Neonatal ventilators are artificial breathing assistance devices explicitly designed and primarily used to treat the failures or disorders of neonatal respiratory function. A neonatal patient is connected to a device through an endotracheal tube directly applied to the airway through a noninvasive (NIV) mask. In addition, it is used as a diagnostic instrument to measure any abnormalities in how the respiratory system functions. Invasive and noninvasive ventilators are the two categories of neonatal ventilators currently on the market. These neonatal ventilators are intended to supply neonates with artificial gas support in the form of gas delivery and gas extraction, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide in their respective forms.
Demand for neonatal ventilators is expected to surge due to increased incidence of preterm births, respiratory disorders, and mortality rates in neonates. Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of neonate mortality due to respiratory failures in neonates. Preterm births occur more frequently than full-term births. In addition, babies born with a low birth weight are more likely to suffer from various health problems and require specialized neonatal care. Inadequate neonatal care, particularly regarding respiratory monitoring and nutrition consumption, contributes significantly to the high mortality rate associated with premature births.
Noninvasive neonatal ventilators increase oxygenation and alveolar ventilation, which increases the proportion of surviving newborns. In addition, these ventilators can increase patient compliance, speed up the healing process, lower the risk of infection, and shorten the time of hospital stays. Noninvasive neonatal ventilation is an essential tool for the management of acute as well as chronic respiratory failure in the context of home care and critical care settings. Therefore, developing noninvasive neonatal ventilators is a primary factor driving the market expansion.
In recent years, governments worldwide have increased their spending on healthcare. In addition, governments worldwide are teaming up with private businesses to fulfill the growing demand for neonatal and adult ventilators.
Some of the numerous variables anticipated to propel the growth of the global neonatal ventilator market throughout the analysis period include rising technological developments in the healthcare infrastructure and rising disposable income of individuals. The widespread adoption of newborn ventilators has also been facilitated by rising private investment from important market participants and increased awareness of treating chronic respiratory illnesses, further fueling market expansion.
The high cost of the current portable instruments is the main factor preventing market growth. Investing significant capital is necessary to incorporate innovative design elements and technological advances into these devices. In addition, the prices of the non-movable ventilators range widely depending on their size, technology, and features. Neonatal ventilators have a price tag ranging from USD 7,500 to USD 45,000. These ventilators also need to be operated, maintained, and repaired by personnel with a high level of expertise, contributing to these devices' overall cost. Consequently, it is anticipated that the high costs associated with neonatal ventilators will act as a barrier to expanding the global neonatal ventilator market.
The portability of neonatal ventilators has been significantly improved due to their miniaturization, making it easier to monitor a patient's condition at home, in the hospital, or while they are transported in an emergency. The increase in the trend of semiconductor and bioelectronics technology has supplemented the development of circuits that consume less power and smaller batteries. The portability of neonatal ventilators is improved by having batteries with a small size and a long backup time. As a result, these devices have gradually replaced traditional ventilators over the past few years. Due to this, the market has experienced an increased demand for sophisticated and portable neonatal ventilators. As a result, technological advancements, portability, and improved designs in neonatal ventilators are anticipated to present lucrative growth opportunities for the neonatal ventilator market throughout the forecast period.
The expansion of the neonatal ventilator market is anticipated to be aided by active government support for suitable infrastructure, increased public knowledge of respiratory treatments, and an increase in the accessibility of emergency care during the study period.

Covid-19 had some profound adverse impacts on the global advanced ceramics market.
COVID-19 spread across the world from China, making the whole world stand still and to a complete lockdown situation. Covid-19 is an infectious disease that was caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. During the time, the fatality rate among the population above 40 was also high globally. The disease causes severe illness for people suffering from medical conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, etc.
Considering the situation during that time, it was declared a pandemic which led to numerous countries, including the major economies like China, the United States, India, and others, implementing lockdowns which adversely affected the global economy.
In the first two quarters of 2020, the economic and industrial operations temporarily halted. Almost every manufacturing unit where advanced ceramics is used, such as electrical and electronics, transportation, industrial, chemical, and other End-user Industries (except medical), reduced their manufacturing capacities due to the lack of workers. The lockdown implemented put a halt to global supply chains. This resulted in repercussions in terms of both production and demand for advanced ceramics.
With time the lockdowns were uplifted, and relaxation was made to the public. Gradually, the economy picked up the pace and started its operations, bringing the demand in the global advanced ceramics market and increasing among various industries. As the situation improved during the initial months of 2021, the economies also strengthened their fiscal policies and initiated their development process; the end-user industries began their activities, bringing the overall ceramics market back on track.
