A ‘preterm’ birth refers to delivery prior to 37 weeks of gestation or 259 days. This generally occurs due to poor prenatal care, high maternal age, induced fertility, labor treatments, and lifestyle choices such as obesity and smoking. Preterm infants usually weigh less than 2.5 Kg; and need external medical assistance for survival, often for the whole year. The health complications of preterm infants include inability with regards to breathing, breastfeeding, and maintenance of optimum body temperature. The neonates are also more prone to jaundice, anemia, and other chronic diseases. The worldwide incidence of preterm births is approximately 9.6%. Its global distribution is uneven, with almost 85% of preterm births occurring in Africa and Asia as a result of substantially larger number of deliveries and higher fertility levels in these regions as compared to the other parts of the world.

This report studies the global fetal and neonatal care market divided into global NICU equipment market, global labor and delivery equipment market, and global other labor & delivery equipment & NICU equipment market over the forecasted period (2011-2016). The global NICU equipment market was worth $1.4 billion in 2011; growing at a steady pace of 6.4% CAGR to reach $1.9 billion in 2016. The global labor and delivery equipment market that primarily consists of fetal monitors is valued at $612 million in 2011; growing at a sluggish rate of 5.9% to reach $797 million in 2016. The global other labor & delivery equipment & NICU equipment market that mainly consists of respiratory assistance devices, monitoring equipment, and delivery systems is worth over $2.2 billion in 2011; growing at a CAGR of 6.4% to reach $3.2 billion in 2016.

Players are implementing various growth strategies in the market to gain competitive edge. New product launches, agreements and collaborations, partnerships, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions were certain strategies adopted by the players between January 2008 and June 2011. Our research indicates that new product launches form a major growth strategy in the global fetal and neonatal care market; accounting for a 44% of its share.

The global fetal and neonatal care equipment market is highly dynamic and growing due to continuous R&D activity. With the increasing need for wireless technology and varying customer requirements, the companies are focusing on continuous development and keeping an eye on innovation of products by releasing upgraded and improved versions of devices into the market to accurately monitor the neonates, thereby increasing the survival rates.

The other major growth strategy adopted by the players is agreements and collaborations with a share of 36%. Distribution agreements for business expansion into different geographies are also prevalent in the industry. Healthcare service provider companies also entered into agreements with device manufacturing companies so as to improve patient care, delivery care, and quick identification of risks.

Global Fetal (Labor & Delivery) and Neonatal Care Equipment Market (2011-2016)

Preterm births are the underlying cause for the fetal and neonatal care products and services market across the globe. Preterm birth poses a grave challenge to perinatal and maternal care and is the major reason for neonatal mortality. Around 28% of the 4 million annual neonatal deaths that occur worldwide are directly attributed to preterm birth. This percentage of neonatal deaths is different for various countries, depending on their respective degree of neonatal mortality. The primary reason for such pronounced differences is the cause of neonatal death and the stark measure of health care inequities between low and high resource settings.

Preterm infant care equipment significantly reduces the fatality rates in preterm infants by aiding the babies to cope with lethal diseases. Neonatal therapy devices such as ventilators, intravenous lines, and incubators can be life-critical for preterm infants, as they provide essential respiratory, nutritional, and temperature support. Neonatal diagnostic/monitoring equipment such as apnea monitors and cardiopulmonary/vital signs monitors are also essential for the survival of preterm infants, as they provide constant monitoring and disease diagnosis.

According to the National Institute of Health, the increased adoption of preterm equipment has enhanced the survival rate of premature babies. For example, in 2008, the average survival rate of preterm infants weighing 800 grams or more was found to be around 90%.

The global fetal and neonatal care equipment market is broadly segmented into NICU equipment market, labor and delivery equipment market, and other “Labor & Delivery & NICU equipment market”. The global NICU equipment market was worth $1.4 billion in 2011; growing at a steady pace of CAGR 6.4% to reach $1.9 billion in 2016. The global labor and delivery equipment market that primarily consists of fetal monitors is valued at $612 million in 2011; growing at a sluggish rate of 5.9% to reach $797 million in 2016. The global other labor & delivery equipment & NICU equipment market that mainly consists of respiratory assistance devices, monitoring equipment, and delivery systems is worth over $2.2 billion in 2011; growing at a CAGR of 6.4% to reach $3.2 billion in 2016.

The global fetal and neonatal care market is expected to be driven by the increasing incidence of preterm births and efforts towards increasing the survival rate of preterm babies across the globe are expected to be primary driver for the fetal and neonatal care equipment market.

IMPACT OF KEY MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

Apart from this, availability of low cost equipment, and development of integrated and multifunction equipment also act as drivers for this market. Government initiatives for providing better care facilities for preterm babies and reduction in rate of preterm births have played a vital role in market growth for fetal and neonatal care equipment. The “UN Millennium Development Goals” aimed towards reduction in infant mortality rate are driving the market for these equipments in the developing nations across Asia and LATAM regions.

Even after significant developments, the global fetal and neonatal care equipment market has matured in the developed nations and is severely restrained by the high entry barriers due to relatively high penetration levels of distribution channels.

Low scope for product differentiation is also one of the hindrances to the growth of this market. A large portion of this market is driven by the replacement sales and sales of accessories only.
