According to Patient Care Link Organization, In American hospitals alone, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that HAIs account for an estimated 1.7 million infections and 99,000 associated deaths each year. Out of these infections 32% of all healthcare-acquired infection is urinary tract infections, 22% are surgical site infections, 15 % are pneumonia (lung infections), 14% are bloodstream infections. Hence, urethral dilators can be used in treatment for urinary infection caused due to healthcare acquired infections.

Patients who acquire infections from surgery have to spend, on average, an additional around 6.5 days in the hospital, and are five times more likely to be readmitted after discharge and twice as likely to die. Moreover, surgical patients who develop infections are 60 % more likely to require admission to a hospital's intensive care unit where they will be treated by urethral dilators for any urinary infection.

In addition, according to the WHO reports 7 out of 100 hospitalized patients in developed countries and 10 in developing countries develop at least one HAI which is increasing the number of patients for urinary tract infection which need these dilators for treatment, and further growing the market.

Moreover, several manufacturers in the urethral dilators industry work in partnership with key medical device distributors to market and supply their products across the globe or in certain countries. Therefore, strategic alliances are quite common among them as these alliances not only help the manufacturers acquire the license to market their product but also reduce their liability in case of product recall and adverse events. For instance, in February 2019, Coloplast signed a three-year contract with Premier Inc., a US based healthcare improvement company, for its urology products. The general urological products include drainage systems, dilators, catheters, and other accessories, thereby growing penetration of the product in the market.
