Obstetrics Devices Market Insights

The global obstetrics devices market is expected to grow at a moderate CAGR over the forecast period. Rising number of assisted deliveries owing to the growing presence of PCOS, obesity and preterm birth among other gynecological problems is likely to boost the growth of overall obstetrics devices industry. Moreover, rising incidence of physical injuries including tears and lacerations to injured pelvic organs, mostly among first-time mothers and women with a previous C-section is likely to contribute towards the profitability of the industry.

Factors such as rising birth rates coupled with increasing cases of heart diseases among women are also projected to stimulate demand for obstetrics devices.

Factors such as stringent regulations associated with the safety, efficacy, and accuracy of the obstetrics devices by various health organizations are likely to restrain the market growth to a certain extent.
