The catheter related blood stream infection market comprises catheters, introducers, connector caps, antimicrobial cleansing solutions, transparent dressings, and securement devices used in the prevention and management of catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). Catheter related blood stream infections occur when bacteria or other germs travel through a catheter into a patient's bloodstream and cause an infection. The widespread use of medical devices and instruments has increased the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections. Catheters are necessary for the delivery of medications, blood products, total parenteral nutrition, or for hemodynamic monitoring. However, the prolonged use or improper handling of catheters increases the risk of acquiring CRBSI.

The global catheter related blood stream infection market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1875.01 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.

Key Takeaways

Key players operating in The Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection are BASF SE, Croda International plc, Emery Oleochemicals, Haihang Industry Co., Ltd, Jiangsu Senxuan Pharmaceutical and Chemical Co., Ltd., Matrica S.p.A., Nantong Hengxing Electronic Materials Co., Ltd., Nantong Jinghua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Wufeng Chicheng Biotech Co., Ltd., and Xi'an Sonwu Biotech Co., Ltd. These players are focused on developing advanced catheters, connectors, caps and antimicrobial solutions to reduce the risk of CRBSI.

There is high growth potential in emerging markets such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa due to increasing healthcare infrastructure and growing patient population undergoing various surgical procedures in these regions. Key market players are investing in expanding their distribution networks and building manufacturing facilities in these high growth markets.

The increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant microbial infections has created new opportunities for developing combination therapies and antimicrobial coatings for catheters. Novel coating technologies that can release antimicrobial agents over longer durations are being researched. Catheter lock solutions containing antimicrobial locks are also gaining traction.

Market Drivers

Growing geriatric population susceptible to various chronic diseases is a key factor augmenting the market growth. According to the WHO, the global population aged over 60 years is expected to double from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050. Older adults frequently require long-term catheterization increasing their risk of CRBSIs.

Technological advancements in catheters such as antimicrobial coating, securement devices and connectors have improved safety and efficacy. Anti-microbial coated catheters have emerged as a promising technology for preventing infection and can drive long term market revenues.

Market Restraints

High costs associated with advanced catheters and lack of reimbursement for anti-microbial technologies in some regions can hinder market growth. Further, lack of standard rules for prevention across developing regions impacts market demand. The covid-19 pandemic also disrupted manufacturing and supply chains impacting market revenues in 2020-21.

Segment Analysis
The catheter related blood stream infection market is dominated by the short term catheter sub segment which holds around 70% of the total market share. Short term catheters are majorly used in hospitals for purposes like to provide medications, fluids, blood products etc. As short term catheterization has a high risk of blood stream infection due to frequent manipulation required for purpose of care, they demand more preventive measures against infections leading to higher adoption.

Global Analysis
North America holds the dominating position in the catheter related blood stream infection market and accounts for over 35% share. Presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure, stringent regulations regarding infection control and increase in number of surgeries are some key factors fueling the market in the region. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing regional market and is expected to witness a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period. Rising medical tourism coupled with improving healthcare standards in developing countries of Asia Pacific are promoting the market growth.
