US Neonatal (Preterm) Infant Care Market (2010-2015)
‘Preterm’ birth, as the name suggests, means delivery before 37 weeks of gestation or 259 days. Preterm births form a serious pediatric health problem in the U.S., forming one of the leading causes of infant mortality in the country. Preterm births account for nearly 13% of all the births and 17% of all the infant deaths occurring in the nation and this phenomenon costs the country more than $25 billion annually. The condition is on an alarming rise due to factors such as labor treatments, induced fertility, poor prenatal care, inappropriate maternal age, obesity, and smoking. Preterm infant care products (equipment, drugs, and formulae) can thus be life-critical as they provide the respiratory, nutritional, and thermal support necessary for the survival of pre-term babies.
The U.S. Neonatal (Preterm) Infant Care Market is studied by Equipment/Products, Services, Drugs and Formula The U.S. preterm infant care market is expected to decline from $17.41 billion in 2010 to $14.85 billion in 2015, declining at an negative CAGR of -3.13% from 2010 to 2015. The services segment accounted for the largest share of the overall preterm infant care market at $15 billion in 2010. New product launches and technology upgradation are the two main strategies adopted by the players to stay competitive in this market.
The U.S. market for preterm care devices is mature and fragmented, with numerous players offering both basic and sophisticated equipments at affordable rates. However local manufacturers offer similar products at around $3,000 - $9,000. The availability of low-cost, locally manufactured devices is driving market growth, as these generate enormous revenues by widening consumer base to tier II and tier III healthcare providers.
However, the decreasing incidence of preterm births is the major factor inhibiting the growth of the U.S. market for preterm infant care products and services. Also, the U.S. government initiatives to lower preterm birth incidence rate are expected to significantly reduce the number of preterm births in the country. For instance, the government campaign “Healthy People 2010” aimed to reduce the country’s preterm birth rate from 12.7% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2010. According to the National Center for Health, 1 in 8 U.S. births are preterm and preterm birth rates in the U.S. have declined from 12.8% in 2006 to 12.3% in 2008.
Maturity of the market and the relatively high penetration levels of distribution channels pose high entry barriers and challenges to market growth. Therefore, companies such as Philips Respironics, Masimo Corporation, and Covidien are strengthening their regular distribution channels by deploying direct sales force and increasing technical support staff to stay competitive in this market.

This generally occurs due to poor prenatal care, high maternal age, induced fertility, labor treatments, and lifestyle choices such as obesity and smoking. The U.S. preterm infant care market is broadly classified under products and services. The products market covers the revenues generated from equipment sales, upgradation, replacement, and the sales of infant formulae and drugs. The services market consists of the revenues generated from diagnosis, therapy/monitoring, and the other services such as milk banking. The equipment segment of overall preterm infant care market covers respiratory assistance devices, delivery systems, thermal control equipment, monitoring and diagnostic devices, and bili lights. This market is relatively mature with numerous players offering both basic and sophisticated equipment at affordable costs. However, the sales of replacement units generate the most market revenues.
The U.S. preterm infant care market is expected to decline from $17.4 billion in 2010 to $14.85 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of -3.13% from 2010 to 2015. The major factor that affects the U.S. preterm infant care market is the preterm birth rate that is seen to be on a decline; thus the affecting the market.
Preterm births not only incur the risk of infant mortality, but also have a high socioeconomic impact.

The lost labor hours (with respect to the parents of preterm infants) account for a quarter of the total expenditure involved in preterm infant care.
SOCIOECONOMIC COSTS
Source: MarketsandMarkets
The absence of diagnosis to detect the possibility of preterm birth increases the cost of delivery and accounts for about 6% of the total costs. The service market for preterm infant care includes the expenditures incurred due to the need for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) with high-end medical equipment such as incubators, radiant warmers, and ventilators. The service market also includes inpatient diagnostic/monitoring and therapeutic services, medical services needed by preterm infants after discharge, and the developmental care services offered by healthcare providers.
