The catheter stabilization devices market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.29 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.3% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Catheter stabilization devices are used to hold intravascular catheters and various other medical tubes securely in place. Catheter stabilization devices help to protect the insertion site and decrease the risk of infection and accidental dislodgement. Catheters are increasingly used for the administration of fluids, drugs, blood products, and nutritional supplements in hospitals. Thus, the growing number of hospital admissions has increased the demand for secure catheterization and catheter stabilization devices.

Market key trends:
The growing prevalence of sepsis and hospital-acquired infections are the major factors driving the growth of the catheter stabilization devices market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1.7 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. develop healthcare-associated infections each year. The risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections is reduced with the use of secure catheter stabilization devices. Technological advancements in secure catheterization devices with improved design and adhesive materials are also fueling the market growth. Major market players are focusing on developing innovative stabilization devices integrated with safety features like anti-microbial properties to prevent healthcare-associated infections and reduce costs associated with patient care.
