Global Breast Pump Market Analysis

Product Analysis

Closed system segments held 63.8% of the market in revenue in 2021. They are expected to see the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. These systems have higher usage rates and are therefore more clean and safe. Closure breast pumps are replacing open systems rapidly and so their revenue share should increase by 2032.

The closed-system breast pump has a layer or lid that acts as a barrier to collecting milk from the pumping unit or motor. This protective layer helps prevent milk particles from entering the motor’s pump tubing. These devices offer greater safety and cleanliness for children’s health. In the coming years, market growth will be driven by portable instruments.

However, open-type breast pumps do not have barriers that stop milk from entering the pump. They are more affordable than closed systems. Users find it difficult to clean milk tubing or pump mechanisms after it has been introduced. Lack of proper cleaning causes bacteria and mold growth to occur in the pump system, which can lead to infections. Market growth for open-type breast pumps will be slow due to breastfeeding mothers prioritizing hygiene over cost.

Technology Analysis

In 2021, the electric pumps segment is expected to experience a high growth rate of 8.1% during the forecast period. An electric breast pump is powered by an electric motor. The plastic tubing that supplies suction to the nipple connects to a motor. It pumps both breasts simultaneously and provides much more suction. Electric pumps are more popular among working mothers as they extract more milk in a much shorter amount of time.

The time required to pump milk with an electric pump is significantly shorter than with a standard pump. Although electric pumps can sometimes be noisy and heavy, modern technology allows for lighter pumps that produce less noise. Mothers who are unable to afford new pumps or just need them for a brief time can rent electric pumps.

Purely Yours Ultra Breast Pump, by Ameda AG, and Isis iQ duo Breast Pump, by Philips AVENT are two of the key players in this market. The market will grow due to technological advances such as the introduction of portable instruments like the Platinum electric breast pump by Ameda or the Electric swing breast pump by Medela.

Application Analysis

In 2021, the hospital-grade segment held a significant revenue share of the market. These breast pumps can be rented monthly for personal use, and have powerful motors. The breast pumps work in a closed system, which means that there are barriers to keeping milk and other fluids out of the motor. This prevents contamination and ensures safety for multiple users.

They offer several advantages, such as being more powerful than most personal-use breast pumps. They can be used by mothers with medical issues or babies that have trouble latching and nursing. The segment is expected to grow because of the above advantages provided by the hospital-grade pumps.

Market Dynamics

The global unemployment rate for women is 0.9% higher than that of men. Breast pumps are used by many mothers working to pump breast milk and feed their children while they’re away at work. Breast pumps can make pumping milk easier and save time. Market growth is expected due to all of these factors.

Global demand for breast pump products will increase due to increasing consumer awareness and support from government initiatives. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), a program that promotes evidence-based strategies for breastfeeding success, was launched by UNICEF, and the WHO, to increase breastfeeding rates and help families achieve their breastfeeding goals.

The Affordable Care Act also requires that all insurance policies cover certain breastfeeding supplies such as breast pumps. These initiatives are expected to increase the demand for these products. End-users will find it easier to buy these products, which leads to increased demand for a breast pumps.

In various countries, governments encourage breastfeeding until 6 months. International agencies also organize campaigns to increase awareness of breastfeeding. Universities like Washington University & Fudan University also help raise awareness about breastfeeding and its benefits. These factors are expected to drive the breast-pump market.

Similar initiatives by the CDC, WHO, and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM), to encourage breastfeeding during the COVID-19 epidemic, are expected to have a positive effect on the market. In light of increasing precautionary measures, breast pumps are expected to be used more frequently.

Breast pumps will also be needed in the future due to rising breastfeeding complications. Breastfeeding problems include breast engorgement, poor attachment, and nipple discomfort in women. This makes breastfeeding more difficult for women.

Nemours is a non-profit organization dedicated to children’s healthcare. It has been found that many women stop breastfeeding their newborn babies before the age of two, which leads to an increase in the demand for breast pumps.

In addition, engorgement is predicted to be a key driver for breast pump demand over the forecast period. Engorgement must be avoided by removing excess milk. Hand expression and breast pumps are the best methods to extract excess milk from breasts. As a result, infants can experience nipple discomfort when they are suckling. Poor attachment is another reason for the increased demand for breast pumps.

Social media platforms have made it possible for individuals to obtain information about breast pumps, and other accessories. Many companies offer information on these platforms. Spectra Baby USA, for example, has a page called Spectra Baby USA – pumping for mom support. It provides information and support about breast pumps. These factors are expected to increase breast pump demand during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 virus outbreak had a significant impact on the market. The introduction of COVID-19 vaccines helped countries open their international borders and normalize the supply chain in the period following the pandemic. The birth rate also rose after the pandemic.

Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Organization have predicted that births will rebound leading to normal birth volumes. The market will see a gradual increase in breast pump demand over the next years.

Regional Analysis

North America dominated this market in 2021. It accounted for the highest revenue share of 36.16% among the others, due to its high breast pump penetration. This was largely because of an increase in healthcare spending, women’s employment rates, and patient awareness. The market’s leaders are working to develop technologically enhanced breast pumps. This will help fuel the overall market for the forecast period.

Europe was responsible for a significant revenue share in 2021 due to the rising birth rate and increasing women’s employment. Worker mothers face challenges when it comes to providing nutrition for their children. If not taken care of, this can lead to increased neonatal mortality.

Breast pumps make it easier and more convenient for working mothers to properly feed their babies. The target market is also becoming more aware of breast pumps. In the next few years, Europe’s breast pump market will see growth opportunities due to increasing awareness among consumers.
