Neonatal & Fetal (Labor & Delivery) Care Equipment Market

Report Overview

The global neonatal & fetal (labor & delivery) care equipment market was pegged at US$ 7.11 billion in 2020 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.

Market Fundamentals

Neonatal intensive care units (NICU) provide specialized care and treatment for premature babies. These units have well-trained nurses, doctors, and neonatal specialists that deal with newborn care. Different hospitals come with different levels of a NICU. The most common devices or systems used in NICU are incubators, cardiorespiratory monitors, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, temperature probes, and IV lines, among others. NICU admissions are very common as the rate of premature births is increasing.

Fetal care units are dedicated risk infant specialty delivery units for healthy mothers whose infants might require intensive and critical care after birth. Babies that are diagnosed with fetal health syndrome require special care and this care is provided in fetal and neonatal care units. The fetal care professionals perform a range of prenatal testing and fetal interventions that help diagnose infants with any abnormalities.
