Peripheral I.V. Catheter Market Dynamics

Trends

Increasing adoption of closed catheters that help inject contrast media during computed tomography (CT) is a key trend observed in the peripheral I.V. catheter market. These catheters are made of polyurethane material and can withstand pressures that may exceed 300 pounds per square inch (psi). Since they can withstand high pressures, with minimal reduction in flexibility, they are increasingly being used for CT imaging applications.

Drivers

Increasing prevalence of chronic ailments and growing healthcare expenditure in developed and developing countries are the two most important factors driving the growth of the peripheral I.V. catheter market. Moreover, the introduction of advanced medical treatments that involve the use of peripheral I.V. catheters is driving the market growth. Rise in healthcare expenditure is facilitating introduction of affordable healthcare and accessibility to various treatment options for medical conditions, which, in turn, is fueling the product demand in the market.

Opportunities

Growing adoption of these products in emerging economies is expected to provide a huge growth opportunity to the players operating in the peripheral I.V. catheter market. The product adoption in these countries is driven by factors such as growing awareness on advanced methods of treatment, increased focus on curtailing needlestick injuries, and rising healthcare expenditure. Also, the lack of adequate healthcare facilities in countries such as China, India, and Brazil, which is encouraging market players to invest in these economies. Moreover, various initiatives are being taken to spread awareness about the advantages of new, improved peripheral intravenous catheters, including safety I.V. catheters.

Restraints

The high cost of catheters is hindering the growth of the peripheral I.V. catheter market to some extent. The high price of catheters increases the overall treatment cost, due to which patients, at times, prefer taking oral medications, instead to opting for treatment that involves the use of these catheters.

Peripheral I.V. Catheter Market Competitive Landscape

Becton, Dickinson and Company, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Terumo Corporation, Smiths Medical Inc., Teleflex Incorporated, Tangent Medical Technologies Inc., C.R.
