The global urinary flow meters market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market include the significant prevalence of bladder cancer and advances in urine flow meters. Bladder cancer is one of the major conditions that affect the normal flow of the urine and therefore, doctors use urodynamic tests to evaluate the amount of urine voided during urination and measures the speed of urination by using urine flow meters. 

As per the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), bladder cancer is the sixth most commonly occurring cancer in men and the 17th most commonly occurring cancer in women. In 2018, the new incidences of bladder cancer reported were 550,000. Bladder cancer patients may have pain in the flanks due to urine flow obstruction from the kidney to the bladder. Therefore, urinary flow meters can be used to detect the exact cause of the condition. 

With the measurement of urine flow rate, the uroflow test can anticipate the obstruction or blockage that inhibits the flow of urine through its normal path. It is used to detect urinary conditions, including enlarged prostate or a weakened bladder. The urine flow test enables to understand whether the bladder is working properly or not. Urinary flow meters calculate the amount of urine, the length of time it takes to empty the bladder completely, and the urine flow rate in milliliters per second. As a result, urine flow meters facilitate doctors to detect urinary conditions.

Segmentation

The global urinary flow meters market is segmented based on type and end-user. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into wireless urine flow meters and wired urine flow meters. The wireless urinary flow meters segment is expected to exhibit a significant rate during the forecast period. Based on end-user, the market is classified into hospitals & clinics, diagnostics & pathology labs and others.

Hospitals & Clinics Finds its Significant Application in End-User Segment

The increasing number of multi-specialty hospitals and the increasing number of urologic clinics coupled with the increasing number of urologists is estimated to drive the demand for urinary flow meters in hospitals and clinics. For instance, as per the American Urological Association, the national urologist-to-population ratio in the US increased to 3.89 per 100,000 population in 2017, up from 3.85 in 2016. This rising number of urologists is expected to increase the possibilities for opening new urologic clinics, which in turn, will increase the adoption of urinary flow meters to measure the flow rate of urine and detect urinary diseases among patients.

Regional Outlook

Geographically, the global urinary flow meters market is segmented on the basis of four major regions, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW. North America has witnessed considerable growth in the market in 2018 owing to the significant prevalence of bladder and prostate cancer and significant awareness for urinary disorders in the region. For instance, the American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates for bladder cancer in the US that nearly 80,470 (nearly 61,700 in men and 18,770 in women) will be reported by 2019. In the US, it is the fourth most common cancer in men, however, it is less common in women. As a result, the adoption of uroflowmetry machines is growing significantly among end-users to offer an efficient and reliable diagnosis of the patients’ condition.

Market Players Outlook

Some of the major players operating in the market include Laborie, Inc., Dantec Dynamics Ltd., Apex MediTech, SCHIPPERS-MEDIZINTECHNIK, and Minze Health. Laborie, Inc. These players offer a range of urine flow meters, which include FLOWSTAR, UROCAP IV, UROCAP IV Light, and NXT PRO. The FLOWSTAR is a compact and digital flowmeter with features, such as cost-effective, easy to use and precision. The digital weight sensor can be placed under a micturition chair and/or equipped on a height-adjustable uroflow stand. 

Laborie, Inc. is significantly focusing on expanding its share in uroflowmetry by acquiring other manufacturers of urine flow meters. For instance, in March 2017, Laborie acquired Andromeda Medizinische Systems GmbH, a provider of urodynamics products. This acquisition enabled Laborie to broaden its urodynamic product offerings in Europe, primary in Germany. In addition, the product lines of Andromeda complement the urodynamic product offerings of Laborie and will further widen its global reach. 

Some innovations in urinary flow meters have been observed that can support patients to diagnose their urinary condition at home. For instance, in April 2018, Minze Health launched Hospiflow and Homeflow that allows men, women, and children suffering from bladder dysfunction or urinary symptoms to be diagnosed and monitored comfortably, both in the hospital or at home. These are the world’s first uroflowmeters for use on a normal toilet that can be connected to an automated voiding diary app. This allows clinicians to consult the patients’ data on an online platform. Minze Health has gained all essential CE certifications and ISO13485 for medical devices. These uroflowmeters can enhance the patient’s comfort and better outcomes for clinicians.
