Intrapartum period is the time period from the onset of labor to the end of the third stage of labor. Intrapartum devices such as monitors are used at the time pregnancy, delivery and labor to record strength of the uterus contraction and heart rate of the fetus.
Global market of the intrapartum monitors is anticipated to grow by a of CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period 2016-2023. The trend affecting the intrapartum device market is the high use of the intrapartum monitors technology across the world. In intrapartum monitoring and management, devices used are fetal scalp electrode (FSE) and intrauterine pressure catheters (IUPC).IUPC is used to calculate the adequacy of the contradiction and when labor dystocia is concern Montevideo is frequently used. For the detailed visualization of pregnancy structure and of fetus in utero MRI system is highly used. MRI is owed to the use of the fast sequence as it is an interactive scanning system. In conclusion it is said that in the coming years there will sharp increase in the market due to increase in the use of the Intrapartum technology such as ultrasonic device, MRI fetal system, fetal pulse oximeter etc. MRI is owed to the use of the fast sequence as it is an interactive scanning system. In conclusion it is said that in the coming years there will sharp increase in the market due to increase in the use of the Intrapartum technology such as ultrasonic device, MRI fetal system, fetal pulse oximeter etc The global intrapartum device market is primarily driven by following factors:
- Increase rate of birth and preterm birth
- Rising government and non-government initiatives
- Technological Advancement
- Increasing Company Investment
Key driver of the market are increasing rate of the birth and preterm birth. According to the world health organization statistics every year 15 million baby are born preterm that is before completing the gestation period of 37 weeks and the number is raising. This has become leading cause of the death of the children under 5 years. The preterm birth was cause of the 1 million deaths in 2015. According to the world health organization rate of preterm birth ranges from 5% to 18% across the 184 countries. When the baby is born before 37 weeks it is called preterm birth. The preterm has sub categories which is based on the gestational period age they are following, if birth is between the moderate to late that is( 32 to 37 weeks), very preterm (28 to 32 weeks), extremely preterm (less than 28 weeks). There has been rise in the death of the babies across the world which has raise the alarm to control this deaths. As WHO has determine the rate of the death of the babies which it has defined under the categories according to the number of weeks after in which baby was born. Government has taken the initiatives to control the preterm death. This will increase the market as large number of the equipment will be purchased by the government. Other than this developing countries will be large market as the medical system is been upgraded in the stage of the development. Apart from this high cost of the equipment and the stringent rules and regulation major factors hindering the global intrapartum device market. However the demand of portable and wireless product and growth through emerging market are creating an opportunity for intrapartum device market. Along with this high cost of equipment is one of the major challenge.

- Europe (UK, France, Germany, RoE)
- Rest of World
North America is anticipated to accounts the largest market share fastest growing region from 2016 to 2023, due to high awareness, dynamic lifestyle, rising obesity patients and delayed pregnancy. On the other hand, the. Asia-Pacific market is anticipated to the fastest-growing region for the intrapartum device market and also is anticipated to witness significant growth. This region has some advantages through some other Asian countries such as India, China and Japan, which leads to the growth of the intrapartum device market such as high cases of premmies birth, increasing spending in healthcare segment, access to healthcare services, establishment of new diagnostic centers and improvement in healthcare infrastructure.
Segmentation of the intrapartum market is done on the basis type and equipment. Sub segment of the type is ultra sound device, fetal Dopplers, Fetal MRI system, fetal monitors, fetal pulse oximeters. Segmentation on the basis of the equipment are infant warmers, incubators, convertible warmers and incubators, phototherapy equipment, respiratory device neonatal monitoring. Fetal Doppler are made up of ultrasound scan which used to assess the health of the baby such as brain, heart and umbilical cord.It helps to check weather child is getting proper nutrient and oxygen. A Doppler is used as normal ultrasound system, it is easy to use as it can be operated by the practitioner also. Sound waves comes out the transducer, this sound waves bounce back to through blood circulation system and via the cord of the baby. By this an image is created on the screen which shows how the internal system which is blood system, cord is working. Doctors refers dopplar scan when there are twins or more, when baby is affected with slap cheeked syndrome, when rhesus antibodies has affected the baby, baby is not growing healthy, recently has miscarriage, rate of growing of the baby is very low, there has been some medical condition with the mother such as high blood pressure and diabetes. If mother smoke or have low and high BMI.
