Breast Pump Market Analysis
The Global Breast Pumps Market size is estimated at USD 2.92 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.36 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.35% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The major factors driving the market's growth include increasing women’s employment rates globally, improving healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies, and government initiatives supporting employed mothers.
Many working mothers rely on breast pumps to ensure their babies are fed. In contrast, at work, the demand for these devices is expected to continue growing, reflecting the evolving needs of modern families. For instance, according to the statistics from the International Labor Organization (ILO) updated in February 2022, the current global labor force participation rate for women is under 47%. Many working mothers opt for breast pumps to pump milk and feed their babies when they are away for work. As more working mothers use breast pumps to ensure their infants are fed during their absence, the market for these devices is set to grow, meeting the needs of modern working families.
Further, as more women join the workforce globally, the demand for breast pumps is rising, providing a practical solution for mothers to continue breastfeeding while managing their professional and personal commitments. As per the data updated by the WHO in December 2023, about 44% of infants (0-6 months old) are exclusively breastfed. Moreover, as per the same report, exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of a baby’s life. Breast pumps ease the milk pumping and save a lot of time. Since the female employment rate is increasing globally, many women find it helpful to conserve breast milk after returning to work, traveling, or otherwise when separated from their infant. With the rise in female employment globally, breast pumps have become essential tools for working mothers, enabling them to pump efficiently and store milk, thereby supporting the recommended practice of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, which may increase the adoption of these devices among working women.
Moreover, the new product approvals and launches globally provide access to various breast pumps, driving the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2023, Lansinoh launched the new Lansinoh Wearable Breast Pump in the United States. Lansinoh's Wearable Pump empowers mothers, allowing them to pump confidently anywhere. Hence, the demand for these products is expected to surge, boosting market growth.
Therefore, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to the factors above, such as increasing global women’s employment rates and new product launches. However, higher prices of breast pumps are likely to limit their adoption among women, thereby restraining the market’s growth.
Breast Pump Market Trends
The Closed System Breast Pumps Segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share During the Forecast Period
A breast pump with a milk barrier is a closed-system breast pump. The barrier prevents the milk from overflowing and leaking into the pump mechanism and provides the milk with a hygienic route. Some of the closed-system breast pumps available in the market include Medela Freestyle, Symphony, Pump in Style, Lucina Melody One, Evenflo, Spectra S2 Plus, Lansinoh Signature Pro Double, Ameda Mya Joy, Motif Luna, Elvie Stride, and Zomee Z2.
Open breast pumps are comparatively less hygienic than closed breast pumps, and they register high usage rates as these systems are contamination-free. The 2022 report from Exclusive Pumping mentioned that in open-system breast pumps, the absence of a barrier between the pump components and the tubing could lead to the potential transfer of breast milk from the tubing to the motor. Since the motor is not cleanable, this presents a challenge: a subsequent user cannot effectively sterilize the pump.
Also, the recent product launches in the closed-system breast pumps are increasing the penetration of the breast pumps into the customer base, driving the segment's growth. For instance, in November 2022, Medela launched its new Freestyle Hands-free Breast Pump, a wearable closed breast pump solution. Drawing from its research, Medela designed the collection cups to be lightweight, comfortable, and discreet, seamlessly connecting to a portable pump motor, ensuring an unparalleled hands-free pumping experience. Further, in March 2022, TensCare launched a new breast pump named Nouri, offering a closed and fast pump system. Thus, the latest product launches are expected to boost the segment growth during the forecast period.
Therefore, due to the factors above, such as risk with open systems and new product launches, closed breast pump systems are expected to register significant growth during the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share During the Forecast Period
North America is expected to contribute significantly to the market growth during the forecast period. Factors such as greater market penetration of breast pumps, rising rates of women's employment, growing healthcare expenditure, and well-established healthcare infrastructure are driving the market growth in the region. Also, the United States significantly contributes to regional growth due to increased product launches and government initiatives to boost the market's growth in the region.
Specific initiatives taken by organizations and governments promote market growth and generate awareness among the population. For instance, according to the United States Breastfeeding Committee 2024 data, every August's first week, the United States Department of Agriculture hosts National WIC Breastfeeding Week, aligning it with World Breastfeeding Week to champion breastfeeding as the premier nutritional source for infants. These programs increase infants' awareness of breast milk, boosting the market growth in the region.
Also, product launches and company collaborations in North America significantly impact the growth of breast pumps. Many working mothers prefer to express their milk with the breast pump and store it for the baby at work. Electric and automated breast pumps have simplified and expedited the pumping process. For instance, in January 2022, Medela, a North American-based company, launched a single electric breast pump named "Solo" in Canada for breastfeeding moms and working women at an affordable rate. These advancements and strategic initiatives underscore the pivotal role of innovation and collaboration in meeting the needs of modern working mothers, thereby driving the growth of the breast pump market in North America.
Hence, due to the above-mentioned facts and benefits of breast pumps and growing awareness of breast milk for infants, the market is expected to grow in the region during the forecast period.
