The baby carriers are normally made of soft fabrics that wrap around the chest, providing comfort and support for the baby and allowing the parent or carer to keep their hands free while performing everyday tasks.

The increasing number of nuclear families and the rising concerns among parents about the safety of their children is increasing the usage of baby carriers. However, the comfort issues and increasing recalls associated with baby carriers impede the market growth. The ongoing efforts by governing agencies to implement stringent safety standards on manufacturing baby carriers are encouraging market players to add innovative features that allow multiple positions to carry a baby. Moreover, the increasing usage of biomaterials for producing eco-friendly baby carriers is expected to expand the scope of baby carriers.

Governments of different provinces in the United States have laid strict rules and regulations for maintaining the quality of baby carriers. These extensive rules in the American region are expected to increase the demand and competitiveness in the market, which consists of many organized and unorganized players. Additionally, baby carriers imported to and manufactured in the European Union should be designed to comply with applicable safety requirements in mind. The increasing spending power of European consumers and the growing focus of the manufacturers on designing high-quality baby carriers, ensuring the safety and comfort of babies propel the market growth in the region.
