Clinical Perinatal Software Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Clinical Perinatal Software Market Analysis

The Clinical Perinatal Software Market size is estimated at USD 315.06 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 525.01 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.75% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Clinical perinatal software is an information system that provides advanced technological solutions to examine maternal and fetal health during the perinatal period. The rise in the number of natal mortality and preterm births has increased in the past few years. According to the data published by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund in January 2023, 2.3 million infants died in 2021, and nearly 6,400 neonatal deaths occur every day. Preterm birth, intrapartum-related complications, infections, and congenital disabilities are the leading causes of death in most newborns.

Additionally, according to the Pan American Health Organization, in June 2023, out of every ten babies born, one was preterm, and every 40 seconds, one of those babies died. These preterm newborns were found prone to infectious diseases that require constant surveillance using monitoring equipment and software. Thus, these factors have increased the demand for clinical perinatal software, influencing market growth.

Furthermore, technological advancements in clinical perinatal software and the expanding adoption of healthcare IT are promoting the growth of the studied market. Providers in the industry are focused on launching accurate and innovative approaches for monitoring infant and maternal health. They are highly focused on artificial intelligence and other analytical techniques that help analyze maternal vital signs, contractions, fetal heart rate, and labor progression. For instance, in January 2024, Nordic Digital Platforms (NDP), a transformative company bridging the gap between medical innovations and patient well-being, signed a strategic agreement with OBIX, a leading provider of perinatal data systems, to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to transform maternal care services in the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region. The partnership’s goal is to meet the rising demand for personalized, safe, and convenient maternity care. Such instances are expected to lead to an increase in the use of perinatal software, thereby driving market growth.

Moreover, increased government spending and initiatives to create awareness about prenatal and postnatal care are anticipated to drive market growth in the next five years. For instance, in March 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched its first global guidelines to support women and infants in the postnatal period. The guidelines recommended appropriate care and treatment options for maternity. Meanwhile, in November 2023, the Ministry of Health in Suriname, South America, along with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), launched the Perinatal Information System. The new system is integrated with advanced features for monitoring maternal and newborn health. Additionally, the benefits of utilizing perinatal software for pregnancy-related data management propel the market’s growth.

However, budget constraints and the need for extensive training are expected to be significant barriers to market growth.
