Prenatal And Neonatal Equipment Care Market

Prenatal and Neonatal Equipment Care Market Size (2022 to 2027)

The global prenatal and neonatal equipment care market size is estimated to grow USD 10.56 billion by 2027 from USD 7.78 billion in 2022, showcasing a CAGR of 6.30% from 2022 to 2027.

Prenatal and neonatal equipment care is for premature babies with an underdeveloped immune system, lungs, skin, and digestive tract. The birth rate of premature babies is continuously increasing and is highly frequent across the world. Therefore, equipment such as incubators is highly adopted for babies born in less than the gestation period, which is usually 37 weeks.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Y-O-Y growth in the prevalence of birth of children with low weight and preterm infants is majorly promoting the global prenatal and neonatal equipment care market.

A continually growing percentage of working women, the emergence of advanced healthcare systems due to technological advancements, and rapid urbanization from the past decade further boost the market's growth rate. Also, factors such as increasing disposable income, increasing healthcare expenditure, increasing awareness among people among maternal healthcare, and a rise in demand for prenatal therapeutics and diagnostics, are catalyzing the growth of the global prenatal and neonatal equipment care market.

Intensive focus on initiatives from the private and public organizations for developing advanced monitoring systems and devices for effective care of expecting women and premature infants is anticipated to be creating more growth opportunities for the key players in the market during the forecast period. Increasing urbanization with growing awareness in the population about prenatal and neonatal health concerns are expected to offer growth opportunities for the stakeholders in the global prenatal and neonatal equipment market during the forecast period. In addition, the emergence of novel and innovative equipment for prenatal and neonatal healthcare is supposed to create growth opportunities for the immunoassays market stakeholders. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The significant factors that are restraining the growth of the prenatal and neonatal equipment care market are adopting a sedentary lifestyle, enforcement of stringent laws by various governments to control population rate, the declining price of birth rates due to women empowerment leading to an increased number of employed women across the world.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global prenatal and neonatal equipment care market:

The spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is regularly expanding. Pregnant women are more prone to contract the infection compared to other people. In pregnant women, the cases of COVID-19 pneumonia are mild with rapid and better recovery. Pregnant women with heart diseases are at higher risk. The pandemic affects both maternal health directly and indirectly, and neonatal or newborn babies are to be cared for. One-third of the women had insufficient antenatal visits, and the absence of regular antenatal visits and unsupervised pregnancies can have indirect adverse effects on maternal health. Children are significantly less susceptible to COVID-19 infection, and they do have a mild course. Therefore, the prenatal and neonatal equipment care market growth rate will likely grow steadily in the coming years.
