Compared to last 50 years, this percentage symbolized an increase of more than 400%. 14% to 16% of this 400% increase came from an increase from four classes of more common conditions that were usually less complex and they did not have substantial mortality associated with them. These conditions included asthma, obesity, mental health conditions, and neurodevelopmental disorders. In the 21st century, the rates of asthma and obesity stabilized.

According to Absolute Market Insights report, the children (2 years to less than 12 years) segment held the largest share in the global pediatric healthcare market in 2020. The number of children suffering from allergic diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases and other chronic diseases due to their lower immunity, is rapidly increasing in many countries. Children are smaller and more active than adults. Hence, their body structures and functions change throughout childhood. If children suffering from chronic diseases become long-term device users, this creates new concerns not only about device longevity, but also for long-term exposure to implanted materials. Due to growing awareness, parents are bringing children above 2 years of age too for pediatric treatment.
