Baby Thermometers Market Report 2024

The baby thermometers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $10.98 billion in 2023 to $12.2 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, heightened focus on health and hygiene, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, increased penetration of baby care products, diversification and expansion of retail channels, concerns about infectious diseases, and supportive regulatory frameworks and standards for baby care products.

The baby thermometers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to improvements in healthcare infrastructure, the increasing penetration of e-commerce platforms, rising birth rates among older parents, growth in telehealth and telemedicine services, and heightened concerns about product safety and accuracy. Major trends expected in the forecast period include innovations in thermometer technology, continuous product innovation, a growing preference for digital health products, integration of thermometers with remote monitoring technologies, and their integration with wearable technology.

The increasing birth rates are expected to drive growth in the baby thermometers market moving forward. Birth rates indicate the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population within a specific timeframe, typically a year. Rising birth rates are influenced by factors such as improved healthcare, which reduces infant mortality, cultural shifts favoring larger families, economic stability promoting family planning, and government policies supporting childbirth and family development. Baby thermometers are essential tools for monitoring newborns' temperatures to ensure stability and detect any signs of fever or illness early on. They provide rapid and accurate readings critical for prompt medical attention if necessary. For example, according to Northwestern University, a US-based private research university, birth rates in the US increased in 2021, resulting in a net rise of 46,000 births above the pre-pandemic trend over two years. This fertility increase continued into the summer of 2022, underscoring the role of rising birth rates in boosting the baby thermometers market.

Leading companies in the baby thermometers market are introducing innovative products such as infrared thermometers to enhance their competitive position. Infrared thermometers employ advanced technology to measure temperature without physical contact, typically by scanning the forehead or ear, providing rapid and hygienic readings. Widely used in medical settings and households, these thermometers offer non-invasive temperature monitoring with high precision. For instance, Fitgo, an India-based healthcare company, launched a new line of infrared thermometers in January 2021 featuring various models with advanced features such as one-second temperature readings, memory recall, fever alarms, compatibility modes, and large backlit displays. Equipped with high-precision infrared sensors, these thermometers ensure hygiene and accuracy, making them suitable for infants, adults, elderly individuals, objects, and ambient temperatures.

In March 2024, Healthy Together, a US-based health technology firm, acquired Kinsa Health to integrate Kinsa's AI technology into its SaaS platform, enhancing various sectors with AI-driven predictive health insights. Kinsa Health, based in the US, specializes in baby thermometers.
