Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Breast Pumps Market- Restraints

Increasing availability of medicines: The increasing availability of medicines on the market to induce milk production is expected to hamper the growth of the breast pumps market over the forecast period. For instance, synthetic drugs such as domperidone and metoclopramide and natural herbal ingredients including shatavari, fenugreek, and torbangun, which are known to increase breast milk production in women, are available in the market. Also, some medications are prescribed to increase lactation, which can be a major hurdle for growth of the breast pumps market. For instance, Reglan (metoclopramide) and Motilium (domperidone) are two common prescription medications that may help increase milk production for inducing lactation, for relactation, and for women with low milk supply. Thus, due to such medicines, milk can be produced through hand expression; therefore, women may not use breast pumps in such cases.Key players focusing on developing advanced products with safety and reduced side effects are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Counterbalance: More awareness needs to be created among expecting mothers about the advantages that are related with the use of breast pumps. Using breast bumps will help in reducing pain in the nipples that happens due to breast engorgement among lactating mothers, which can be lessened with the use of proper breast pumps needed for doing so.
