Product Description
The global catheter cap market was valued at $349 million in 2025. This is expected to increase over the forecast period at a CAGR of 3.1% to reach over $433 million by 2032.
Catheter caps are single-use disinfection devices designed to cover needleless connectors and open catheter ports between accesses. These caps typically contain an antiseptic agent that is released upon contact with residual fluid in the catheter hub, providing continuous passive disinfection and reducing microbial colonization of the access point between line manipulations.

Global Catheter Cap Market Trends
Underlying catheter utilization trends continue to support long-term growth in the catheter cap market. Aging populations and rising prevalence of chronic disease are contributing to increased hospitalization rates and greater reliance on vascular access devices. Because the majority of hospitalized patients receive at least one catheter during their stay, growth in catheter placements directly translates into expanding demand for adjunct infection-prevention products, including catheter caps, throughout the forecast period.
Global Catheter Cap Market Share Insights
- Solventum Corp. was formally launched as an independent company on April 2024 and as a planned spin- off of 3M’s health care business. In 2025, Solventum held the leading position in the catheter cap market with its Curos™ line of products designed to disinfect catheter ports. These caps, suitable for needleless connectors and Luers, contain isopropyl alcohol solution proven to disinfect open catheter ports within a minute. Offering protection for up to 7 days, Curos™ caps are replaced each time the port is accessed, resulting in multiple cap uses per catheter daily, driving higher sales. 3M highlights the cost-saving potential of Curos™ caps compared with treating infections. While studies vary, many estimate savings of over $30,000 associated with Curos™ cap usage. Additionally, Solventum is a leader of the catheter securement market, primarily through sales of its Tegaderm dressings and Curos™ products.
- ICU Medical emerged as the second-leading player in the catheter cap market, particularly in dialysis caps, following the acquisition of Pursuit Vascular in 2019. Pursuit Vascular’s ClearGuard® HD caps use chlorhexidine for disinfection, reducing catheter-related bloodstream infections by around 70%.
