The global fetal and neonatal care equipment market size is expected to reach USD 13.4 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.47% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be attributed to factors such as increasing birth rates in developing countries and the increasing prevalence of premature births. 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. In addition, hospital infections such as central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and healthcare-associated pneumonia among newborns are contributing to market growth.
According to WHO estimates, 15 million infants are born preterm. To address the complications associated with babies born prematurely, the demand for fetal and neonatal devices is expected to rise significantly. In addition, the consequences of supportive government policies are propelling the market growth. For instance, in October 2018, the Australian Government announced a provision of AUD 600,000 to the Miracle Babies Foundation to support the families of premature babies. Moreover, most people in developed countries prefer home care. This has surged the adoption of pregnancy monitoring systems as they are more beneficial than traditional devices.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the market. Preterm infants with conditions that require long-term hospitalization are susceptible to nosocomial (hospital) infections. As such, the availability of neonatal equipment in healthcare facilities has been unpleasantly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to the fear of infection among infants, hospitals, gynecological clinics, and infant care centers were shunned during the pandemic period. Thus, the pandemic had a destructive impact on the growth of the market in short term. However, the market is expected to witness lucrative growth in the coming years.
