The Global Fetal Monitoring Market Size is expected to reach USD 7.75 Billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period 2023 to 2032.

 

Market Overview

Fetal monitoring is a crucial aspect of prenatal care that involves the continuous observation and assessment of a developing baby's well-being during pregnancy and childbirth. This monitoring process aims to ensure the health and safety of both the fetus and the expectant mother. Various methods are employed for fetal monitoring, with the two primary approaches being external and internal monitoring. External monitoring involves the use of devices like ultrasound and Doppler technology to track the baby's heart rate and assess uterine contractions. Internal monitoring, on the other hand, involves placing a small electrode on the baby's scalp or a catheter in the uterus to directly measure the fetal heart rate and evaluate contractions more accurately. Fetal monitoring provides valuable information to healthcare professionals, enabling them to detect and address any potential signs of distress or complications promptly.
