Much research has shown that there is an increase in preterm births mainly owing to hypertension, prolonged pre-labor rupture of membranes, and antepartum hemorrhage due to which fetal monitoring is vital. Problems like multiple gestations, short cervixes, UTI, and placenta previa are also leading to preterm birth, making fetal monitoring significant during pregnancies. According to WHO, almost 15 million preterm births happen each year, and nearly 1 million babies die every year after birth. Furthermore, preterm birth can also happen due to many neurological or physical disabilities, making fetal monitoring extremely important.  

Growing Preference for Portable and Non-Invasive Products: The prominent players in the market are now offering high spectrum, reliable and cost-effective portable and wireless monitoring systems. For instance, in November 2021, the Shantou Institute of Ultrasonic Instruments Co., Ltd. (China) introduced the Apogee 6 series colour doppler ultrasound imaging solutions. The Apogee 6200, Apogee 6300 and Apogee 6500 colour Doppler ultrasound systems presented are designed for cardiac, abdomen, vascular, musculoskeletal, urology, and OB/GYN clinical applications. 

North America is leading with the largest fetal monitoring market share. This is the result of growing technological advancements and a focus on maternal health. The development of advanced monitoring equipment, including non-invasive and wearable devices that provide greater accuracy and real-time data analysis, is expected to boom in the region. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being included in monitors to help provide predictive analytics and the early detection of potential complications to enable enhanced clinical outcomes and patient care. It should drive the growth of the region during the forecast period. The prominent players included in the North America region are GE Healthcare, The Cooper Companies Inc. and Kononklijke Philips NV.
