Geographically, North America is expected to be the largest region in the global urinary catheters market. This dominance is driven by the proliferation of various diseases in which catheterization is needed, the rapid growth of the economy, the increasing number of hospitals, the rising number of surgeries, and good complementary policies. According to the United States Census Bureau (2017), 47.8 million are diagnosed with these disorders. It is expected that the number will rise to 98.2 million by 2060. In addition, this older population has an increased susceptibility to spinal cord injury (SCI), urinary incontinence, and benign prostate hyperplasia. 

The U.S. urinary catheters market is expected to lead the North American market during the forecast period. Increasing disposable income in urban areas and a rise in awareness over the use of the devices in healthcare sectors greatly influence the demand of the market. In the U.S., nearly 47.8 million people are diagnosed with kidney disorders. By 2060, the number is expected to rise to a 98.2million. In the United States, nosocomial catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for nearly 1 million cases and approximately 31% of nosocomial diseases seen in the intensive care unit each year. About 10% to 30% of patients with bladder catheters develop bacterial or UTI. It leads to increased morbidity and mortality and contributes to more extended hospital stays and increased medical costs. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the U.S. urinary catheters market during the forecast period.

Canada is expected to hold the second-largest country, followed by the U.S., due to factors like growing awareness in the patient regarding the urinary catheters and the growing utilization of catheters, which drives Canada's market growth during the analysis period.
