Furthermore, various medical device companies across the globe are actively working on launching new technologies and equipment to aid healthcare professionals in providing better patient care. For instance, in May 2024, Natera, Inc. announced the launch of their new cfDNA-based fetal RhD test. The test can be performed at nine weeks gestation to determine fetal RhD status, including RhD-CE-D hybrid variants and complex pseudogenes. The key differentiators to the company’s test are the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) based technology and the lack of availability of fetal RhD assessment. Such innovations are expected to be crucial in improving outcomes for infants and mothers and aid healthcare providers in effectively diagnosing and treating patients. Technological innovations are also increasing the sophistication of monitoring cardiac activities, oxygen saturation, and tracking vital signs in real time. The growing availability of wireless devices is reducing the risk of infections and enhancing the comfort of neonates in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Increasing Birth Rate Boosts Market Demand

The rising birth rate in various countries across the globe is augmenting the requirement for effective fetal and neonatal care equipment to ensure patient health. As per the estimates of the CDC, in the United States, 3,596,017 births were registered in 2023. As the birth rate continues to increase in different regions, the requirement for fetal and neonatal care devices will continue to grow for routine monitoring and providing proper care to critically ill and prematurely born infants.

Additionally, the growing emphasis on ensuring fetal health can also be attributed to the rising incidences of high-risk and geriatric pregnancies. The increasing cases of geriatric pregnancies are also boosting the global fetal and neonatal care market demand as geriatric pregnancies are associated with a high risk of premature birth, increased chances of C-section and pregnancy loss, and a high risk of chromosomal conditions. Thus, augmenting the requirement for effective neonatal and fetal care solutions to ensure the mother's and offspring's health and well-being.

Novel Launches Support Market Expansion

The growing efforts of leading healthcare companies to bolster the availability of advanced medical technologies for effectively monitoring maternal and fetal health is one of the major drivers of the fetal and neonatal care market. For instance, in February 2024, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. announced that their Novii+ Wireless Patch Solution has received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The maternal and fetal monitor is used for noninvasively displaying and measuring fetal heart rates and can be used for both intrapartum and antepartum pregnant patients. The device provides a personalized view of the status of the fetus and mother. It alerts the medical team about changes in contraction patterns and heart rates during labor for proactive intervention. The non-invasive monitoring device also allows for early detection of potential health issues in fetuses.

Such novel product launches and approvals are driving the growth of the global fetal and neonatal care market by improving patient outcomes, enhancing the quality of care provided to mothers, and addressing the specific healthcare requirements of newborns and fetuses.

Hospitals Account for Significant Market Share

The increasing birth rate in various countries is propelling the requirement for fetal and neonatal care equipment from hospitals so that they can meet patient requirements. Thus, various government and non-governmental organizations are increasingly investing in hospital infrastructure to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes, including advanced medical equipment and training of healthcare professionals. Hospitals are often the first choice for expectant mothers to seek treatment, especially in cases of complications, as hospitals are equipped with necessary and advanced neonatal and fetal care services and competent professionals.

Additionally, the increasing investments by various hospitals towards expanding NICUs is another major factor boosting the requirement for fetal and neonatal care equipment among hospitals. For instance, in February 2024, the Phoenix Children’s Hospital expanded its patient tower in the United States. As part of their new NICU facility, the extension is designed to provide medical care for various complex neonatal conditions. The USD 18.4 million project aims to enhance neonatal care. Investments toward the expansion of hospital facilities to accommodate neonatal and fetal care sections are propelling the requirement for necessary equipment and medical devices, positively influencing the market’s expansion.

North America Holds Major Market Share

The presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure, growing awareness about the importance of fetal and neonatal care, rising cases of hospital-acquired infections, and the strong presence of key market players and leading medical device companies are some of the major factors supporting the growth of the North American fetal and neonatal care market. These factors also increase the accessibility of novel medical technologies in various countries in North America. For instance, in October 2023, the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) in Canada, acquired new ultrasound units powered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology capable of generating accurate and clear images, allowing the early diagnosis of abnormalities earlier in pregnancies. The 4D and 3D capabilities of the machines allow them to increase exam speed, support efficient fetal measurement, and automatically identify fetal anatomy. Such additions are made possible by donations from various government and non-government organizations. The introduction of 12 new ultrasound machines at the LHSC was made possible by donating USD 1.3 million from the London Health Sciences Foundation (LHSF).

Furthermore, the rising cases of preterm births are also propelling the demand for fetal and neonatal care equipment in the region. According to estimates from Statistics Canada, the rate of premature births increased to 8.3% in 2023.
