The global fetal monitoring market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market include the significant rise in preterm births and birth rates and emerging demand for portable fetal monitoring systems. As per the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm (before 37 completed weeks of gestation), and this number is growing. Nearly 1 million children die annually due to preterm birth complications. Preterm birth is the major cause of death in children under the age of 5 years. Over 60% of these births reported in South Asia and Africa. This growing concern of preterm births resulting in the demand for fetal monitoring systems.

The preterm fetus is highly susceptible as compared to full-term babies which leads the risk of intrapartum hypoxia-acidosis. Therefore, fetal heart rate monitoring system is used for the surveillance of fetal hypoxia in labor. The fetal heart rate can be monitored with the use of either a continuous electronic recording or intermittent auscultation. Continuous electronic recording can be performed with the use of a fetal scalp electrode or an external ultrasound transducer, placed on the mother's abdomen to check the fetal heart rate.  These electronic methods results are shown as a cardiotocograph (CTG) trace. The tocograph is a simultaneous uterine contraction recording, and thereby CTG trace offers a visual continuous record of uterine contractions and fetal heart rate. Certain features represent a severe emergency, including the development of persistent bradycardia following placental abruption or cord prolapse. Therefore, significant incidences of pre-term birth rates are leading to an increasing adoption of fetal monitoring systems in hospitals and diagnostic centers to help clinicians assess the well-being of the fetal earlier.

Segmentation

The global fetal monitoring market is segmented based on the type, application, and end-user.  Based on type, the market is classified into external fetal monitoring, electronic fetal monitoring, and internal fetal monitoring. Based on application, the market is classified into antepartum fetal monitoring and intrapartum fetal monitoring. Based on end-user, the market is segmented into diagnostic laboratories, hospitals & clinics, and others. 

External fetal monitoring has witnessed a significant share in the type segment

Significant use of ultrasound systems to produce images of the fetus in the uterus. This allows the health care provider to determine that the baby is growing at a normal rate. It can be applied to monitor the baby's heart rate, movement, and breathing. A portable electronic Doppler ultrasound device is normally utilized while prenatal visits for investigating the fetal heart rate. This has emerged as a routinely used tool for low-risk pregnancies. Therefore, it is being significantly used among end-users to detect any problem related to pregnancy. During the process, an ultrasound transducer positioned on the mother's abdomen that enables to conduct the sounds of the fetal heart to a computer. The fetal heart rate and patterns are shown on the computer screen. The monitoring of fetal heart rate is primarily useful for high-risk pregnancy conditions, including problems with fetal growth, diabetes, and high blood pressure. This, in turn, offers physicians to observe the amniotic fluid and baby's breathing movements, heart rate, and motions.

Regional Outlook

Geographically, the global fetal monitoring market is segmented based on four major regions, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW. North America has witnessed potential growth in the market in 2018 owing to the increasing concerns of preterm births in the region coupled with the significant awareness about the importance of fetal monitoring in the region. For instance, as per the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), in 2018, preterm birth affected 1 of every 10 infants born in the US. In 2017, preterm birth and low birth weight results in nearly 17% of infant deaths in the US. This, in turn, leads the demand for fetal monitoring systems in the region, to monitor the fetus in labor to detect several problems, including intrapartum hypoxia.

Market Players Outlook

The major players in the market include General Electric Co., Koninklijke Philips N.V., Siemens AG, Canon Medical Systems Corp., and PeriGen, Inc. Mergers and acquisitions, partnerships and collaborations and product launches are some crucial strategies adopted by the market players to expand market share and gain a competitive advantage over their competitors. For instance, in June 2019, Clinical Computer Systems, Inc. signed an agreement with Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd., for selling a new OBIX BeCA Fetal Monitor. This system has a pending FDA clearance, in the US.  Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd. is established in the US with their handheld Dopplers, which encouraged Clinical Computer Systems, Inc. to opt the company as its partner for expanding reach into the hospital. By the combination of breakthrough perinatal software of Clinical Computer Systems, Inc. with the technology and experience of Huntleigh, this novel fetal monitor will facilitate clinicians to offer the best obstetric care.

The new fetal monitor consists of patented "Locate and Track" technology of Huntleigh's that facilitates to detect and keeps contact with the heartbeat of the fetal. This feature, along with high sensitivity ultrasound transducers, enables fetal monitoring in prenatal and labor settings for mothers with tough assessments, including elevated BMIs or early gestation. Apart from the fetal monitor, this agreement will support the introduction of a wireless transducer solution named OBIX Freedom, which can be utilized along with the OBIX BeCA fetal monitor. This wireless option will enable mothers freed from cables during resting in bed.
