Fetal and neonatal care equipment includes a variety of medical tools used to monitor, diagnose, treat, and support the health of fetuses and newborns. This equipment is critical throughout pregnancy, delivery, and the neonatal period, especially for premature infants or those with health complications.
The main categories of fetal and neonatal care equipment include fetal care equipment and neonatal care equipment. Fetal care equipment consists of devices used to monitor and manage fetal health during pregnancy by tracking development, identifying potential complications, assessing fetal well-being, and enabling timely medical intervention when required. These products are available as portable and non-portable systems and are used by end users such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, clinics, and others.
Tariffs are impacting the fetal and neonatal care equipment market by increasing the cost of imported medical devices, components, and sensors used in monitoring and respiratory support equipment. Segments like portable devices and advanced fetal monitoring systems are most affected, with Asia-Pacific regions such as China and India facing higher import duties. This has led to elevated production costs and potential delays in deployment. On the positive side, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, development of cost-effective alternatives, and greater investment in domestic production capabilities.
The fetal and neonatal care equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides fetal and neonatal care equipment market statistics, including fetal and neonatal care equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a fetal and neonatal care equipment market share, detailed fetal and neonatal care equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the fetal and neonatal care equipment industry. This fetal and neonatal 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 fetal and neonatal care equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.99 billion in 2025 to $9.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced fetal and neonatal equipment, reliance on traditional incubators and monitoring devices, growing neonatal care awareness, increasing hospital infrastructure, rising birth rates in emerging economies.
The fetal and neonatal care equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.79 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in portable and smart neonatal devices, expansion of prenatal and neonatal care services, increasing investment in NICUs, rising prevalence of premature births, integration of connected monitoring systems. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of advanced fetal monitoring systems, increasing use of portable neonatal care devices, growing demand for respiratory support equipment, expansion of phototherapy and feeding equipment applications, enhanced focus on neonatal transport and safety solutions.
The rising prevalence of premature births is increasingly supporting the expansion of the fetal and neonatal care equipment market going forward. Premature birth refers to the delivery of an infant before 37 completed weeks of gestation. The growing prevalence of premature births is influenced by advanced maternal age and chronic maternal health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and infections, which elevate the risk of preterm labor. Fetal and neonatal care equipment enhances outcomes for premature infants by enabling healthcare providers to closely monitor vital signs, deliver essential treatments, and ensure safety in neonatal intensive care settings. For example, in January 2025, according to the Government response to the House of Lords inquiry into preterm birth, a UK-based legislative body, 8.1% of all births in 2023 occurred preterm, between 24 and 36 completed weeks of gestation. As a result, the rising prevalence of premature births is reinforcing expansion across the fetal and neonatal care equipment market.
Leading companies operating in the fetal and neonatal care equipment market are focusing on developing technologically advanced solutions, such as wireless maternal and fetal monitoring systems, to support preterm and high-risk pregnancies. Wireless monitoring systems provide noninvasive measurement of fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine activity. For example, in February 2024, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc., a US-based medical technology company, received FDA 510(k) clearance for the Novii+ Wireless Patch Solution. This system enables monitoring of maternal and fetal health starting at 34 weeks of gestation and features a belt-free wireless patch that allows greater mobility during labor while improving patient comfort.
In May 2024, Samsung Medison, a South Korea-based medical equipment company, acquired Sonio SAS for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to combine Sonio's advanced AI capabilities with Samsung Medison's ultrasound systems to advance prenatal care innovation and improve patient outcomes worldwide. Sonio SAS is a France-based technology company specializing in AI-driven ultrasound solutions.
