It is expected that the emergence of telehealth platforms focused on the needs of neonatal population will be one of the factors boosting the market development. More and more hospitals and clinics use these tools in order to solve the problem of access to healthcare for newborns and other patients.
   

Neonatal Infant Care Market Analysis

Based on product type, the market is classified into thermoregulation devices, phototherapy devices, monitoring systems, neonatal infant resuscitator devices, neonatal hearing screening, vision screening, and other product types. The thermoregulation devices segment generated the highest revenue of USD 859 million in 2024.
 

• Thermoregulation equipment comprises a large share of the market owing to the fact that they assist to moderate the body temperature of preterm and low weight infants who may be unable to heat their body themselves. As newborns leave the mother’s womb, especially for low-birth-weight and pre-term babies, it is essential to ensure retention of the adequate body temperature as they don’t have the ability to maintain it. Incubators, radiant warmers, and warming mattresses can deliver consistent heat, which minimizes the chances of hypothermia. Such a growth is expected as the rate of premature childbirths increases in the world because of the constant growth in the demand for these devices, which makes this type of product the key representative of the neonatal care range.
   
• In addition thermoregulation technologies are constantly improving and this stimulates their growth. They’ve included other features such as adjustable settings, diverse monitoring systems, and automated heating in newer models to ensure optimal care delivery to a baby. Such changes have led to a rise in the estimation of the usage of thermoregulation devices in Neonatal Intensive Care Units NNICUs) Capacity. These innovations enable the delivery of a higher level of precision and efficiency making for improved patient outcomes. So, when the standard of care for the neonatal infant continues to improve, so does the use of thermoregulation devices for management of infant care, which makes their share very stable.

Based on end use, the neonatal infant care market is segmented into hospitals, pediatric & neonatal clinics, and nursing homes. The hospital segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 2.5 billion by the end of the forecast period.
 

• The market for neonatal and infant care is dominated by hospitals as the demand for innovative technologies is high. Most advanced medical facilities aim at providing care for premature babies and children with health difficulties undergoing recovery in a neonatal intensive care unit.
