• Expectations are high regarding the enlargement of the breastfeeding accessories market, with potential for substantial growth in the coming years. The value is projected to reach $2.85 billion by 2029, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate of 9.0%.
The anticipated growth over the forecast period can be associated with global health initiatives, eco-conscious and sustainable products, tailor-made solutions, the impact of parenting influencers, and technological advancements in milk storage solutions. Prime trends during the forecast period are anticipated to include wearable breastfeeding technology, nipple shields and protectors, customization or personalization of breast milk storage solutions, UV sterilization technology, modish designs, and the integration of telehealth.
The escalating birth rate is anticipated to spur the expansion of the breastfeeding accessories market in the future. The birth rate is determined by the contrast between the average annual populace and the number of live births in that specific year. Breastfeeding accessories are chiefly utilized for newborn infants as they facilitate adequate milk intake for the baby, safeguard the mother's milk supply, and offer an easy and convenient way to feed. Consequently, a surge in the birth rate will amplify the breastfeeding accessories market. As per the data released by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a governmental agency from the UK, in May 2024, there was a rise in the birth rate amongst women under 18 to 3.4 per 1,000 population in 2022 as opposed to the previous year. Hence, the escalating birth rate is a significant factor fueling the growth of the breastfeeding accessories market in the days ahead.
