The demand for neonatal equipment is increasing at high birth rates, and public and private organizations making efforts to spread awareness about the equipment for newborns' health across rural and urban regions is the major factor driving the growth of the market, which eventually increases the sales of the devices. Furthermore, the growing rates of hospital-acquired infections in neonates and the availability of many NICUs across rural and urban areas focusing on maternal and child health are expected to have a positive impact on the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the growth of the fetal and neonatal care equipment market. The economic slowdown and negligible operations have reported a sharp decline in neonatal and fetal devices. Moreover, due to the rise, the infection led to fear among hospitals and infant care centers of spreading the infection, which resulted in shutting down clinics and hospitals, which resulted in few admissions of neonatal patients.
However, as the activities resumed, the increased demand for fetal and neonatal devices was observed as it was convenient to use the devices in the home, which drove the market growth. The advancement in technologies to monitor maternal and fetal care and the development of devices that are lightweight and cost-efficient are likely to complement the market growth over the forecast period. In addition, the growing number of premature births with low birth weight and low immunity has created a lucrative opportunity to develop new innovative devices which will support the market growth over the forecast period.

In addition, advanced devices such as portable ultrasound devices could be operated in-house, which is increasing the demand for the equipment segment.
Neonatal care equipment is also expected to grow over the forecast period owing to ease of availability and the convenience with which it could be used at home. Moreover, the respiratory devices segment is expected to grow and would continue to dominate the market as rising respiratory problems among infants. Demand for neonatal ventilators is growing to shorten hospital stays and reduce the risk of long-term disability, which is expected to grow over the forecast period.
The hospital segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of fetal and neonatal care equipment across developed and developing countries. The advancement in technologies and availability of professionals to improve patient care are driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, increasing numbers of NICUs in hospitals and rising number of patients are boosting the growth of this segment.
Clinics are expected to be one of the other significant segments of the fetal and neonatal care equipment market, which is anticipated to grow in the market. The rising demand for clinics across developing countries such as India, China, and Nigeria owing to rapid diagnosis and effective care through specialized care and specialty clinics is accelerating the demand. Moreover, the demand for clinics usually rises as bigger facilities are not available to meet the needs of the consumer, which is one of the factors to drive the market growth.
North America is the largest region for fetal and neonatal care equipment. It is expected to witness faster growth over the forecast period owing to the majority of the region having a high preterm birth rate along with the presence of excellent reimbursement structures, which drives the growth of the market. Moreover, advanced products which ensure improved healthcare facilities and lifestyle challenges are some of the factors that support the growth of the segment.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the second largest region for fetal and neonatal care equipment on account of the growing initiatives taken by the government and awareness about newborn health and care. Furthermore, increasing birth rates among developing countries and the manufacturing of many fetal and neonatal equipment across the regions, including incubators, infant warmers, and ultrasound systems, are expected to boost the segment.
