Global Fetal Monitoring Systems and Accessories Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global fetal monitoring systems and accessories market

Technavio’s market study identifies the increase in number of preterm births and stillbirths and government initiatives as one of the primary growth factors for the fetal monitoring systems and accessories market. With the rising number of women who smoke and the growth in number of women who suffer from obesity and various medical conditions such as diabetes and blood pressure, the recent years witnessed a rise in stillbirths and preterm births. According to the study conducted by the CDC, about 24,000 babies are stillborn in the US every year. Similarly, countries such as India are also witnessing a considerable number of still births. This will increase the demand for fetal heart monitors to monitor the fetal heartbeat and ensure sufficient oxygen supply to the baby, consequently improving both the fetal and maternal outcomes. Our market research analysts estimate that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR of almost 7% by 2021.

The large number of new entrants in the market and the rising competition will encourage the vendors to develop advanced and innovative fetal monitoring devices to remain competitive in the fetal heart monitor market. Monica healthcare has already developed Wireless Patch System specially designed for in-room labor and delivery settings and to provide an effective solution for monitoring high BMI patients. Similarly, Samsung has also developed improved ultrasound technologies such as 5D imaging and mobile 5D ultrasound. New players are entering the market equipped with advanced technologies and several clinics and research centers are focusing extensively on product development.
