Nephrostomy Catheters Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Tube Type (Malecot, Pigtail, Balloon Retention, Others), By Application (Urinary Tract Obstruction, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Antegrade pyelography, Others), By Material (Silicone, Polyethylene, Polyurethane, Others), By End-User(Hospitals & Ambulatory Surgery Centres, Specialty Clinics, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Nephrostomy is a procedure wherein an artificial opening is created between the kidney and the skin allowing for urine diversion. A nephrostomy catheter is inserted that drains the urine out of the kidney. It is done when the ureter is blocked making it difficult for the urine to pass into the bladder due to clinical conditions such as renal calculi, congenital condition, and others. According to the American Urology Association, kidney stones affect nearly 1 in 11 people in the U.S., which is expected to positively impact the market. Percutaneous nephrostomy offers various advantages such as reduced hospital stay, smaller incision, shorter recovery time, and others owing to which the preference for nephrostomy catheters are increasing.

Significant increase in the number of kidney stone surgeries and rising prevalence of urinary tract obstruction and renal calculi are the primary factors driving the growth of the market. According to an article published in NCBI titled “Kidney Stone Disease: An Update on Current Concepts” kidney stone affects around 12% of the population. This is expected to augment the market during the forecast period.  Apart from this, gradual shift towards percutaneous nephrostomy and rapid adoption of nephrostomy catheters for diagnosis of renal and kidney problems is anticipated to boost the market.

However, risk of infection from catheters, and alternative treatment options for kidney and urinary diseases are the major reasons that may hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Regional Analysis:

Geographically, the nephrostomy catheters market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for the maximum market share in 2019. Greater adoption for percutaneous nephrostomy, increase in the number of antegrade pyelography and strategic presence of major manufacturers are the factors contributing to the expansion of the market in North America. According to the National Kidney Foundation, nearly half a million individuals visit the emergency room for kidney stone problems. This is expected to favor the market in North America. In Europe, the market is anticipated to grow owing to the rising number of renal calculi removal procedures and emerging government guidelines for the use of nephrostomy catheters. The market in Asia Pacific is estimated to witness remarkable growth which can be attributed to the increasing incidence of urinary diseases and favoring health reimbursement. In the Middle East and Africa and Latin America, the market is likely to expand owing to the gradual adoption of nephrostomy devices, significant increase in the number of percutaneous nephrostomy procedures, and rising disposable income of the population.
