Fetal Monitoring Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

Fetal Monitoring Market was valued at US$ 3 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% over the forecast period (2021-2027). A diagnostic tool used to monitor the movement and heart rate of the fetus and maternal contractions is known as a fetal monitoring system. It is a fundamental device that is used for monitoring uterine contractions during labor. It mainly monitors well-being of the fetus and progress of labor. In medical terms, it is referred to as a medical method to check the health of an unborn baby to ensure a safe birth. In addition, it is also used to monitor chronic lung diseases, mental retardation, neonatal diseases, hypothermia, vision & hearing problems, and jaundice. During labor and in pregnancy, the doctor checks the heartbeat of the baby to monitor the health of the unborn fetus. It is a very common procedure adopted by healthcare providers during labor and pregnancy. There are two ways to do the monitoring. First is the external monitoring that requires a special tool called fetoscope that uses sound waves and computers. The second way of monitoring is internal monitoring that requires putting a small electrode on the baby’s head while he or she is in a female uterus.

The growth of this market is driven owing to the escalating prevalence of preterm births, favorable government policies, advanced technologies of fetal monitoring systems, and active product launches. For instance, according to World Health Organization, stated in 2018, approximately 15 million preterm babies are born each year (before 37 weeks of gestation), which is more than 1 out of 10 infants and this number is increasing per year. In 184 nations, preterm birth rates vary from 5% to 18% of infants born. Increase in preterm birth worldwide is one of the major factors in driving the market. Also, the development of noninvasive, portable, and advanced fetal monitors and emerging markets and strengthening infrastructure are anticipated to offer an opportunity for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The 10 Countries With The Greatest Number Of Preterm Births, 2018

More than 60% of preterm births occur in Africa and South Asia, but preterm birth is truly a global problem. In the lower-income countries, on average, 12% of babies are born too early compared with 9% in higher-income countries. Within countries, poorer families are at higher risk. There is a dramatic difference in survival of premature babies depending on where they are born. For example, more than 90% of extremely preterm babies (less than 28 weeks) born in low-income countries die within the first few days of life; yet less than 10% of extremely preterm babies die in high-income settings.

Cardinal Health, Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, FUJIFILM SonoSite, Inc., Natus Medical Incorporated, Huntleigh Healthcare Limited, The Cooper Companies Inc., CONTEC Medical Systems Co., Ltd., EDAN Diagnostics, Inc. are some of the prominent players operating in the global fetal monitoring market. Several M&A’s along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to develop new and advanced fetal monitoring products.
