COVID-19 IMPACT


COVID-19 Pandemic Hampered Market Growth in 2020 due to the Shutdown of Manufacturing Units


The impact of COVID-19 resulted in low demand for breast pumps in 2020. This is attributed to the increasing rate of direct breastfeeding leading to a decline in adopting these devices during the pandemic. The global market witnessed a decline of -15.6% in 2020 compared to 7.4% in 2019.


The widespread disturbance commenced by COVID-19 has substantially impacted the manufacturing of these devices. The obligation of lockdown in potentially influenced areas has resulted in a halt in the supply chain of the devices, resulting in a decrease in sales.


Additionally, major companies in the market, such as Pigeon Corporation, have observed a huge loss in their revenues, according to their 2020 annual report. Nevertheless, in 2021 these companies witnessed an upsurge in revenue, chiefly driven by the recommencement of manufacturing operations.



  • For instance, Pigeon Corporation's Lansinoh business segment witnessed a decline of -16.9% in 2020 compared to 2019. Such a decrease in revenues is due to the decrease in the sales of these pumps.


LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Adoption of Wearable Pumps to Boost Market Growth


In recent years, the global market is expected to witnessed a trend of increasing adoption of wearable pumps. Wearable pumps are devices that users wear in a nursing bra or a hands-free pumping bra. These devices are more beneficial than traditional pumps as they don’t have cords, and lactations women can pump while working.


Furthermore, the growing focus of the market players to introduce advanced wearable pumps, such as silenced wearable pumps, is expected to increase the adoption of the devices among mothers, thereby propelling the market growth in the forecast timeframe.



  • In October 2022, Momcozy launched the new S9 Pro wearable pump. It has long-lasting battery life and offers hands-free convenience and comfort for mothers.


Such a strong focus of companies on developing wearable pumps coupled with the rising adoption of these pumps among mothers is expected to provide long-term opportunities for market growth.


BREAST PUMP MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Increasing Rate of Working Women to Increase the Adoption of Breast Pumps


There has been a substantial increase in the women's employment rate, increasing demand for these devices among working women.



  • According to Catalyst Inc. published statistics in the U.K., around 53% of women aged 16 to 64 were employed in 1971, compared to 72.7% of women of the same age who were engaged in 2020.


Various benefits associated with these devices, such as accessibility, portability, and convenience of carrying pumped milk in a bottle in advance for comfortable feeding, are expected to increase the adoption of these devices in the near future. Moreover, it is also helpful for mothers who underwent breast surgery to feed their babies.


Furthermore, the introduction of wearable pumps by market players has increased the adoption of the devices among working women due to their portability features, allowing women to multitask.



  • For instance, in September 2021, Chiaro Technology Limited (Elvie) launched Elvie Stride, a wearable pump. This product is broadly covered by insurance in the U.S.


Such developments in these pumps and the rising women's employment rate are expected to reflect a positive market growth trajectory over the forecast period.


The global demand for breast pumps is expected to rise due to growing consumer awareness and favorable government initiatives. In the near future, an increase in breastfeeding complications among women is likely to drive the demand for breast pumps. These complications include issues such as poor attachment, breast engorgement and nipple pain.


Rapid Launch of Breast Pumps to Propel Market Growth


In recent years, the awareness of women's health devices in developed and developing countries has significantly increased the adoption of these devices among mothers, especially working mothers.


Furthermore, companies operating in the market have increased their focus on developing and launching advanced pumps for lactating women.



  • For instance, in June 2022, Imani USA launched the Imani i1 pump in the U.S. market. It is a hospital grade pump and has a boost mode that helps empty mom's breasts to keep her milk supply up and active.

  • In April 2022, Ardo medical A.G. launched its latest addition, the Ardo Alyssa pump. It is a double pumping device that is used as consumer grade. 


Moreover, the increasing clinical research on these devices is expected to move product development and launches strongly in the future.



  • For instance, according to an article published by the International Conference on Harmonization GCP Guideline (ICH GCP), one study was initiated in 2020 to determine the feasibility and potential benefits of a mHealth intervention to increase breast milk pumping frequency and production in mothers delivering critical ill infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care units.


Such development and launches of these devices by manufacturers are expected to increase their adoption, thereby propelling the market growth during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Association of Adverse Effects with Breast Pumps to Hinder Market Growth


Adverse effects of these devices that women can experience include reduced milk supply, delay in the mother's recovery after childbirth, nipple & breast tissue damage, and engorgement, which are anticipated to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.


Furthermore, these devices can harm the growth of the baby as bottle feeding can decay the baby's teeth, deplete the nutrients of breast milk, and also there are chances of milk contamination.



  • For instance, according to an article published by Elsevier B.V. in 2022, in the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) dataset, 66.0% of pump devices had malfunctioned. Thus, these issues potentially cause infection and damage, reducing the quality of life.


Such adverse effects associated with these devices are expected to restrict the market during the forecast period.
