Pediatric Health Care Products and Services

Study Goal and Objectives

The aim of this study is to provide an in-depth analysis and forecast of the pediatric healthcare market. The focus is on scope of the market, including short-term and chronic illnesses; products and procedures currently available; and research regarding future treatments such as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and therapies.

Reasons for Doing The Study

Children often suffer from acute short-term illnesses such as chronic upper respiratory or ear infections, gastrointestinal illness accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, or injury-related problems. Some children, however, develop significant chronic illnesses that last for years or for their lifetimes. Some result from genetic or inherited conditions, others from environmental factors. Prenatal care for the mother and fetus is especially important as exposure to tobacco smoke, alcohol, and other toxins can significantly affect a baby's health.

Pediatricians are confronted with a variety of short-term illnesses such as upper respiratory infections, ear infections, and gastrointestinal illnesses on a daily basis. While these illnesses are transient in nature, they also present a significant drain on time and financial resources for parents and others involved with the primary care of the child.

While most short-term illnesses are treatable and subside within 1 to 5 days, chronic illnesses are far more costly and damaging for the children, their families, and other caregivers. Chronic illnesses covered in this report include respiratory illnesses such as asthma and allergies; cystic fibrosis; diabetes; obesity; malnutrition; cerebral palsy; neurological illnesses such as attention deficient/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and epilepsy/seizures; as well as illnesses as a consequence of low birth weight.

The report will investigate the market for treatments of acute short-term illnesses such as colds and flu, including prescription and over-the-counter medications and immunizations, and it will investigate the most significant chronic illnesses in the pediatric population. Treatment protocols and markets for products and services for each condition will be reported. The report will also identify the implications for chronic pediatric illnesses within various ethnicities including the African-American, Hispanic, and Asian communities.

Emerging technologies may be includedin the study if they appeared to be commercially significant by 2008.
