Industry Overview
The global wearable breast pump market size is expected to grow from USD 0.45 billion in 2021 to USD 0.91 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 15.65% during the forecast period. A breast pump is a mechanical device that is used by lactating mothers to extract milk from their breasts. These breast pumps are used to maintain or extract a woman's milk supply, relieve engorged breasts and blocked milk ducts, and pull out flat or inverted nipples so that a nursing newborn may latch on to its mother's breast more easily. In order to encourage milk supply when a baby is unable to latch on and breastfeed, doctors advise breast pumps. There are several reasons why mothers prefer to give their breast milk to their newborns. The milk includes many antibodies that help an infant develop a strong immune system and reduce the risk of contracting infections. These tools promote milk's adaptability and assist working mothers in storing milk for newborns.
