Maternal infant care equipment encompasses a range of specialized medical devices designed to support the health and well-being of mothers and newborns during the prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal periods. These devices are essential for monitoring, diagnosing, and managing complications, ensuring safe delivery and optimal neonatal outcomes.
The primary product types of maternal infant care equipment include infant incubators, infant warmers, phototherapy equipment, suction devices, and breast pumps. Infant incubators are enclosed medical devices that provide a controlled and stable environment with optimal temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels to support the growth and development of premature or critically ill newborns. These devices are constructed from materials such as plastic, wood, fabric, metal, and organic materials. They are used in neonatal, maternal, and pediatric care and are distributed through online and offline channels, serving end users including hospitals, clinics, home care settings, and ambulatory surgical centers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
The maternal infant care equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides maternal infant care equipment market statistics, including maternal infant care equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a maternal infant care equipment market share, detailed maternal infant care equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the maternal infant care equipment industry. This maternal infant care equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The maternal infant care equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.84 billion in 2024 to $6.28 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing maternal age, rising awareness of neonatal health, higher hospital birth rates in developing countries, growing government investments in maternal health programs, and rising demand for home-based neonatal monitoring solutions.
The maternal infant care equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising incidence of fertility treatments and high-risk pregnancies, expansion of healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies, growing e-commerce and online distribution of medical devices, increasing rates of cesarean deliveries, and rising private sector investments in maternal and child health. Key trends expected during the forecast period include advancements in phototherapy and incubator technologies, integration of remote patient monitoring and telehealth solutions, development of technology-driven fetal and maternal monitoring systems, upgrades in smart breast pumps and feeding devices, and innovations in portable and home-based maternal care equipment.
The rising number of preterm births is expected to drive the growth of the maternal infant care equipment market going forward. Preterm births refer to the delivery of a baby before 37 completed weeks of gestation, resulting in shorter-than-normal pregnancies. The incidence of preterm births is increasing due to rising maternal age, as older mothers face higher risks of pregnancy complications that can lead to early delivery. Maternal infant care equipment supports preterm infants by providing advanced monitoring, respiratory support, and thermal regulation, improving survival rates and health outcomes. For instance, in March 2025, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based government agency, singleton preterm births in 2023 accounted for 8.71%, slightly up from 8.67% in 2022. Therefore, the growing number of preterm births is propelling the maternal infant care equipment market.
Rising healthcare expenditures are also expected to drive the growth of the maternal-infant care equipment market. Healthcare expenditures encompass spending on hospital care, physician services, prescription drugs, and preventive care by individuals, governments, and organizations. These expenditures are increasing due to the aging population, as older individuals require more frequent and complex medical care, boosting demand for healthcare services and resources. Higher healthcare spending enables greater investment in advanced maternal and neonatal care technologies. For instance, in June 2025, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a US-based federal agency, hospital expenditures in 2023 rose by 10.4% to \$1,519.7 billion, accelerating significantly compared to the 3.2% growth seen in 2022. Therefore, rising healthcare expenditures are supporting the expansion of the maternal-infant care equipment market.
Companies in the maternal infant care equipment market are also focusing on technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence-enabled ultrasound systems, to improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline workflows, and enable faster clinical decision-making in maternal and neonatal care. AI-enabled ultrasound systems are medical imaging devices that use AI algorithms to automate image analysis, enhance clarity, and support clinical evaluation. For instance, in April 2024, GE Healthcare Technologies Inc., a US-based medical technology company, launched the Voluson Signature 20 and 18 ultrasound systems for women's health imaging. These systems use AI to improve image quality, automate routine tasks, and provide tools like sonolyst and sonobiometry to aid decision-making. With ergonomic designs, customizable settings, advanced reporting, and enhanced connectivity, these innovations enable efficient assessment and monitoring of maternal and fetal health, particularly in high-risk pregnancies.
