Market Size 

Global Chest Drainage Catheter Market size was valued at US$ 243.47 million in 2022 and is estimated to reach US$ 369.75 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031 

A chest drainage catheter, a tube inserted into the pleural space the region between the lung and the chest wall serves to alleviate breathing difficulties by extracting excess fluid or air accumulation. Typically, the tube is inserted through the chest wall and linked to a drainage system, facilitating the collection and removal of the fluid or air from the body. These catheters are frequently employed post-surgery, trauma, or in instances of pneumonia or lung cancer.

Chest Drainage Catheter Market Trends 

An increasing number of pleural infection patients drive the market growth      

Pleural infection most commonly occurs as a secondary infection in severe or undertreated pneumonia. Still, recently and increasingly, the primary pleural infection has been recognized without evidence of parenchymal infection, possibly due to advances in imaging and earlier computed tomography scanning. 

As per the article published in the Journal of Aspiration in 2021, the incidence of the pleural disease is rising and is estimated to be 3000 per million patients in the United Kingdom (UK) alone. The presence of air (pneumothorax) or fluid (pleural effusion) in the pleural space or the development of benign, malignant or infective processes often necessitates intervention to relieve symptoms. Drainage is routinely performed with small bore aspiration kits (usually 6 or 8 French gauge) or insertion of a Seldinger intercostal drain (ICD). 

In addition, thoracocentesis and ICD insertion are invasive procedures, and the risk of complications has historically been high. Widespread thoracic ultrasound use has reduced the incidence of complications, including incorrect placement, drain displacement, bleeding, infection, failure to place the drain, pneumothorax, surgical emphysema, re-expansion pulmonary edema and death.
