Malaysia prenatal and neonatal care
devices market is anticipated to grow significantly in the projected period of
2028. Malaysia's healthcare sector has witnessed
significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the field of prenatal
and neonatal care. For the special requirements of tiny infants, complicated
instruments and devices are used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). A
new parent may feel overwhelmed by the NICU. It can be reassuring to learn what
to anticipate in the NICU. Prenatal and neonatal care devices play a crucial
role in monitoring and managing the health of both mothers and infants,
ensuring a safe and healthy pregnancy journey. With a strong emphasis on
improving maternal and infant health outcomes, Malaysia has witnessed a
remarkable growth in its prenatal and neonatal care devices market, driven by
innovative technologies and increasing investments in healthcare
infrastructure. One of the primary drivers behind the growth of Malaysia's
prenatal and neonatal care devices market is the increasing awareness among expectant
mothers and healthcare providers regarding the importance of early detection
and monitoring of potential health issues during pregnancy and infancy.
The
Malaysian government has taken several initiatives to promote and enhance
maternal and infant health, including increased funding for healthcare
infrastructure, the implementation of prenatal screening programs, and the
introduction of policies supporting early diagnosis and intervention. Technological
advancements have revolutionized the prenatal and neonatal care devices
landscape in Malaysia, leading to the growth of the Malaysia prenatal and
neonatal care devices market. From advanced ultrasound systems to wireless
fetal monitoring devices and smart incubators, innovative technologies have greatly
improved the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing and managing maternal and
neonatal health conditions. These devices enable healthcare professionals to
monitor fetal development, detect anomalies, and intervene early, thus reducing
the risk of complications and improving outcomes for both mothers and infants,
thereby driving the growth of the prenatal and neonatal care devices market. Also,
the demand for home-based prenatal and neonatal care devices has witnessed
significant growth in Malaysia.
These devices provide expectant mothers and
parents with the convenience of monitoring their health and the well-being of
their infants in the comfort of their own homes. Home fetal dopplers, blood
pressure monitors, baby scales, and thermometers are some of the commonly used
devices that allow parents to track vital signs and ensure early detection of
any abnormalities, promoting timely intervention and peace of mind, which is
expected to propel the growth of Malaysia prenatal and neonatal care devices
market in the forecast period.
As per UNICEF Data Warehouse,
the neonatal mortality rate per 1,000 live births was reported to be 4.211 in
2021.
The digital
revolution has transformed various industries, including the prenatal and
neonatal care devices sector in Malaysia. E-commerce platforms have gained
popularity, providing consumers with convenient access to products through
online healthcare portals. Digitalization has also enabled medical devices companies
to streamline their supply chain and distribution processes, leading to
increased efficiency and cost savings.
As per the International
Trade Administration (ITA), the number of active internet users in Malaysia
rose from 27.4 million to 80 % by 2021 and mobile phone penetration was high at
84.2 percent. In Malaysia, there were 28 million active users on social media
and 39.9 million cellular connections in January 2021.
Growing Prevalence of
Preterm Hypothermia
Preterm birth is a significant global health
issue that poses a range of challenges to the healthcare system, particularly
concerning the well-being of newborns. Among the many complications associated
with preterm birth, hypothermia stands out as a crucial concern. In Malaysia,
the prevalence of preterm hypothermia has propelled the demand for advanced
prenatal and neonatal care devices. These devices play a pivotal role in
maintaining optimal body temperature and ensuring the healthy development of
premature infants. The World Health Organization defines hypothermia as a core
temperature below 36.5° C (97.7° F). Hypothermia increases morbidity and
mortality in premature newborns. Hypothermia can be caused by the environment
alone or be a symptom of another condition, such sepsis. Neonatal hypothermia
must be avoided by keeping the delivery room or operating room at a comfortable
temperature. Infants who are hypothermic need to be warmed up, and any
underlying conditions need to be identified and treated. which is expected to
grow the Malaysia prenatal and neonatal care devices market in the forecast period.
Prenatal and neonatal care devices are crucial tools that aid in monitoring,
supporting, and providing care to preterm infants, leading to the growth of Malaysia
prenatal and neonatal care devices market. These devices are designed to help maintain
an ideal thermal environment and offer precise temperature regulation,
essential for the well-being of premature babies. Some of the commonly used
devices include incubators, radiant warmers, heated mattresses, and temperature
probes.
According to WHO, Currently, it is
anticipated that healthcare will account for around 7.25% of the nation's GDP. This
is anticipated to rise because of population growth, an increase in life
expectancy, and rising government spending on better healthcare infrastructure
and services.
The
Increasing Prevalence of Hospital-Acquired Infections Among Neonates Propels the
Malaysia Prenatal and Neonatal Care Devices Market
Malaysia's
healthcare system has made significant progress in reducing infant mortality rates
and improving neonatal care over the years. However, the increasing prevalence
of hospital-acquired infections among neonates has become a concerning issue.
These infections pose a significant threat to the health and well-being of
newborns, necessitating the use of advanced prenatal and neonatal care devices.
As a result, Malaysia's prenatal and neonatal care devices market is witnessing
a surge in demand and growth. Hospital-acquired
infections, also known as nosocomial infections, refer to infections that are
acquired during a hospital stay. Neonates, particularly premature babies, or
those with low birth weight, are particularly vulnerable to hospital-acquired
infections due to their underdeveloped immune systems. The main sources of hospital-acquired
infections include contaminated medical equipment, healthcare workers, and the
hospital environment itself. Hospital-acquired infections can have devastating
consequences on neonatal care. Infected newborns often require longer hospital
stays, increased medical interventions, and face a higher risk of morbidity and
mortality. These infections can lead to complications such as bloodstream
infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and surgical site infections.
To combat this growing concern, healthcare providers and facilities are
focusing on implementing stringent infection control measures and relying on
innovative prenatal and neonatal care devices, which is expected to grow the Malaysia
prenatal and neonatal care devices market in the forecast period.
According to Ministry of
Health Malaysia, hospital admission increases from 2,687,181 in 2019 to 2,284,303
in 2020 and admissions in Special Medical Institutions increase from 72,352 in
2019 to 102,515 in 2020.
Malaysia has witnessed substantial growth in its healthcare infrastructure,
with the establishment of specialized neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and
prenatal care facilities across the country. This expansion has created a
demand for advanced devices and equipment to cater to the increasing number of
neonates requiring specialized care, hence, augmenting the growth of Malaysia prenatal
and neonatal care devices market. With an increasing focus on neonatal care and
infection prevention, healthcare professionals and parents are becoming more
aware of the risks associated with hospital-acquired
infections. This awareness has driven the demand for effective prenatal
and neonatal care devices that can aid in infection control and improve patient
outcomes.
