The global suprapubic catheters market is primarily driven by the significant prevalence of urological disorders. Urological disorders are diseases associated with the urinary tract and kidneys. This includes the urethra, kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters, and the male reproductive organs, such as the prostate, testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles, and penis. Urinary incontinence and urinary tract infection are some major urological disorders. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), urinary tract infection (UTI) is the leading cause of morbidity and healthcare expenditures among persons of all ages. An estimated 40-50% of women report having had a UTI at some point in their lives. More than 8 million official visits and over 1 million hospitalizations observed due to UTI in the US each year.

Significant rise in the elderly population is one of the causes leading to an increasing prevalence of UTIs. As per the United Nations (UN), by 2050, one in six people globally will be more than the age of 65 (16%), increased from one in 11 in 2019 (9%). UTIs are considered as common concerns in the ageing population. The condition ranges from relatively benign cystitis to potentially severe pyelonephritis. An aged person suffering from mental difficulties are observed for other UTI signs, including bloody urine, pressure in the lower pelvis, and pain or burning with urination. UTIs may occur either due to the pathogenicity of the organism, the susceptibility of the host or a combination of both factors. This, in turn, contributes to the demand for suprapubic catheters as it is more comfortable and there are less possibilities of spreading infection as compared to indwelling ureteral catheters for the treatment of patients with urological disorders.
Standard indwelling catheters are produced from several materials, such as polymer hydromer, polyvinyl chlorine, silicone elastomer, plastic, plain latex, pure silicone hydrogel, and polytetrafluoroethylene. This may increase the risk of infections among patients. Thus, there is an increased development of specialized catheters to minimize the risk of infection. Therefore, researchers have been reported involving the use of antimicrobial materials for coating the inner, outer or both surfaces of the catheter. Such materials can be antiseptic or antibiotic and silver is being the most commonly used antiseptic material. Silver ions are bactericidal and can be utilized safely while employed topically to humans and could play a vital role in controlling infections. Earlier studies that compare the UTI rates in transurethral catheters have witnessed a substantial decrease of UTI rate in silver-alloy catheters with 5-12% than standard catheters with 7-50%. Hence, there is a significant possibility for the introduction of a new suprapubic catheter with antimicrobial materials that can reduce the risk of infection among patients with urological disorders and thereby will drive the market growth.
