Key Market Trends
Closed System Breast Pumps is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period
It has been observed that the open breast pump is comparatively less hygienic than the closed breast pumps and high usage rates as these systems are relatively more hygienic and contamination-free.
The COVID-19 virus can persist on surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 3 days but transmission of the virus can be prevented with cleaning and use of disinfectant. Moreover, closed breast pumps are more hygienic than open breast pumps. This indicates closed breast pumps are expected to rise demand in current COVID-19 and drives market growth.
Closed system breast pumps provide a barrier between a collection kit and motor which prevents contamination of the collected milk. The barrier also ensures that milk particles do not enter the pump tubing or motor, thereby preventing contamination and maintaining sterility.
According to a research article by Mi Kyung Lee et al., published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health January 2020, estimated that approximately 800,000 lives could be saved by improving breastfeeding rates and duration. In Asia, an estimated 300,000-350,000 child deaths could be prevented with optimal breastfeeding and the majority would be under 12 months of age.
According to Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), closed breast pump provides more hygienic milk collection mechanism as it is not exposed to air at all while the open system does not have a barrier between the milk collection kit and the pumping unit, presenting a possible risk of milk contamination from impurities such as bacteria, smoke, and dust in the air and sometimes mold. According to the Centre for Economic and Political Research, in Europe, battery-powered breast segments are dominating the market because of their portability.
Closed system breast pumps provide better safety for the child’s health, ensure maximum removal of impurities, and are easy to clean. The introduction of portable instruments such as Ameda HygieniKit by Ameda is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Therefore, it is expected to increase demand for closed breast pumps over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold Major Market Share Over the Forecast Period
The major factors driving the market growth include high market penetration of breast pumps in United States on account of high women employment rates, high healthcare expenditure and well established healthcare infrastructure.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and medical experts, Breast milk has important immune-boosting benefits for both fighting short-term infections and improving long-lasting health. In addition, research studies suggested that breastfeeding mothers who’ve had COVID-19 have antibodies in their breast milk that may help pass immunity to their babes. This indicates even during COVID-19 there was no interruption in giving milk by mothers to babies which shows positive impact on the market.
Furthermore, under Affordable Care Act, a working mother is entitled to take breaks during work hours in order to express breast milk for her baby. In addition, the presence of laws such as allowing public breastfeeding for protecting women and promoting infant health is anticipated to increase awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding and subsequently drive market growth.
As per WHO, breastfeeding is highly beneficial to infants and mothers. The government of the United States initiated many awareness policies, like Healthy People 2010, for encouraging breastfeeding. The US Department of Labor has stated that about 70% of the mothers with children are full-time employees as of 2017.
Many working mothers are preferring to express their milk with the breast pump and store it for the baby, while they are at work. Electric and automated breast pumps have made the process of pumping really simple and less time-consuming. They are available at affordable prices for most of the working women in the United States. Hence, with the increasing awareness about the benefits of breast milk, the market is expected to grow in the United States.
