Analysts’ Viewpoint
Neonatal ventilators are used in neonatal intensive care units during conditions such as respiratory failure and increased respiratory rate. Growth in incidence of respiratory disorders in newborns is driving the global neonatal ventilators and incubators market. Innovation in products by various organizations is another key factor expected to boost market expansion during the forecast period. Government initiatives to improve healthcare infrastructure in developing countries and increase in healthcare expenditure are also likely to accelerate market progress.
Technological advancements in neonatal ventilators and increase in awareness about neonatal care are creating lucrative opportunities for manufacturers. Key companies are focusing on mergers & acquisitions to develop new products and expand their product lines.
Neonatal ventilator is a medical device used to assist or completely control a newborn's breathing. It is primarily used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a hospital to help premature or critically ill newborns breathe. The ventilator delivers a mixture of oxygen and air to the baby's lungs and can also provide pressure support to help the baby's lungs expand and contract. The device settings can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the baby, and its breathing can be closely monitored to ensure appropriate level of support.
NICUs have neonatal transport incubators, which are specialized medical equipment used to transport newborn infants, particularly those who are premature or critically ill, from one location to another.
Different types of neonatal ventilators are available in the market. Volume-controlled ventilators deliver a preset volume of air per breath. Pressure-controlled ventilators provide a preset pressure of air per breath. Time-cycled ventilators deliver a preset volume of air over a preset time period. Flow-cycled ventilators provide a preset flow of air until a preset volume of air has been delivered. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilators deliver continuous flow of air at a preset pressure to help keep the baby's airway open. High-frequency oscillatory ventilators (HFOV) use high-frequency oscillations to provide small volume of air at high rates, which could help prevent lung injury in premature babies. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) ventilators provide a combination of mandatory breath and spontaneous breath, allowing the baby to breathe on its own while providing support when needed. The type of ventilator used depends on the baby's specific needs and the doctor's recommendation.
Premature birth is defined as the birth of a baby before 37 weeks of gestation. It is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with premature infants at increased risk of health issues, such as respiratory distress syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, and developmental delays. Maternal health conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, and environmental factors such as exposure to certain toxins or infections are key factors that contribute to premature birth.
Premature infants often require specialized care, such as neonatal intensive care and mechanical ventilation, to help them survive and thrive. They are also at increased risk of long-term health issues such as cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, and vision & hearing loss.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 15 million babies are born preterm, i.e. before 37 completed weeks of gestation. The rate of preterm birth ranges from 5% to 18% of babies across various countries. Thus, rise in premature birth is likely to drive the demand for neonatal ventilators.
Neonatal asphyxia is a condition caused by lack of oxygen to the brain and other organs during delivery. This could happen due to various factors, including problems with the placenta or umbilical cord, a prolonged or difficult labor, or a baby that is too large to fit through the birth canal.
Symptoms of neonatal asphyxia include poor muscle tone, low Apgar score (a quick assessment of a baby's overall health at birth), cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes), seizures, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, neonatal asphyxia could lead to brain damage and even death.
Treatment for neonatal asphyxia depends on the severity of the condition and the underlying cause. In some cases, the baby may need to be transferred to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for observation and treatment. Oxygen could be administered to help the baby breathe and in some cases mechanical ventilation or ECMO may be used.
Good prenatal care, early detection of high-risk pregnancies, and proper monitoring during labor & delivery could help reduce the risk of neonatal asphyxia.
In terms of type, the neonatal incubators segment dominated the global neonatal ventilators and incubators market in 2021. Neonatal incubators are specialized medical devices that provide a controlled environment for newborns who are premature or have medical conditions that make them more susceptible to infection or other complications. These devices help maintain consistent and appropriate temperature for the baby and control the humidity level inside the unit. Incubators are portable, which allows the baby to be transported to different locations.
Based on end-user, the global market has been segregated into hospitals, pediatric & neonatal intensive care units, and others. The hospitals segment accounted for major share in 2021. Demand for neonatal ventilators is high in hospitals compared to specialty clinics and ambulatory surgical centers.
North America accounted for largest global neonatal ventilators and incubators market share in 2021. The market in the region is likely to expand at a high CAGR from 2022 to 2031, owing to high rate of adoption of neonatal ventilators. According to the Seattle Children’s Hospital, asphyxia in neonates occurs in about four out of every 1,000 full-term live births in the U.S.
The market in Asia Pacific is likely to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to high rate of adoption of neonatal ventilators in the region. Rise in awareness & acceptance of neonatal ventilators and support from governing authorities make the region a highly lucrative market.
The global neonatal ventilators and incubators market is fragmented, with the presence of large number of local as well as international players. Expansion of product portfolio and mergers & acquisitions are the key strategies adopted by the leading players.
