Pediatric Software Global Market Report 2024

The pediatric software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.27 billion in 2023 to $31.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the early adoption of technology in healthcare, reaching regulatory milestones, a shift towards electronic health records (EHR), an early focus on pediatric wellness, and the recognition of the specific mental health needs in the pediatric population.

The pediatric software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the adoption of value-based care models, the expansion of pediatric mental health services, an increased emphasis on preventive care, rising investments in pediatric healthcare, and a focus on interoperability standards. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period include the implementation of personalized healthcare solutions, the utilization of telehealth and remote monitoring, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, an emphasis on data security and privacy, and the adoption of mobile health (mHealth) solutions.

The pediatric software market is poised for growth due to the increasing adoption of electronic medical records. Electronic health records (EHR) serve as a computerized compilation of diverse medical records generated during clinical encounters. Particularly beneficial for pediatric care, EHRs enhance efficiency by reducing paperwork, improving the quality of care, and providing a digital record of a patient's medical history. As reflected in 2021 statistics from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, a majority of physicians in the United States, approximately 9 out of 10, had embraced electronic health records, with nearly 4 out of 5 utilizing certified EHRs. This substantial adoption of EHR is a driving force behind the increasing demand for pediatric software.

The pediatric software market is expected to witness growth fueled by the rising birth rate. Birth rate, denoting the number of live births per 1,000 people over a specific period, plays a crucial role in monitoring neonatal care and improving population health outcomes. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in May 2022 highlighted a 1% increase in U.S. births compared to 2020, totaling 3,659,289 births in 2021. The overall fertility rate also experienced a 1% rise, reaching 56.6 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44. This upward trend in birth rates contributes to the growth of the pediatric software market.

Leading companies in the pediatric software market are prioritizing the development of innovative software solutions, such as digital care coordination software, designed for pediatric retinal screening. Digital care coordination software streamlines healthcare service coordination, scheduling, documentation, billing, and transfer processes. For instance, NeoLight, a U.S.-based medical device company, introduced ROPCheck.com in November 2022, strengthening its position in pediatric ophthalmology with risk management software for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This digital care coordination platform facilitates seamless coordination across neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), specialists, and caregivers, enhancing the detection and monitoring of ROP.

Innovative digital interfaces, such as pediatric wellness dashboards, are a focus for major companies in the pediatric software market to improve parental monitoring. A pediatric wellness dashboard, typically in the form of an app or software, allows parents to monitor various aspects of their child's health. For example, Miku Care, a U.S.-based tech company, launched Care+, a pediatric wellness dashboard accompanying the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor. Care+ provides trend notifications, breathing and sleep trend analysis, expert articles, and a daily tracker, offering parents valuable insights into their child's well-being.

In June 2022, Oracle Corporation, a U.S.-based computer technology corporation, acquired Cerner Corporation for $28.3 billion.
