Intrapartum monitoring devices are fetal monitoring devices used for keeping a check on the uterine activity and the heart rate patterns of the fetus during an ongoing labor. Implementation of intrapartum monitoring device reduces the risks and complications to a certain extent during childbirth. These risks include cerebral palsy, brain damage, newborn seizures leading to fetal death during childbirth. These devices help in determining the health condition and several avoidable adverse effects related to childbirth and pregnancy such as acquired infections, hypertension and heavy bleeding. The developments in the field of intrapartum monitoring devices have a significant impact on maternal care, and fetal progression and health monitoring. Intensive fetal monitoring using these devices with the help of fetal EKG leads and intrauterine pressure sensing transducers, increase fetal care significantly. Furthermore, fetal monitoring data when used in integration with other monitor aids such as scalp pH increases the interoperability and importance in decision making processes, making them clinical in simple and complicated labor situations.
The growth of the intrapartum monitoring devices market is driven by increase in government & non-government initiatives for maternal & fetal health across the world, rise in awareness and willingness to invest in development of fetal monitoring and increase in number of multiple pregnancy, and premature delivery cases. Moreover, rise in high birth rate in developing and developed countries, increase in prevalence of premature births resulting into various complications related to child birth, and fatalities involving preterm births are expected to notably contribute toward the market growth. For instance, according to the data by Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, in 2021, the preterm birth affected about 1 of every 10 infants born in the U.S. The preterm birth rate rose 4% in 2021, from 10.1% in 2020 to 10.5% in 2021. The rate of preterm birth among African-American women (14.8%) was about 50% higher than the rate of preterm birth among white or Hispanic women. Prominent players in the global intrapartum monitoring devices market have opted various Strategies such as product launches, acquisition, and investments in R&D for advancement in intrapartum monitoring devices to strengthen their position in the market and sustain the competitive environment.
However, dearth of highly skilled professionals, high cost of equipment, lack of intervening guidelines, technological limitations for the monitoring devices restrict the market growth. Conversely, the emergence of portable & wireless technologies and untapped emerging economies are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market in near future. Extensive R&D activities in the field of medical devices along with significant improvement in medical infrastructure are anticipated to open new avenues for the expansion of the market.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, 'Intrapartum Monitoring Devices Market,' the intrapartum monitoring devices market was valued at $826.00 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $1,624.43 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7% from 2022 to 2031.The normal human labor is characterized by regular uterine contractions, which cause repeated transient interruptions of fetal oxygenation. The rationale for intrapartum monitoring is that identification of fetal heart rate changes that are potentially associated with inadequate fetal oxygenation, such as changes in baseline rate, frequent decelerations, and minimal variability, may enable timely intervention to reduce the likelihood of hypoxic injury or death.
Key factors driving the growth of the intrapartum monitoring devices market include demand for maternal and fetal care devices, rise in focus on maternal health, increase in affordability in intrapartum care facilities and ease of access, increase in incidences of preterm births and infant mortality, increase in concerns of improved maternity care, rise in need for internal monitoring, which is expected to notably contribute toward the market growth. For instance, according to the data by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2021, preterm birth affected about 1 of every 10 infants born in the U.S. Moreover, the rate of preterm birth among African-American women (14.8%) was about 50% higher than the rate of preterm birth among white or Hispanic women which was 9.5% and 10.2% respectively.
