Global Breast Pump Market Fostered by Government Initiatives

“Global Breast Pump Market Fostered by Government Initiatives”
The global breast pump market is growing at a healthy rate. Breast pumps are now being increasingly used, particularly in the emerging nations, owing to technological advancements, rising disposable income, mounting women employment rate and government initiatives.

Breast pumps are medical devices which enable extraction of milk from the breast of a lactating mother. Breastfeeding ensures that the child is not deprived of the essential nutrients and minerals which they acquire from the mother’s milk. A breast pump helps the mother in storing the milk beforehand so that it can be fed to the baby later. These devices are often employed by the women who continue to breastfeed their children while continuing their employment. Nowadays, doctors also recommend the use of a breast pump in case the child fails to suckle. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Breast Pump Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the global breast pump market was worth US$ 642 Million in 2017. The report further anticipates the market to reach US$ 953 Million by 2023, at a projected CAGR of nearly 7% over the forecast period.
