An obstetrics device refers to a specialized medical tool or equipment designed to aid in monitoring, diagnosing, and supporting the well-being of pregnant women and their unborn babies. The primary objective of these devices is to promote a safe pregnancy and childbirth experience by providing accurate health data for both the fetus and the mother.
Obstetrics devices are mainly categorized into monitoring devices, surgical instruments, diagnostic devices, and catheters. Monitoring devices in obstetrics are used to continuously or intermittently assess the health conditions of the mother and fetus throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery. These devices utilize various technologies such as digital monitoring, ultrasound imaging, and wireless communication. They are employed in applications including pregnancy monitoring, labor and delivery, cesarean procedures, neonatal care, and reproductive health. The primary end users of these devices include hospitals, clinics, birthing centers, and ambulatory surgical centers.
Tariffs are impacting the obstetrics device market by increasing the cost of imported medical instruments, ultrasound machines, and digital monitoring systems. Segments such as advanced fetal monitors, ultrasound imaging devices, and catheters are most impacted, with Asia-Pacific regions like China and India experiencing significant import duties. While tariffs have led to higher production costs and supply chain adjustments, they have also encouraged local manufacturing, innovation in medical technologies, and investment in domestic production capacities, providing long-term market benefits.
The obstetrics device market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides obstetrics device market statistics, including obstetrics device industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a obstetrics device market share, detailed obstetrics device market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the obstetrics device industry. This obstetrics device 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 obstetrics device market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.48 billion in 2025 to $4.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced fetal monitoring devices, reliance on conventional surgical instruments, growing hospital maternity wards, increasing awareness of maternal health, adoption of basic ultrasound technologies.
The obstetrics device market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of wireless and digital monitoring devices, expansion of cesarean and labor care procedures, rising investment in obstetric diagnostic equipment, integration of ai and cloud-based healthcare solutions, adoption of smart catheters and minimally invasive instruments. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of wireless and remote monitoring devices, growth in minimally invasive obstetric surgeries, rising demand for advanced ultrasound and imaging systems, enhanced focus on maternal and neonatal safety standards, integration of smart catheters and diagnostic devices.
The growing emphasis on maternal health is expected to drive the expansion of the obstetrics device market in the coming years. Maternal health encompasses the well-being of women throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This rising focus is attributed to increased awareness and global efforts by governments and organizations to reduce maternal mortality and enhance pregnancy outcomes. Obstetrics devices contribute to maternal health by offering accurate monitoring and diagnostic tools, which help in the early detection of complications and promote safer pregnancies. These devices aid in improved clinical decision-making and better outcomes for both mothers and infants. For example, in April 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a U.S.-based government agency, reported that the number of births in 2024 reached 3,622,673, reflecting a 1% increase from 3,591,328 in 2023. As a result, the rising focus on maternal health is propelling the growth of the obstetrics device market.
Companies in the obstetrics device market are increasingly developing technologically advanced products, such as high-end ultrasound systems, to enhance diagnostic accuracy and streamline workflows in obstetric and cardiovascular care. A premium ultrasound system is a sophisticated imaging tool that offers superior image quality and state-of-the-art technology for precise evaluations. For instance, in September 2024, Samsung Medison Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based medical device company, introduced the HERA Z20, a premium ultrasound system for obstetrics and gynecology. The HERA Z20 is equipped with advanced imaging capabilities that provide exceptional clarity and accuracy, improved diagnostic features tailored to women's health, and an intuitive interface that boosts workflow efficiency. It also incorporates artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools to assist clinicians in making faster, more accurate decisions, setting a new benchmark in ultrasound systems for obstetrics and gynecology.
In September 2024, Samsung Medison Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based medical device manufacturer, acquired Sonio SAS for $92.4 million (€86 million). This acquisition aims to strengthen Samsung Medison's maternal-fetal ultrasound offerings by integrating Sonio's AI-powered decision-support software, which enhances prenatal ultrasound operations and improves the identification of abnormalities. Sonio SAS is a France-based medical technology company specializing in obstetrics devices.
