Breastfeeding accessories are devices or tools that can make breastfeeding easier and more effective for both the mother and the child.

Breastfeeding aids make it simple for working mothers to provide their infants the nutrients they need.

MARKET DYNAMICS

DRIVERS

• Rising women employment and rate of childbirth

A rise in birthing rates and a decline in infant mortality rates may be associated with the expansion of the global market for breastfeeding accessories. The market for breastfeeding accessories is expected to increase in the upcoming years due to a rising percentage of women working, at least in important regions and nations. Opportunities in the global market might be created by increasing the adoption of government and non-profit initiatives and awareness campaigns connected to breastfeeding and pregnancy. On the back of the growing trend of late parenting, sales of high-end breastfeeding accessories are predicted to rise. In the future, demand from working women may rise rapidly. Consumers' rising disposable income and rising living standards in emerging economies are anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the global market.

RESTRAIN

New products must go through a protracted FDA clearance procedure, and there is a significant financial investment needed to launch new equipment to the market for breastfeeding accessories. This can make it difficult for new competitors to enter the market. Growth might be hampered by high product costs and a lack of availability in certain specialized markets. The growing controversy around the unnecessary usage of nursing equipment may serve as a deterrent.

IMPACT ANALYSIS

IMPACT OF RUSSIAN UKRAINE WAR

Keeping children healthy and safe is a priority for humanitarian groups and international organizations involved in the response more than 100 days into the devastating war in Ukraine. The survival of infants caught up in and affected by the conflict depends on supporting parents who are breastfeeding and utilizing breastmilk substitutes, such as formula, as the relentless attacks continue to damage hundreds of health supplies and facilities. Malnutrition and sickness, which frequently coexist in emergency conditions, are widespread and can quickly worsen a child's health. In times of crisis, the risk of infection increases, and diarrhea becomes a significant factor in child fatalities. The risk increases with age, especially for infants younger than six months.

IMPACT OF ONGOING RECESSION

Rising operational costs, fierce competition, and patent expirations will all continue to affect the pharmaceutical business. A recession may also have an impact on the supply and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Increased breastfeeding accessories price were also mentioned in the survey as a big worry that industry experts believe may impede pharma expansion, but this is a contested topic.

In 2022, breastmilk storage and feeding segment is accounted the largest market share of over 18.7% during the forecast period. Products for feeding and storing breastmilk are used to appropriately store breastmilk to assure the safety and caliber of expressed milk. The increase in the number of working women is a key factor driving the category. This is because maternity leaves are short-lived and new moms return to work quickly, increasing the demand for breastfeeding supplies. For instance, according to the World Bank and International Labor Organization's most recent statistics, 46% of women worldwide are working, and this number is predicted to increase in the future. Therefore, the breastmilk storage and feeding segment is anticipated to rule the market over the forecast period as the percentage of women working increases.

REGIONAL ANALYSES

Asia Pacific held a significant market share of over 42.9% in 2022. This might be attributed to the expansion of awareness efforts in the area and the presence of a sizable target audience. Additionally, a rise in the region's birthrate is anticipated to support market expansion.

Middle East and Africa region is witness to expand fastest market share during the forecast due to the different ailments brought on by our changing lifestyles. For instance, South Africa has a very low prevalence of breastfeeding due to the huge number of moms who are HIV positive and the widespread belief that breastfeeding can pass the disease to the kid.
