Breast Pump Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Battery powered Breast Pump, Manual Breast Pump, Electrical Breast Pump), Product (Open System, Closed System), Technology (Single Electric, Manual, Wearable, Double Electric), Application (Consumer Grade, Hospital Grade Pump), End User (Hospitals, Maternity Centers, Homecare Settings, Other End Users), and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Breast Pump Market is accounted for $545.82 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $905.37 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. A breast pump is a mechanical tool that nursing moms use to remove milk from their breasts. They come in two varieties: manually operated ones that are propelled by hand or foot motions, and automatically operated ones that are propelled by electricity. Breast pumps are also utilised to draw out flat or inverted nipples to make it simpler for a nursing infant to latch on to its mother's breast, alleviate engorged breasts & obstructed milk ducts, and maintain or increase a woman's milk production. In order to encourage milk supply when a baby is unable to latch on and eat, doctors advise breast pumps.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) 2018 report, it is expected that by 2024, women in the age group of 25 to 34 years would constitute the major share of employed women in the U.S.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing consumer awareness
The market for breast pumps is expected to increase due to rising consumer awareness and benevolent government initiatives. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) created The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), which promotes evidence-based practises for breastfeeding success, to increase breastfeeding rates and help families reach their breastfeeding goals. Similar to this, the Affordable Care Act now requires that the majority of insurance plans pay for specific breastfeeding assistance and supplies, such breast pumps. Thus, it is anticipated that these activities will expand the use of these items.
Restraint:
Damage of Breast Tissues Leading to Reduction of Milk Supply
Damage to the nipple and breast tissue, an increase in drug production, a reduction in the amount of milk produced manually, and a drop in the nutrients in breast milk are some variables that significantly hinder market expansion.
Opportunity:
Increasing breastfeeding complications
Breast pumps will soon be in demand due to rising nursing problems among women. Poor attachment, breast engorgement, and nipple pain in women are all breastfeeding difficulties. Therefore, these problems among women make breastfeeding more challenging. The majority of mothers stop breastfeeding their newborn children too soon, according to Nemours, a non-profit organisation dedicated to children's health, which increases demand for breast pumps. Engorgement is also anticipated to play a significant role in influencing the demand for breast pumps during the projected period.
Threat:
High cost of products
One of the main challenges restricting this industry is the cost of breast pumps. Users are reluctant to purchase breast pumps because of their high price, particularly in poor and underdeveloped nations. Additionally, it's anticipated that the growth of the breast pump market industry would be hindered by the potential of contamination with foreign chemicals.
Covid-19 Impact
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the market saw a negative impact. But once COVID-19 vaccinations were available, nations began to open their borders internationally, which helped to normalise the supply chain during the post-pandemic period. Moreover, after the epidemic, the birth rate also rose. For instance, some researchers at the University of Michigan Health Organization expected that births will increase again, resulting in a typical volume of babies being born. Thus, in the upcoming years, the market is projected to see a gradual increase in the demand for breast pumps.
The open system segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The open system segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to these systems are freer of pollution, and their growth can be attributable to their greater consumption rates. Products with closed systems may have a cover that serves as a barrier between a pumping unit and a variety kit or a motor that prevents the contamination of milk that has been collected. Additionally, this form of barrier stops dairy product particles from entering the motor or pump lines. These goods offer improved safety procedures, guarantee the least amount of contaminants, and are incredibly simple to clean. In the following years, it is anticipated that the segment expansion will be driven by the release of practical new products.
The single electric segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The single electric segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to these products have much stronger suction and are motor-powered, which accelerates pumping considerably. Comparing the double moving model to the conventional pump, the time required is reduced. Although manufacturers continue to apply cutting-edge technologies to develop lightweight, noisier items, electric pumps are frequently fairly heavy and noisy. Solely Yours Ultra Breast Pump by Ameda AG and Isis iQ Duo Breast Pump by Philips AVENT are two important brands in this market. In the years to come, technological advancements with the introduction of lightweight products like the Platinum eagle electric breast pump motor by Ameda and the Electric swing chest pumps by Medela are anticipated to boost segment expansion.
Region with largest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the high rates of female employment, high healthcare spending, sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, and high patient awareness levels in this region, North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share. This is primarily due to the increased market penetration of breast pumps in this region. Leading companies in the market are also creating technologically advanced breast pumps, which will drive the market overall throughout the projection period.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the high prevalence of work for women, the acceptance of health care costs, and better reimbursement regulations. Russia is the most lucrative market among Eastern European nations, and Europe as a whole contributes a sizeable market share to the breast pump business. Due to features of breast penis pumps that enable women to maintain dairy production and provide nutritious food to infants in their absence, the European market for breast pumps has experienced significant growth in recent years.
