U.S. Female External Catheter Market Summary
The U.S. female external catheter market size was estimated at USD 442.65 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 807.43 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.09% from 2025 to 2033. The market growth is driven by the rising prevalence of urinary incontinence among women, especially in the aging population, increasing awareness and adoption of non-invasive urinary management solutions, and the growing demand for improved hygiene and comfort in long-term care and hospital settings.
In addition, the shift toward home healthcare services and advancements in female external catheter design further fuel market growth. According to the Vintage 2024 Population Estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2024, women accounted for 50.5% of the total U.S. population, overtaking the number of men by approximately 3.4 million.
The increasing prevalence of chronic health conditions, particularly diabetes and ovarian cancer, is anticipated to significantly contribute to the growing demand for female external catheters in the U.S. These conditions are associated with urinary complications, such as bladder dysfunction or incontinence, which require non-invasive and patient-friendly management solutions to maintain comfort, hygiene, and quality of life, especially in elderly and chronically ill patients. According to data published in August 2024 by Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism, approximately 96 million U.S. adults are living with prediabetes, while an additional 37 million individuals have been diagnosed with diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes among females stood at 11.56% in 2022, highlighting a substantial burden on the female population.
Furthermore, ovarian cancer remains a critical health issue among U.S. women, with rising case numbers projected over the coming decades. This form of cancer can also lead to urinary dysfunctions, particularly after surgery or treatment, further increasing the need for supportive urinary care products such as female external catheters.
