Pediatric Medical Devices Market Analysis

Pediatric medical devices treat or diagnose conditions in individuals from birth through age 21. Pediatric patients are defined as persons aged 21 or younger at the time of their diagnosis or treatment. Pediatric subpopulations are categorized as neonates (birth through 28 days), infants (29 days to less than 2 years), children (2 years to less than 12 years), and adolescents (12 through 21 years). The rising chronic diseases among the pediatric population boost the demand for pediatric medical devices.

Pediatric Medical Devices Market Overview

According to an article published in Wiley online library in August 2020, 3.9 million surgeries are performed on children aged 0-17 in the US annually. The most common surgical procedures in childhood, excluding circumcision, are related to the ear, nose, and throat: tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and tympanostomy tube placement. The rising number of pediatric surgeries is increasing the demand for new innovations in the pediatric medical device market. In addition, with the growing demand, companies are introducing new technologies to accelerate growth of their market share. For instance, in June 2021, Preceptis Medical, Inc., launched Hummingbird Tympanostomy Tube System (TTS), a next-generation ear tube system for office-based pediatric myringotomy procedures. The new Hummingbird device has an improved ergonomic design that makes tympanostomy procedures in toddlers more successful without general anesthesia.

Pediatric Medical Devices Market Drivers and Opportunities

Mounting Number of Pediatric Surgeries to Favor Market

As highlighted by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among children under 5, resulting in ~ 700,000 deaths per year. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases including respiratory diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders is expected to boost demand for pediatric medical devices. Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in term and near-term infants. With the advancements in neonatal care, medical technologies have enabled the adoption of new therapies to support care or to be explored in large clinical studies. As a result, the rising adoption of medical devices in pediatric care facilities, fuels the global pediatric medical devices market.

High Growth Potential in Emerging Economies Brings Growth Opportunities

According to an article published in BMJ Open in November 2022, a study conducted using Demographic and Health Survey data from 33 sub-Saharan African countries concluded that Common childhood illnesses are prevalent among under-5 children in sub-Saharan African countries. Factors at individual and community levels are associated with this issue. Furthermore, the expanding healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies and the growing emphasis on telemedicine offer promising prospects for market expansion. Thus, collective initiatives by the international organizations, such as WHO and UNICEF in the regions such as the Asia Pacific, and Middle East and Africa strengthen their pediatric healthcare infrastructures by creating awareness regarding pediatric safety. These are likely to offer lucrative opportunities for the pediatric medical devices market growth during the forecast period.
