Top 8 Companies in the Global Breast Pumps Market in 2024

The global breast pumps market was valued at USD 3.43 billion in 2023, driven by the increasing demand for breast pumps, rising population of working women, and growing disposable income across the globe. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period 2024-2032 to reach a value of USD 8.49 billion by 2032.

A breast pump is a medical product used by lactating women to extract milk from their breasts for their infants. These devices help maintain or increase a woman's breast milk supply, relieve engorged breasts and plugged milk ducts, or pull-out inverted nipples so a nursing baby can latch on more easily. Moreover, breast milk is expressed by women who return to work after giving birth so that the milk can be fed to the infant through a bottle. In addition, breast pumps comprise a breast shield that settles over the nipple, a pump that works like a vacuum to express the milk, and a detachable container for collecting milk, which can be manual or powered by batteries.

The market for breast pumps is growing rapidly with increasing technological advancements, enabling innovative product launches by the market players. For instance, in January 2023, a leading baby brand, revolutionising the baby care products domain with its advanced and unique offerings, MAM, launched new wearable breast pumps for lactating mothers. The pumps have been strictly researched and developed by the MAM R&D team and boast four unique features including a comfortable and discreet design, suitable for a range of breast sizes as it comes with 3 comfortable and flexible funnel inserts in varying sizes (15mm, 17mm, and 21mm), and an explicit stimulation mode that mimics a baby’s sucking behaviour stimulating the milk flow. This launch aligns perfectly with the company’s commitment to making motherhood easier for women while providing immense comfort and the best breastfeeding solutions. This launch is poised to significantly drive market growth as the innovation is likely to be adopted well by the consumers.

In July 2024, the Cimilre Breast Pumps received the “Breast Pump Technology Innovation of the Year” award at the Baby Innovation Awards. It is an independent recognition platform that showcases the most innovative companies, services, and products in the highly competitive baby care industry. The Cimilre S7 Dual Pro Rechargeable Breast Pump comprises dual motor pumps. It enables easy control on each side independently or simultaneously adjusting cycle speeds and suction strength in Massage and Expression SYNC Modes. The breast pump has a wide range of suction levels including 1-5 levels in Massage Mode and 6-12 levels in Expression Mode. The S7 Dual Pro is rechargeable and lightweight with a sleek handle, soft night light, and a backlit LCD screen. All pump parts are BPA, BPS, and phthalate free. Such recognition for the companies that are revolutionising the breast pump market adds credibility to the company’s products positioning them higher in the market. This, in turn, enables widespread recognition, and increased adoption of the product by healthcare providers, and consumers, stimulating market growth.
