Market Trends of Global Postpartum Hemorrhage Devices Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Postpartum Hemorrhage Devices Market according to our research experts:
Uterine Tamponade Devices are Expected to Witness a Positive Growth Over the Forecast Period
Uterine balloon tamponade is a non-surgical treatment for refractory postpartum bleeding. It can be used to tamponade uterine bleeding without operational intervention once postpartum hemorrhage has been recognized, and medicinal care has been given. When filled with fluid, the collapsed balloon is put into the uterus, which adapts to the shape of the uterine cavity to tamponade uterine hemorrhage. The catheter's central lumen facilitates drainage and is meant to detect any bleeding that occurs above the balloon's level. By delivering tamponade to the bleeding, uterine surface, uterine packing is a safe, straightforward, and practical approach to controlling postpartum hemorrhage.
The study published in MDLinx in 2021 explains the future advances in vacuum-induced uterine tamponade devices, which impart negative pressure to the uterus, causing the bleeding cavity to contract and leaking blood vessels to close. This low-cost, noninvasive method could be precious in developing nations where other treatment options are limited. Hence, owing to the advantages offered by uterine balloon tamponade, the adoption of these products is likely to increase among the target population, ultimately driving the market growth.
Furthermore, in 2021, a research article published in BMJ Case Reports found that condom tamponade can significantly reduce maternal morbidity and mortality associated with postpartum hemorrhage. In that study, they explain that condom tamponade saves both time and life of patients with positive results.
As per the article published in 2021 in Pubmed Central, substantiating the use of Bakri balloon plus cervical cerclage for the prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage in late pregnancy complicated with acute aortic dissection provides satisfactory results.
Therefore, the uterine tamponade segment is expected to witness significant positive growth over the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Postpartum Hemorrhage Devices Market Over the Forecast Period
North America had the largest market share for postpartum hemorrhage devices during the forecast period. The emergence of this region can be attributed to an increase in postpartum bleeding or hemorrhage in the United States and the rest of North America. The article published in 2020 in The Commonwealth Fund publication, 'Maternal Mortality and Maternity Care in the United States Compared to 10 Other Developed Countries,' explains that the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate among developed countries. Approximately one-third of all pregnancy-related deaths in the United States occur during pregnancy, as measured up to one year after birth. Moreover, the Postpartum Hemorrhage market in North America is being driven by advancements in healthcare infrastructure and rising healthcare spending. Also, increased awareness of sophisticated postpartum hemorrhage treatments grows the market.
Furthermore, the other factors involved in the growth of the postpartum hemorrhage market include key product approvals, increased pregnancy complications, and mortality rate or manufacturer's presence in the country. For Instance, in September 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved Jada System, a medical device designed to control and treat abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative therapy is required. Jada was approved for the first time in August 2020, based on findings from the PEARLE IDE research (Identifier: NCT02883673), which found that the device was 94.3 percent effective (n=100/106; P.001) in preventing postpartum hemorrhage (primary endpoint; defined as the avoidance of nonsurgical, second-line or surgical intervention to control uterine bleeding after the use of the Jada System). As a result of the factors above, the studied market is expected to increase in the North American region.
