The global market for central venous catheters reached $3 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. A central venous catheter may also be referred to as a central line or a central venous line. It is a flexible tube that is put into the vein on the right side of the collarbone and led to the superior vena cava, a major vein that leads to the heart. A central venous catheter is used to administer various fluids, which are thus easily administered into the patients' bodies. The fluids consist of intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, and chemotherapy medications. These devices have proved life-saving for individuals who are unable to consume food orally. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular illness and chronic kidney disease, as well as the growing requirement for prolonged intravenous therapy in critically ill patients, will continue to drive demand for venous catheters over the forecast period. According to a research report published in Kidney International Reports in 2021, around 80% of patients with end-stage renal illness initiate kidney replacement therapy with a hemodialysis-central venous catheter (HD-CVC) in the U.S. A high frequency of chronic diseases results in increased patient traffic in medical and healthcare facilities. During the forecast period, the market for central venous catheters is anticipated to expand at a stable rate due to the high prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and chronic renal diseases, as well as a large elderly population sensitive to age-related ailments.

It has been demonstrated that ultrasound-guided insertions increase the safety and efficacy of CVC placement and reduce the incidence of problems. Greater accessibility to product-based solutions, such as quality control and infection prevention recommendations, has boosted the worldwide central venous catheter market's total revenue growth. These aspects are largely influenced by the worldwide disease load, increased disposable income, and growing knowledge of the adoption of surgical techniques for disease management.

Rise of CVDs Fuelling Market Growth

The escalating prevalence of CVDs/cardiovascular disorders (coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, etc.) is one of the key drivers propelling the market's expansion from 2020 to 2030. In 2017, according to the American Heart Association (AHA), CVDs caused 868,662 deaths. CHD (coronary heart disease) was the leading cause of mortality in the United States in 2018 (42.1%), followed by stroke (17.0%), high BP (11.0%), Cardiac failure (9.6%), arterial disorders (2.8%), and other CVDs (17.0%). Due to the increase in CVDs, the usage of CVCs such as percutaneous central venous catheters, subclavian vein catheters, femoral venous catheters, non-tunneled percutaneous central venous catheters, triple lumen central venous catheters, subclavian central venous catheters, PICC line catheters, internal jugular vein catheters for dialysis, implanted ports, etc., as well as procedures. Additionally, the growing need for antimicrobial catheters, quick technical improvements, and the increase in the geriatric population are considerably driving the market's expansion as a whole. According to UNESA (Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations), there were roughly 727Mn persons aged 65 or over in the globe in 2020. By 2050, the number is projected to exceed 1.5 billion.

An Increase in The Number of CLABSI Patients Is Boosting Sales in China

The market for central venous catheters in China is primarily driven by the country's high incidence of central-line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). According to a multi-centre prospective study on CLABSI in ICUs of China in 2021, the incidence of CLABSI in ICUs of China is approximately 1.5/1000 catheter days. This high prevalence encourages the adoption of central venous catheters in the country, hence driving the market's expansion as a whole. Similarly, the simple availability of catheters at significantly reduced prices, favourable government backing, and the rising number of medical procedures conducted in the country would stimulate the expansion of the market for central venous catheters.

Market Demand for Non-Tunnelled Catheters Will Remain Strong

According to FMI, the CVC catheter segment presently dominates the global market for central venous catheters, and this trend is anticipated to continue throughout the projected period. Non-tunneled CVC catheters are the most popular among end users and account for approximately 77.0% of the global market. This is due to the increasing use of non-tunneled catheters in short-term therapy and emergencies. Since non-tunneled catheters are associated with lower treatment costs and shorter hospital stays, this sector has a significant impact on the overall growth of the central venous catheter market.

Key Factors Restraining the Central Venous Catheters Market

Several strategies for controlling and avoiding infections associated with intravascular catheters (CRI). However, CRIs continues to be one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections and are associated with longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and mortality. It has been demonstrated that developing nations have significantly higher rates of device-associated infections, particularly those involving CVCs. Catheters, such as multi-lumen catheters, cannot be used to feed invasive devices, such as pacemakers or pulmonary artery catheters. In addition, a large number of product recalls have hindered the market's expansion as a whole. Cook Medical launched a voluntary recall on 360 batches of single-lumen CVCs, pressure monitoring sets, and trays on January 6, 2016, due to the possibility of catheter tip breakage and separation. The global recall involved a total of 17,827 devices.

Non-Antimicrobial Segment Dominated the Market by Property

In 2021, the non-antimicrobial catheter category held a market share of around 75% and is anticipated to maintain its leading position throughout the assessment period. This can be related to the growing preference among consumers for non-antimicrobial catheters because of their low price. Globally, non-coated or non-antimicrobial central venous catheters are widely distributed. The preference adjustments toward coated or anti-microbial catheters have not significantly reduced the incidence of CLABSI or other related illnesses. Therefore, from a production standpoint, non-anti-microbial catheters are mass-produced with minimal or no additional coating costs.

Double Lumens Catheters Dominated the Market by Design

In 2021, the double-lumen catheters category accounted for approximately 65% of the global central venous catheter market. Medium- and long-term use is better suited for chronic double-lumen or double-catheter insertions. With a growing number of hospital and ICU admissions, the category applies to patients receiving long-term care therapy, hence supporting a greater global market share.

The hospital Segment Dominated the End User Segment

The hospital's segment of the central venous catheter market held a revenue share of approximately 60% in 2021 and is expected to increase at a faster rate during the forecast period.
