Fetal Doppler Monitoring System Market Research Report and Forecast Fetal Doppler Monitoring System Market

Fetal Doppler Monitoring System Market -
Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024
Fetal doppler monitor, commonly known as baby heartbeat monitor, is a handheld
ultrasound transducer used to detect the fetal heartbeat for prenatal care. Fetal
doppler monitor provides information about the fetus, which is similar to that of
fetal stethoscope, and it acts as an indicator of stress. The stress usually occurs
during birth and labor period, which can be detected using the ultrasound probe and
electrocardiography. Over the counter sale and use of Doppler ultrasound heartbeat
monitors are used for listening to the heartbeat of a fetus. These are legally
marketed as prescription devices and should be used under supervision of health
care professionals. Doptone is a type of handheld portable ultrasound tool used for
fetal monitoring. The tool is beneficial due to its waterproof technology. However,
fetal monitoring increases the risk of C-section due to high rate of technological
uses, which can develop many complications for the fetus and the mother during
pregnancy.

Increase in number of childbirth, awareness program for preventing the
complications in childbirth, and demand for at-home fetal heart monitors are
important driving factors of the global fetal doppler monitoring system market. In
2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared the usage of Doppler
ultrasound heartbeat monitors and fetal ultrasound imaging should be by trained
health care professionals, and they are not intended for over the counter sale or
use. Cost of treatment or ultrasonography and sensitivity of child toward ultrasound
devices are expected to hamper the fetal doppler monitoring system market
growth.
The global market has been segmented based on monitoring process type, end-
user, and geography. In terms of monitoring process type, the fetal doppler
monitoring system market is classified into electronic fetal monitoring, external fetal
monitoring, and internal fetal monitoring. In terms of end-user, the market for fetal
doppler monitoring system is classified into diagnostic laboratories, hospitals, and
research & development. In terms of geography, the market is distributed over
North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
Geographically, North America dominates the global market due to increase in
advent of technology of ultrasound monitoring devices and growth in child
