Fetal and neonatal care equipment are medical devices used to monitor and support a baby's health before birth, during their first month. The demand for neonatal equipment is increasing due to high birth rates, and public and private organizations are making efforts to raise awareness about the equipment for newborns' health across rural and urban regions, ultimately increasing the sales of these 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 economic slowdown and reduced operations have resulted in 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 the shutdown of clinics and hospitals, and consequently, a decrease in the number of neonatal patient admissions.
However, as activities resumed, an increased demand for fetal and neonatal devices was observed, as it became convenient to use these devices at home, which drove market growth. The advancement in technologies to monitor maternal and fetal care, along with the development of lightweight and cost-efficient devices, is likely to complement 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.

Growth Drivers
The global fetal and neonatal care equipment is driven by the demand in the Asia Pacific owing to the increasing number of preterm births and unhealthy babies across many regions. The challenges due to genetic changes and changes in lifestyle result in unhealthy and underweight babies, which eventually raise the demand for fetal and neonatal care equipment.
Moreover, government initiatives and policies aimed at reducing the infant mortality rate are also contributing to market growth. Additionally, the increasing demand for high-performing equipment to monitor premature infants is a major factor driving market growth.
The market is primarily segmented based on product, end-use, and region.

The fetal care equipment segment accounted for the highest revenue share in 2024 owing to advancements in technology and increased awareness among individuals is driving the growth of the market. The sub-segment ultrasound devices have dominated and are expected to grow over the forecast period owing to the application of observing fetuses during stages of pregnancy. 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 dominated the market 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 witness the fastest growth during the foreacast period. 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 accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024, primarily due to the region's high preterm birth rate and the presence of excellent reimbursement structures, which drive market growth. Advanced products that enhance healthcare facilities and address lifestyle challenges are among the factors driving the segment's growth. This growth is further boosted by government funding and high spending, which enables the adoption of advances in technology. The presence of global medical device manufacturers boosts market demand with early adoption of AI monitoring devices. Awareness and demand for clinical standards create market consistency for premium care equipment. R&D efforts, combined with product launches in this region, expand the available treatment options.
The Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, driven by growing government initiatives and increasing 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. The growth is further boosted by the rise in healthcare expenditure and a rapid expansion in medical infrastructure, including new care units. The underserved population also presents opportunities for international companies to attract investments. Advances in care are making equipment more accessible for local manufacturers, allowing them to reduce costs. Furthermore, the growth in reducing mortality rates is driving investments in modern technologies by both the government and the private sector.
