Changes in societal acceptance of breastfeeding and programs that incentivize it contribute to the market's growth. For instance, health services offer breast pump incentives to encourage continued breastfeeding, appealing to new mothers who prioritize convenience. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global rate of exclusive breastfeeding for infants under six months increased by 10% from 2013 to 2023. This trend indicates a growing acceptance and practice of breastfeeding, potentially driving the demand for breast pumps.
Marketing campaigns increasingly position breast pumps as essential tools for modern motherhood. These efforts shape consumer perceptions and raise awareness about breast pump products, further stimulating market demand.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that at six months, 55.8% of infants received some breast milk, while 24.9% were exclusively breastfed. This high initiation rate suggests a significant potential market for breast pumps as mothers seek to maintain breastfeeding while managing other responsibilities, thereby accelerating industry expansion.
