Global Breast Pumps Market Size (2024 - 2029)

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.
