Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market

Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market Research, 2031

The global intrapartum monitoring devices market was valued at $826.00 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $1,624.43 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7% from 2022 to 2031. The intrapartum monitoring devices are used to record changes in the fetal heart rate (FHR) through Doppler ultrasound or direct fetal ECG measurement with a fetal scalp electrode, temporal relationship to myometrial activity and uterine contractions. The interpretation of the data collected depends on the relationship between the two traces. The significant application of the intrapartum monitoring devices is to identify babies that may be hypoxic. Hence, the additional assessments of fetal well-being may be made. Otherwise, the baby can be delivered by caesarean section or instrumental vaginal birth. The intrapartum monitoring by the external devices includes fastening of ultrasound probe (transducer) to the female belly. It sends the sounds of the baby’s heart to a computer. The rate and pattern of the baby’s heart rate are shown on a screen and printed on paper.

The COVID-19 pandemic witnessed a negative impact on the intrapartum monitoring devices industry, owing to the situation oft COVID-19 that did not allowed the people to travel to the hospital for any kind of less severe conditions treatment procedure to evaluate the health of the fetus and mother. Hence, the people in demand to get the intrapartum monitoring services, were made to wait or postpone the procedures. Instead, the patients were offered the option of at home monitoring in the developed regions which was lacking in the underdeveloped or developing countries.

Historical Overview

The market has been analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively from 2021 to 2031. The intrapartum monitoring devices market witnessed growth at a CAGR of around 7% from 2022 to 2031. Most of the growth during this period was from North America owing to the increase in the adoptions of intrapartum monitoring devices, rise in incidences of preterm births among population, as well as well-established presence of domestic market players in the region.

Market Dynamics

Growth & innovations in the medical devices industry for the adoption of intrapartum monitoring technology is driven by the massive pool of birth related conditions like preterm births drives the growth of Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market Size. The rise in the tendency of couples to conceive a child safely creates an opportunity for the Intrapartum Devices Industry. Moreover, rise in number of strategies like agreement by various key players across the globe is set to affect the growth Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market Size positively. For instance, in April 2019, Henry Schein Medical, announced the signing of an exclusive distribution and supply agreement for the MERIDIAN M110 Fetal Monitoring System. The MERIDIAN M110, currently available to Henry Schein customers, is an intrapartum fetal monitor that externally measures and displays fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR), and uterine contractions (UA). The growth of the intrapartum monitoring devices market is also expected to be driven by high potential in adoption of the technology in developing countries due to increase in the prevalence of birth disorders, increase in practice to monitor the fetal health, and surge in demand for intrapartum monitoring devices.

Furthermore, the healthcare industry in emerging economies is developing at a significant rate, owing to rise in demand for enhanced medical technologies, significant investments by government to improve fetal health monitoring, and strong foothold of biotechnological industries in emerging countries. In addition, the cost effectiveness of the intrapartum monitoring devices may also decide the demand for adoption of the devices. It is because increased cost of the devices makes it unaffordable for the facilities or hospitals that generate low revenue for the adoption of healthcare devices. Hence, the cost effectiveness factor for the intrapartum monitoring devices is attributed to further support the market growth. The demand for intrapartum monitoring devices is not only limited to developed countries but is also being witnessed in the developing countries, such as China, Brazil, and India, which fuel the Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market Growth.

Factors such as rise in the adoption of fetal monitoring devices for the safety measurement among couples for their child and an increase in awareness toward birth disease risks further drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, a rise in consumer awareness related to preventive healthcare of newborns boosts the adoption of intrapartum monitoring devices. Moreover, an increase in research activities by manufacturers for developing innovative solutions in intrapartum monitoring device technology is expected to fuel their adoption in the near future.

However, the stringent regulations for the approval of intrapartum monitoring devices and problems regarding the lack of access of women to intrapartum care facilities in underdeveloped countries are hampering the market growth.
