Soaring birth rates in developed economies are contributing to the global baby boom. In Asian countries such as India and China are characterized by high fertility rates due to factors such as effects of religion, inadequate supply of family welfare services, and persistent issue of poverty. Thus, an increasingly large number of parturient women across these countries creates high demand for human milk as well as breast pumps. Governments from developed and developing nations are investing heavily on healthcare, especially mother and childcare. In many Asia Pacific countries, governments have taken several initiatives for encouraging insurance providers to make provisions in insurance policies to cover equipment and services that promote breastfeeding, including breast pumps and lactation counselling, without incurring any cost to the patients. The governments are also investing in the improvement of the human milk bank infrastructure in their respective countries. Such initiatives are augmenting the demand for the breast pumps in Asia Pacific.

Asia Pacific is highly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak has led to a shortage of important life-saving medical tools and devices, along with many other significant medical supplies that can help curb the spread of infection, in the region. Lockdown restrictions imposed by countries and disruptions in the operations of manufacturing units have created a gap in the supply for a broad range of devices such as nipple care products, breast pumps, breast milk storage bags, breast milk bottles, nipple shields, and breast shells. Moreover, a shift in priorities from convenience products to necessary supplies, mainly the COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment tools, have led to decline in the production and sales of breast pumps to a certain extent.

Major factors driving the growth of the market include high women employment rates, increasing birth rate, and growing healthcare investments by private and government sectors. However, the high cost of breast pumps along with low awareness regarding the same, particularly in developing countries, restrains the market growth in Asia Pacific.

Koninklijke Philips N.V., Pigeon Corporation, Ardo, Ameda Inc., Medela, Albert, and Mayborn Group Limited are among the leading companies operating in the Asia Pacific breast pump market.
