The maternity pillow market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the maternity pillow market has seen a robust expansion. It is projected to accelerate from a worth of $587.99 billion in 2024 to $621.79 billion in 2025, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.7%.
The historic rise is associated with the growing demand for comfort products during pregnancy, heightened consumer awareness, a surge in restless leg syndrome cases among expectant women, the escalating demand for memory foam pregnancy pillows, and a rise in the emphasis on organic fillings.
The maternity pillow market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the maternity pillow market is anticipated to witness robust growth. By 2029, it is projected to expand to $766.71 $ billion with a 5.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This market surge during the forecast period can be credited to an increase in pregnancy rates, a burgeoning demand for memory foam pregnancy pillows, an augmented appeal of premium pregnancy pillows, its health benefits such as reducing discomfort and pain, and greater spending power among consumers. Notable trends during this forecast period consist of promotional and targeted advertising of pregnancy pillows, novel advancements and technologies, the launch of innovative products, the rising significance of social media for advertising purposes, and governmental actions to raise public awareness.
An upward trend in the occurrence of restless leg syndrome in expecting mothers is anticipated to boost the maternity pillow market's expansion. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized as a neurological condition provoking an uncontrollable desire to move the legs resulting from uncomfortable sensations. The rise in restless leg syndrome cases amongst pregnant women can be ascribed to factors such as iron deficiency, enlarged blood volume, weight gain, fluid retention, sleep disturbances, along with genetic and pre-existing conditions. Utilizing a maternity pillow can assist in relieving restless leg syndrome in pregnant women by delivering enhanced leg support and boosting circulation while sleeping. For example, a report from the National Library of Medicine, a US-based institution, revealed in May 2022 that the incidence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) markedly escalated during pregnancy, with a jump to 41.0% during the third trimester from 15.7% in the first trimester. Hence, the escalating occurrence of restless leg syndrome in pregnant women is stimulating the expansion of the maternity pillow market.
