Urinary Incontinence Device Market

The global urinary incontinence device market was valued at $2,098.65 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $6,179.32 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.8% from 2021 to 2030. Any involuntary urine leakage is referred to as incontinence. A broken sphincter or a malfunctioning bladder are the most common causes of male urinary incontinence. The sphincter is a circular muscle in the bladder that regulates urine flow. When this muscle is injured, it loses its ability to squeeze and seal the urethra, the tube that transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Urinary incontinence devices assist in the collection and retention of urine and aid in the effective management of urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence causes uncontrollable urine leakage.  

The overall impact of COVID-19 pandemic remained negative for key players in the urinary incontinence industry. The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector across the world. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their offices temporarily, including several sub-domains of healthcare. In 2020, there was a significant reduction in several types of outpatient tests and treatments, with surgical treatments for female urinary incontinence, infertility, kidney stones, and bladder stones having the greatest rates of cut-down services.

Increase in prevalence of urological disorders and development of advanced urinary incontinence device boost the growth of urinary incontinence device market. In addition, the rise in demand for minimally invasive operations, as well as an aging population that is more prone to urological problems drive the growth of the urinary incontinence device market. Furthermore, the number of urinary incontinent patients switching from traditional methods is expected to rise in the near future. The expansion of the market is aided by the increase in risk of associative urological disorders among people. However, the growth of the urinary incontinence device market is hampered by a lack of awareness about new improvements in urinary incontinence devices and post-operative difficulties linked with the devices. Furthermore, rise in healthcare spending in developing nations is expected to open up new growth opportunities.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the health care sector across the world. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of health care The overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remained negative for key players in the urinary incontinence industry. Outpatient clinics for female urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, infertility, and sexual medicine, benign scrotal conditions, renal stone, and bladder stone were most affected, according to a 2020 research study by Jeremy Yuen-Chun Teoh et al. titled 'A Global Survey on the Impact of COVID-19 on Urological Services. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020, there was a significant reduction in many types of outpatient tests and treatments, with surgical treatments for female urinary incontinence, infertility, kidney stones, and bladder stones having the greatest rates of cut-down services. Furthermore, due to COVID, several market players experienced a revenue drop in the urology platform. For instance, In the fiscal year 2019-20, Coloplast Corp.'s interventional urology segment experienced negative organic growth of -7 percent. The drop in sales of Altis single-incision slings and other goods was mostly due to the cancellation of elective operations and treatments in the United States as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, the elective procedures outside the U.S. were also postponed in several countries, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Urinary Incontinence Devices Market Segmentation  

The urinary incontinence devices market is segmented into product, category, incontinence type, end user, and region. By product, the market is divided into urinary catheters, vaginal slings, electrical stimulation devices, artificial urinary sphincters, and other devices. The urinary catheters further bifurcated into Foley catheters and other urinary catheters. Whereas, vaginal slings sub segmented into conventional vaginal slings and advanced vaginal slings. By category, it is classified into external urinary incontinence devices and internal urinary incontinence devices. By incontinence type, it is classified into stress incontinence, urge incontinence, overflow incontinence, and functional incontinence. By end user, it is divided into hospitals, clinics, and other. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Segment Review

By product, the vaginal slings segment currently dominates the global urinary incontinence device market and is expected to continue during the forecast period. High contribution of the conventional vaginal slings in the vaginal slings market owing to high preference for the use of biomaterials in surgical treatment of incontinence drive growth of the market. Advancements in the conventional vaginal slings assist in eliminating the post-operative complications associated with the vaginal sling surgeries and several key players are developing conventional vaginal slings using advanced synthetic materials to meet the requirements of the patient. These factors boost the urinary incontinence device market growth.

By category, the internal urinary incontinence device segment generated the highest revenue in 2020 and is anticipated to continue this trend throughout the forecast period. This is attributed to the increase in focus on the development of vaginal slings along with rise in demand for internal urethral devices.

By incontinence type, the stress urinary incontinence (SUI) segment dominates the global urinary incontinence devices market. This is attributed to high incidence of stress urinary incontinence witnessed among women globally. The epidemiological studies on the stress urinary incontinence in women have concluded that approximately 50% of women with urinary incontinence report symptoms of stress incontinence.

By end user, the hospital segment dominated the global market in 2020 and is anticipated to continue this trend during the forecast period owing to urinary incontinence most commonly affects women and the prevalence is high among hospitalized older adults. Thus, the hospital segment has displayed maximum adoption of the urinary incontinence devices as large patient pool suffering from chronic conditions or pregnancy are associated with urinary incontinence.

Snapshot of the Asia-Pacific Urinary Incontinence Device Market  

Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The region offers lucrative opportunities for players that operate in the urinary incontinence devices market due to its high population base, growth in disposable incomes, and improvement in patient awareness about advanced urinary incontinence management. Japan, India, and China are among the leading countries for prevalence of urinary incontinence in Asia-Pacific, which further contributes toward the robust growth displayed by this region in the global urinary incontinence device market. In addition, changes in lifestyle and demographic changes have led to increase in the cases of gynecological problems in females at a younger age. Moreover, increase in the number of hysterectomy cases, rise in number of women with early onset of menopause, and increase in obese population propel the market growth in this region as women suffering from aforementioned health conditions are more susceptible to urinary incontinence.

The key players in this market have adopted product launch as one of their key developmental strategies such as acquisitions and product launches. The major companies profiled in this report include Becton, Dickinson and Company (C.R. Bard Inc.), Boston Scientific Corporation, Caldera Medical, Coloplast A/S, ConvaTec Group plc, Cook Group Inc.
