilities along with the growing awareness regarding the novel surgeries among patients is likely to create lucrative growth opportunities in the global catheter coatings market in the forthcoming years.

Global Catheter Coatings Market: Segmentation

The global catheter coatings market is classified on the basis of type, material, and region.

On the basis of type, the market can be segmented into antimicrobial, hydrophilic, drug-eluting, and other coatings. The hydrophilic coating segment dominates the global market due to the fact that it offers stress-free interaction, reduces bacterial infections, and also removes thrombosis effectively. However, the drug-eluting segment holds the second-largest share in the global catheter coatings market due to its capability of delivering anti-restenotic drugs effectively.

On the basis of material, the market can be segmented into polymer and metal. The polymer coating segment holds hegemony over others due to the growing utilization of polymers for surface coating of cardiac and central catheters. The launch of advanced polymer products by prominent market players will fuel the growth of the segment during the forecast period. However, polymer-coated catheters provide intravascular drug delivery and also halt the microorganism growth on the surface of the tissues. The metal-coated material segment is also likely to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the launch of specialized metal coatings, thereby expanding the product line of catheters in forthcoming years.

Global Catheter Coatings Market: Regional analysis

North America accounts for the largest share in the global catheter coatings market due to the growing demand for latex rubber-coated catheters in the region. The continuously increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence in the region will boost the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for intermittent catheters in the region. However, the wide adoption of antimicrobial coating to avoid the spread of infections is also bolstering the growth of the regional market.
