Published: September 2011
Price: $ 4650
A ‘preterm’ birth refers to delivery prior to 37 weeks of gestation or 259 days. This
generally occurs due to poor prenatal care, high maternal age, induced fertility, labor
treatments, and lifestyle choices such as obesity and smoking. Preterm infants usually
weigh less than 2.5 Kg; and need external medical assistance for survival, often for the
whole year. The health complications of preterm infants include inability with regards to
breathing, breastfeeding, and maintenance of optimum body temperature. The neonates
are also more prone to jaundice, anemia, and other chronic diseases. The worldwide
incidence of preterm births is approximately 9.6%. Its global distribution is uneven, with
almost 85% of preterm births occurring in Africa and Asia as a result of substantially larger
number of deliveries and higher fertility levels in these regions as compared to the other
parts of the world.
This report studies the global fetal and neonatal care market divided into global NICU
equipment market, global labor and delivery equipment market, and global other labor
& delivery equipment & NICU equipment market over the forecasted period (2011-2016).
The global NICU equipment market was worth $1.4 billion in 2011; growing at a steady
pace of 6.4% CAGR to reach $1.9 billion in 2016. The global labor and delivery equipment
market that primarily consists of fetal monitors is valued at $612 million in 2011; growing
at a sluggish rate of 5.9% to reach $797 million in 2016. The global other labor & delivery
equipment & NICU equipment market that mainly consists of respiratory assistance
devices, monitoring equipment, and delivery systems is worth over $2.2 billion in 2011;
growing at a CAGR of 6.4% to reach $3.2 billion in 2016.
Players are implementing various growth strategies in the market to gain competitive
edge. New product launches, agreements and collaborations, partnerships, joint ventures,
mergers and acquisitions were certain strategies adopted by the players between January
2008 and June 2011. Our research indicates that new product launches form a major
growth strategy in the global fetal and neonatal care market; accounting for a 44% of its
share.
The global fetal and neonatal care equipment market is highly dynamic and growing due to
continuous R&D activity. With the increasing need for wireless technology and varying
customer requirements, the companies are focusing on continuous development and
keeping an eye on innovation of products by releasing upgraded and improved versions of
devices into the market to accurately monitor the neonates, thereby increasing the
survival rates.
The other major growth strategy adopted by the players is agreements and collaborations

2. with a share of 36%. Distribution agreements for business expansion into different
geographies are also prevalent in the industry. Healthcare service provider companies also
entered into agreements with device manufacturing companies so as to improve patient
care, delivery care, and quick identification of risks.
