The global fetal (labor & delivery) and neonatal care equipment market size is expected to reach USD 10.6 billion by 2026 expanding at a CAGR of 6.9%, based on a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Fetal and neonatal care devices consist of a variety of equipment that are designed to monitor and detect complications in newborn babies. The market growth can be attributed to factors such as a growing birthrate in developing countries coupled with rising prevalence of associated premature births also known as preemies.
Furthermore, neonatal hospital-acquired infections such as Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) and healthcare-associated pneumonia are additional notable factors responsible for the market growth. Various aspects such as delayed maternal age, induced fertility, and lack of proper prenatal care are considered to be major factors contributing to the birth of premature babies.
According to the WHO estimates, 15 million neonates are born annually and a million were reported to die from preterm birth complications in 2015. To address the complications associated with babies born prematurely, the demand for fetal and neonatal care equipment is expected to rise significantly. In addition, consequences of supportive government policies coupled with rapid technological advancements in modern fetal and neonatal medical equipment is expected to contribute for growth in the long term.
The UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) data stated that 2.5 million children died in the first month of life in 2017 across the world. Furthermore, preterm and low weight birth babies are susceptible to many health risks and require specialized care. Hence, the demand for neonatal equipment is expected to grow exponentially.
Neonatal equipment has been observed to have an increasing demand in middle-income countries, as birth rates in these countries are higher, and the priority for improved fetal & neonatal care is high in these countries. As a result, sales of the equipment are expected to flourish at a rapid rate.
