MARKET DRIVERS

Rise in Preterm Births Fuels Growth

Over the forecast period, the North American infant incubator market is predicted to rise due to an increase in preterm babies. A growing number of researchers are focusing on newborn incubator advances, which is likely to boost the infant incubator market growth in this region. Skin-to-skin contact between mother and child, according to the experts, reduces the incidence of pulmonary problems and liver infections. Implementation of such technologies in existing products is likely to promote infant incubator market growth. Furthermore, the potential customer base and government and non-profit measures to raise awareness about the constant rise in the birth rate of preterm newborns are projected to boost the expansion of the North American infant incubator market. The rise in the number of preterm babies born with low birth weights and other abnormalities, the use of newborn incubators has boosted the survival rate of infants are key factors driving the infant incubator industry. Therefore, the rising rate of preterm birth is expected to drive the industry forward.

Advances in Neonatal Care Propel Growth

Advances in neonatal care, the rising birth rate of preterm newborns, and greater awareness among those worried about neonatal care units are driving the baby incubator industry. NICU unit installations are expected to increase throughout the period, propelling market development. In addition, the financing of infant healthcare facilities in emerging economies by government and private organizations is projected to create attractive growth possibilities for the infant incubators market.  The transport infant incubator accounted for around one-third of the overall market. This is because transport infant incubators are more often utilized in emergency scenarios to securely transfer infants from one area to another in a controlled environment.  Manufacturers focus on bringing technologically advanced items to market (such as pressure diffusing mattresses and disposable skin probes). These devices protect newborns at their most vulnerable time of development.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

High Cost of Newborn Incubators Limits Adoption

The North American infant incubator market is restrained by the high cost of newborn incubators and the lack of access to neonatal care in this region. In addition, the market's expansion is hampered by a shortage of NICU facilities and the high cost.
