North America is expected to dominate the market in the period of forecast, due to the rise in adoption of epidural anesthesia sets by patients as well as physicians in the region, availability of well-qualified anesthesiologists that are trained in the delivery of spinal epidurals, introduction of a wide variety of spinal epidural sets by key players in the market, developed for the delivery of single dose as well as a continuous dose of anesthesia and numerous awareness campaigns being conducted by governments.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, due to improvement in hospital infrastructure and other health care centers. Many key players are increasing their footprints in the region by investing in the health care sector in countries of Asia. In November 2018, China’s National Health Commission pledged to make epidural anesthesia more widely available across the country, in response to Chinese women’s growing demand for pain relief during childbirth. The service, widely available in developed countries, is only offered in a few urban hospitals in China. Many women end up opting for cesarean sections just to avoid labor pain.

China has one of the world’s highest C-section rates, partly due to the poor quality of natural delivery services.
