Growing adoption of digital health

As per the IMARC Group’s report, the global digital health market reached US$ 421.7 Billion in 2023.

Besides this, parents have easy access to information and resources from digital platforms concerning maternal and childhood health, enabling them to learn about pregnancy, child growth, feeding, and healthcare.

Rising healthcare spending

High healthcare spending is leading to the development of infrastructure, facilities and easy access to maternal and child health care services, encompassing antenatal care, obstetrics, gynecology services, neonatal, child health care, and specialized treatments. In addition, increasing healthcare spending allows for investments in training healthcare professionals, improving clinical practices, and implementing quality assurance measures, which is leading to improved healthcare, increase in patient safety, and better health of mothers and children. In line with this, healthcare spending promotes the goal of preventive healthcare, including maternal and child health like vaccinations, prenatal testing, nutritional education, and birth control, thereby influencing the mother and child healthcare market revenue. According to the content updated on the website of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2024, the health spending share of GDP is forecasted to grow from 17.3 percent in 2022 to 19.7 percent in 2032.

Increasing reliance on healthcare insurance coverage

Health insurance helps to increase the utilization of essential maternal and child health care services, such as prenatal, childbirth services, postpartum care, and pediatric care.
