The primary growth driver for the global catheters market, as stated in the report, is the increasing number of patients being diagnosed with urinary and cardiovascular diseases. Most of these diseases require procedures that include incision and the use of catheters. The global catheters market is also driven by the growing obesity epidemic, which is cited as the leading cause of coronary diseases.A report by the World Health Organization in 2010 showed that there were almost 43 mn children below the age of five around the world that were classified as overweight. The report went on to state that the weight gain and obesity trend is likely to keep increasing as an increasing number of consumers commit to unhealthy lifestyles and are subjected to constantly stressful lives. This will eventually create a greater scope for the global catheters market in terms of demand.

One of the major factors hampering the global catheters market is the risk of infection caused due to improper surgical procedure or the use of contaminated catheters. Another restraining factor is thrombosis caused by design flaws that are not suited for some patients. The healthcare industry needs to address these restraining factors with proper sterilization techniques and increased investments in research and development for advanced designs as well as customizations for patients.The global catheters market was dominated by the cardiovascular catheters segment, in terms of type, in 2011. The segment held nearly 40.0% of the global catheters market in 2011. The segment is boosted by technological advancements that improve the ease of use and insertion of catheters, enabling a faster, safer, and simpler procedure. Improvements in catheter designs are primarily aimed at reducing errors during insertion, further motivating healthcare professionals to increase the adoption rates of catheters.
