Market Insights

According to the National Association for Incontinence data, in 2018, ~200 million people worldwide were affected by urinary incontinence. Stress incontinence and urge incontinence are the two common types of urinary incontinence affecting women, wherein the latter is also known as overactive bladder. Similarly, a study conducted by a group of researchers at the American College of Physicians and Infectious Diseases Society of America in 2020 stated that urinary tract infection (UTI) was the cause of ~6 million physician visits each year in the US. In Canada, ~500,000 visits to the doctor's office are for UTI consultations annually. UTI is the eighth and fifth most common reason for ambulatory clinic visits and emergency department visits, respectively, in the country. Thus, increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence and growing incidence of urinary tract infections are driving the overactive bladder treatment market.

Following are a few examples of new products launches and approvals:

  • In February 2022, Alembic Pharmaceuticals received approval from the US health regulator for its generic version of fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets, used for overactive bladder in adults with symptoms of urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency. The approval by the US Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) for the abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) for fesoterodine fumarate extended-release tablets is for strengths of 4 mg and 8 mg.
  • In April 2022, Axonics, Inc. a global medical technology company developing and commercializing novel products for the treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunction—announced the comprehensive launch of the Axonics F15 across the US. The newly developed, long-lived, fully recharge-free sacral neuromodulation (SNM) system received FDA approval in March. The Axonics recharge-free system is a welcome advancement for patients suffering from bladder and bowel dysfunction.
  • In March 2021, Astellas Pharma's Myrbetriq—used for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in pediatric patients aged three years and older (weighing 35 kg or more)—and Myrbetriq Granules—for the treatment of NDO in pediatric patients aged three years and older—were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Such product developments by market players are driving the overactive bladder treatment market.

Type Insights

Based on pharmacotherapy, the overactive bladder treatment market is segmented into mirabegron, botox, neurostimulation, anticholinergics, and intravesical instillation. The mirabegron segment held the largest share of the market in 2021 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Mirabegron is used alone or with solifenacin to treat overactive bladder in adults. It is used to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity (a bladder control condition caused by the brain, spinal cord, or nerve problem) in children aged three years or more. Mirabegron belongs to the class of drugs called beta-3 adrenergic agonists. It relaxes the bladder muscles to prevent urgent, frequent, or uncontrolled urination. Mirabegron is available as an extended-release (long-acting) tablet and an extended-release suspension that can be taken orally. In October 2022, Zydus Pharmaceuticals Inc. received approval from the USFDA to market Mirabegron Extended-Release Tablets USP 25 mg and 50 mg. The increasing demand for this therapy is expected to fuel the growth of the overactive bladder treatment market during the forecast period.

Services Insights

Based on pharmacotherapy, the overactive bladder treatment market is segmented into mirabegron, Botox, neurostimulation, anticholinergics, and intravesical instillation. The neurostimulation segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. Neurological control of the bladder is complex and depends on different spinal, central, and peripheral nerves, and their multiple reflex pathways. Neurological control is performed at different human body sites and, therefore, targets various nerves. Some of these target nerves are directly involved in lower urinary tract sensory-motor control, such as sacral or pudendal nerves, while others are more indirectly involved. Electrical stimulation is used to activate these nerves to control the bladder.

Partnerships and collaborations are highly adopted strategies by the global overactive bladder treatment market players. A few of the recent key market developments are listed below:

  • In April 2021, Medtronic plc announced approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to proceed with an investigational device exemption (IDE) trial to evaluate its internally developed implantable tibial neuromodulation (TNM) device a therapy designed to provide relief from symptoms of bladder incontinence.
  • In July 2020, Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. announced the approval of manufacturing and marketing for OABLOK PATCH in Thailand. The product is a systemic transdermal formulation developed using Hisamitsu’s Transdermal Drug Delivery System (TDDS) technology for treating overactive bladder with symptoms such as urinary urgency and frequent urination.
  • In July 2019, Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd. launched Solifenacin Succinate Tablets, which are muscarinic antagonists indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary incontinence and increase in urinary frequency.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown some favorable scenarios for players operating in the overactive bladder treatment market. The US was the highly affected country in North America. The infection severely affected the geriatric population in the country, causing various complications and leading to the death of a large population. For instance, as of May 16, 2022, the US reported 84,230,829 COVID cases with 1,026,670 deaths. Therefore, overactive bladder treatment and proper care are required to prevent chronic cases of infection and health conditions.

After the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been an increase in the occurrence of OAB. According to a study by American Urological Association, patients with COVID-19 infections were at an increased risk for developing new or worsening overactive bladder symptoms. Moreover, approximately one-third of patients with COVID-19 reported a significant increase in clinical symptoms during the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder Module (ICIQ-OAB) conducted two months after infection. Out of these one-third of patients, approximately 1 in 5 patients, reported that their OAB symptoms were new. This increased prevalence of OAB due to COVID-19 positively impacted the demand for overactive bladder treatment during the pandemic.

    Frequently Asked Questions


    What are the driving factors for the global overactive bladder treatment market across the world?

    The factors that are driving the growth of the overactive bladder treatment market are urinary tract infections (UTI) which lead to increased activity in the bladder wall muscles, causing symptoms like an overactive bladder. The bacteria causing UTIs reside in the lining of urothelial cells, and they attack the host body when their innate immunity is low. Individuals with recurrent UTIs are found to have voiding dysfunction and detrusor overactivity, and these functional abnormalities may further damage the integrity of the urothelial barrier. The increasing prevalence of UTIs, coupled with the association of UTIs with overactive bladder, is one of the prominent factors contributing to the overactive bladder treatment market growth.
