Middle East and Africa Pediatric Medical Devices Market Growth and Recent Trends by 2028

The pediatric medical devices market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 11,138.49 million in 2021 to US$ 1,793.15 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2021 to 2028.

Huge growth potential in rising economies is the major factor driving the growth of the MEA pediatric medical devices market. The initiatives by international organizations, such as WHO and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), to raise awareness regarding preterm birth and child health are likely to propel the adoption of pediatric medical devices such as pediatric MRI in hospitals and maternity clinics across middle-income countries in the coming years. For instance, in 2015, the United Nations established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote healthy lives and well-being for all children. The initiative projects to end the cases of preventable deaths of newborns and under-5 children by 2030. However, focused efforts are needed in Sub-Saharan Africa to prevent 80% of these deaths. Therefore, increasing initiatives by the developing economies in the regions such as the MEA to strengthen their pediatric healthcare infrastructures owing to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases among the children and infants, to create awareness regarding pediatric safety are likely to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the pediatric medical devices market during the forecast period.  

The MEA observed increasing numbers of patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The healthcare facilities experienced changes in staff allocations and workhours owing to the implementation of stringent infection control and social distancing measures. Additionally, they faced mental, physical, emotional, and financial challenges.Although,the COVID-19 pandemic boosted the demand for medical devices that can be used in a home care setting, pediatric patient visits to hospitals were restricted due to the infection. The medical devices industry segment, including pediatric medical devices, experienced losses during the COVID-19 pandemic due to restricted manufacturing and supply chain facilities. The pandemic affected the business operation of the various key players operating in the pediatric medical devices market in the region.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA pediatric medical devices market. The MEA pediatric medical devices market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
