Increasing women's employment rate

A significant driver is the use of breastfeeding accessories by lactating women facing challenges with milk production. Global market revenue is on the rise, thanks to efforts from both public and private sectors to enhance women's employment opportunities and increase public awareness of the benefits of modern biological technologies. This includes their user-friendly and eco-friendly features, healthcare facility improvements, and supportive breastfeeding policies.
Temporary milk shortages, maternal health issues, and secretion difficulties have influenced the development of suitable breastfeeding equipment. Additionally, the market's expansion is fueled by the convenience, affordability, low maintenance requirements of breastfeeding accessories and the trend toward delayed motherhood.
Rise in awareness campaigns initiated by the governments
The breastfeeding accessories market enables mothers to express and store breast milk for future use. Various accessories facilitate directly pumping milk into containers for later feeding to the baby. This market mainly benefits mothers with lower milk production, assisting in expressing milk. The growth of this market is driven by the rising number of working women, the increasing global population, and enhanced financial capacity, offering a diverse range of breastfeeding accessory options. Furthermore, the anticipated market expansion is expected to be propelled by heightened awareness campaigns initiated by the government and industry players regarding the availability of nursing accessories.
High cost
In the coming years, the global market for breastfeeding accessories is expected to experience slow growth due to substantial investments, especially in specialized markets, to introduce new breastfeeding products. The high cost of nursing products serves as a constraint to the overall market expansion. Compliance with FDA regulations is a prerequisite for breastfeeding-related goods and equipment before being introduced to the general public. However, the extended FDA approval processes delay making these products available to consumers, posing a challenge to the worldwide growth of the breastfeeding accessories market.
Rising number of milk banks
The breastfeeding accessories market is expected to grow due to the rising number of milk banks worldwide. The demand for breast milk storage has led to an expansion in these banks, which is considered a progressive initiative for mothers. Milk banks provide significant benefits in situations where the mother faces disease transmission risks, is unable to lactate, or the baby is orphaned. As the number of milk banks increases, the utilization of breastfeeding accessories is likely to rise, contributing to market growth in the forecast period.
Innovation of breast pumps with new technologies
The breastfeeding accessories market is anticipated to grow in the coming years, driven by the introduction of breast pumps with new technologies by prominent market players. Companies like Medela LLC, Laura & Co., Newell Brands, Ameda, and educational institutions such as Washington University and Fudan University promote awareness about breastfeeding and its advantages through campaigns and informative magazines targeting women. It's noteworthy that open breast pumps are less hygienic than closed ones, with the latter experiencing higher usage rates due to their contamination-free systems.

Crafted from a secure plastic that preserves breast milk's beneficial properties, these bottles are ideal for safe storage in the refrigerator or freezer. The vivid ounce and millimeter markers make measuring the precise amount of expressed milk effortless. The convenience of use acts as a major growth factor for the segment with promising sustained growth in the upcoming period.
The cleaning products segment shows a significant growth over the forecast period. When using cleaning products according to the instructions on the label, the chemicals are not expected to enter your body or reach the baby in harmful amounts. Following the recommended usage of cleaning products is unlikely to increase the risk of congenital disabilities or adverse effects during breastfeeding.
The hospital-grade segment was highly prominent in the breastfeeding accessories market share of 86% in 2024. The increased number of births in hospital settings contributes to the growing demand for this segment. Hospital-grade breast pumps, equipped with advanced technology and various benefits, stimulate breast milk expression, particularly among mothers facing challenges in producing an adequate amount for breastfeeding.
During the forecast period, the personal segment is experiencing the fastest growth. This growth is attributed to new mothers' increasing usage of breastfeeding accessories at home. Various breastfeeding accessories enhance milk supply during lactation and provide efficient means for mothers to express their milk.
