Market drivers: The primary driver boosting the global cervical dilator market is the growing number of cervical dilation procedures being performed worldwide owing to rising cesarean section rates and increasing preference for minimally invasive gynecological procedures. According to the World Health Organization, cesarean section rates dramatically increased from around 7% in 1990 to almost 21% in 2015. Such rise in c-section procedures is favoring the adoption of cervical dilators.

Market restraints: One of the major challenges in the global cervical dilator market is the risk of cervical injury associated with dilation procedures. Improper insertion and utilization of cervical dilators can lead to cervical injury and associated risks such as cervical laceration and infection. This factor may hamper the willingness of patients as well as healthcare professionals to adopt cervical dilators to some extent.

Segment Analysis
The global cervical dilator market is dominated by mechanical and osmotic cervical dilators sub segment. Mechanical dilators are manually and gradually stretched to widen the cervical opening. They are economical and widely used. Osmotic dilators absorb moisture from the cervix and swell to gently dilate the cervix. They are patient-friendly and preferred for pre-induction cervical ripening. Their swelling action reduces risks of injuries. Thus, osmotic dilators hold over 50% market share and the trend is likely to continue in the forecast period.

Global Analysis
Regionally, North America is the largest market for cervical dilators followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. In North America, advanced healthcare facilities, growing awareness about women's health, and increasing cervical cancer screening are driving regional growth. The easy availability of latest medical technologies and procedural knowledge of obstetricians and gynaecologists also support market expansion. Europe captures significant share owing to rising focus on women healthcare and family planning. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific market is growing at fastest pace due to improving medical infrastructure, rising fertility industry, and growing middle-class population in emerging countries.
