Emergence of Covid-19 and High Prevalence of Congenital Heart Disease in Infants to Augment Growth of Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring Market

 


Fetal and neonatal monitoring is a technique of monitoring your newborn's heart and lungs before, during, and after he/she was born. Normally the mother passes all of her body functions to the baby via vaginal deliveries or breastfeeding. A monitor is inserted into the birth canal to detect any irregularities in breathing, heartbeat, or pumping. These monitors are also used in early detection of any problems associated with your unborn baby such as congenital heart disease, breathing difficulties, or infections.

Market Dynamics

High prevalence of congenital heart disease in infants is expected to propel growth of the fetal and neonatal monitoring market. For instance, according to the study, Prevalence, profile, and pattern of congenital heart disease in Central India: A prospective, observational study (published in May 2018), the prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) was 10.13/1000 live births. Moreover, emergence of Covid-19 is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in July 2020, Koninklijke Philips N.V. launched Avalon CL Fetal and Maternal Pod and Patch capable of providing “continuous non-invasive monitoring” of important vital signs such as maternal heart rate, fetal heart rate, and uterine activity.

High rate of maternal mortality in emerging economies is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the fetal and neonatal monitoring market. For instance, according to Maternal Mortality: 1990 to 2015 Estimates by WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, World Bank Group and the United Nations Population Division, Sub-Saharan Africa recorded the highest ratio or maternal mortality, at 555 per 100, 000 live births, from 1990 to 2015. Moreover, the United Nations is focused on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 2015 - 2030 global maternal mortality ratio target of less than 70 per 100 000 live births.

Among regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the fetal and neonatal monitoring market, owing to increasing preterm birth rate in the U.S. For instance, according to March of Dimes 2019 report card, the preterm birth rate in the U.S. reached 10.02% in 2018 from 9.63% in 2015.

Competitive Analysis

Major players operating in the fetal and neonatal monitoring market include, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Fujifilm SonoSite Inc., Medtronic Plc, Dragerwerk AG & Co. KGAA, Cooper Surgical, Getinge AB, MindChild Medical, Inc., Natus Medical Incorporated, GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare GmbH, ArjoHuntleigh, Inc., Neoventa Medical, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Analogic Corporation, Spacelabs Healthcare Inc., Smiths Medical, and Masimo.

Major players operating in the fetal and neonatal monitoring market are focused on adopting partnership strategies to enhance their market share. For instance, in April 2019, Henry Schein Medical, the U.S. Medical business of Henry Schein, Inc., and MindChild Medical, Inc. signed an exclusive distribution and supply agreement for the MERIDIAN M110 Fetal Monitoring System.

Treprostinil Drugs Market - High Prevalence of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and R&D of New Formulations of Treprostinil to Augment Growth of market

  Treprostinil is an antihypertensive agent used to treat patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. It can also be used in the treatment of Degos disease, an extremely rare disorder in which small and medium sized arteries become blocked (occlusive arteriopathy), restricting the flow of blood to affected areas.
