Moreover, health and safety concerns also play a significant role in driving the baby feeding bottles market. Parents are increasingly conscious about the materials used in the production of bottles and their potential impact on their child's health. This has led to a shift in demand towards safer alternatives, such as BPA-free plastic bottles, glass bottles, or stainless-steel bottles. For instance, significant health issues include thyroid, brain abnormalities, breast and prostate cancer, infertility, and heart disorders are all linked to the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). Thus, many market participants are focusing on increasing their businesses by providing cutting-edge and BPA-free baby feeding bottles.
