Market Analysis

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the care of infants, children and adolescents and the prevention and treatment of their diseases. Although most thinking and analysis of health care is taken from the adult health care system, issues surrounding pediatrics are unique and challenging and should be treated differently than adults.

A major challenge the pediatric healthcare community faces is in relation to Medicaid funding. While the cost of health care for most children is relatively low, those who require hospitalization or specialty care experience a tremendous increase in total cost. Additionally, with a focus on preventative medicine, more resources need to be allocated to pediatrics. Medicaid funding for children estimates about 20 per cent of total funds, yet children makes up about 60 per cent of enrolees. Typically, nursing homes and geriatrics utilize the most Medicaid dollars but for a much smaller population. While healthcare reform is an on-going issue, the unique needs of children need to be included.

“Pediatricians Market” 2019-2024 report analyses important features in key developing markets. The analysis contains market size, newest trends, drivers, threats, opportunities, as well as key market segments. The study reveals market dynamics in numerous geographic segments along with Pediatricians market analysis for the current market environment and future development over the forecast period.

The global Pediatric Medical Devices Market was valued at USD 30.4 billion in 2022 and expected to grow US$ 70.7 billion in 2032. Between 2023 and 2032, this market is estimated to register a CAGR of 9.05%.

Market growth is expected to be driven by the increased demand for pediatric medical equipment, and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in children like asthma and respiratory disease. The COVID-19 pandemic was a significant factor in the decline of the market for pediatric medical devices. Globally, medical device companies have built facilities and some have closed down due to the pandemic. Due to the lockdown, the transportation of critical medical devices is being allowed. These medical devices became more crucial during the pandemic. The restrictions on supply and delivery were lifted as lockdowns all over the world are open.
