Market Analysis

Global Market Trends

1. Midwifery and Maternal Healthcare Services Growth

The global midwifery and maternal health market is expanding steadily. It was valued at around $90â€¯billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $130â€¯billion by 2028, with a CAGR ~7.5â€¯% — showing significant opportunities for training, services, and professional development in the sector.
Demand is driven by:
1. Increased awareness of women’s health and maternal care standards
2. Investment in healthcare infrastructure, especially in emerging economies
3. International initiatives to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality

2. Broader Nursing and Healthcare Services Market

Nursing, middleâ€‘level practitioners, and allied care sectors together constitute a multiâ€‘trillionâ€‘dollar global market, with forecasts showing consistent growth due to workforce shortages, aging populations, and chronic disease burdens. Specialized segments within this space — such as nurse practitioner roles, advanced midwifery practice, community health, and maternal care innovation — are prioritised for research, training, and technology integrations.

Regional Demand Dynamics (Middle East & UAE)

1. UAE Healthcare Workforce Trends

The UAE healthcare staffing market is growing rapidly, and is expected to nearly double in size by 2033 with a strong CAGR (~8.8â€¯%) due to expanding infrastructure and medical tourism.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are focus hubs with major investment in hospitals, specialty maternity care, and allied services, creating a pull for skilled nurse practitioners and midwives.

2. Workforce Shortages & Training Needs

There is a global shortage of nearly 900,000 midwives, and this gap is reflected in the Arab region, with projected shortfalls toward 2030 that will influence education, recruitment, and professional development initiatives.
In the UAE especially, midwives are a very small proportion of the workforce; for example, past reports indicated only a handful of licensed midwives relative to overall nurses. This suggests a strong demand for upskilling and specialization programs.

National health strategies (e.g., UAE nursing/midwifery roadmaps) are pushing for strengthening clinical excellence, care models, and local capacity, which creates policy support for conferences and professional knowledge sharing events.

3. Skills & Education Gaps
There’s an acknowledged need for advanced midwifery education, specialty training, and postgraduate courses — which aligns well with conference themes focused on innovation, best practices, and certified continuing education.

Market Drivers for the Conference

1. Workforce Development Needs

Educational events are valuable to healthcare employers and practitioners because they address skills shortages, regulation updates, and best practice dissemination — especially in midwifery and advanced nursing scopes.

2. Policy & Strategic Initiatives

Government strategies in UAE and broader Gulf regions emphasize nursing/midwifery role enhancement and capacity building, creating demand for conferences that deliver insights into policy, care models, and education frameworks.

3. Global Healthcare Transformation

Healthcare systems worldwide are integrating interprofessional collaboration, digital healthcare, community health approaches, and evidenceâ€‘based practice, which drives interest in global knowledge exchange that your conference can facilitate.
