Product Definition:
A breast shield is a device worn by nursing mothers to cover their nipples and protect them from becoming sore or cracked. Breast shields are also used to collect breast milk.
Regular Nipple Shields:
Regular nipple shields are flat, thin pieces of plastic or silicone that help in protecting the baby's mouth from getting burnt. They have a small opening at the end which is designed to fit over and around the baby's nose. The main function of these shields is to reduce saliva and drool, thereby preventing any skin irritation to the infant’s mouth.
Contact Nipple Shields:
Contact Nipple shields are thin plastic or metal sheets that are used to protect the nipples during breastfeeding. They can also be used as a substitute for breast milk feedings in infants and children.
These products have been available for decades, however with recent technological advancements they offer more comfort than traditional devices like pumps and bottles. The shields come in various sizes, shapes, materials & flavors which cater to the specific needs of mothers as well as babies.
Application Insights:
The regular nipple shield application segment dominated the global market in 2017. This is due to increasing incidence of breastfeeding related problems such as blocked ducts, inverted nipples and mastitis. As per WHO, around 90% of women get some form of lactation problem even after having a baby. Thus, increasing number of women getting affected is expected to drive the demand for breast shields over the forecast period.
Household application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising awareness about hygiene among mothers and babies across countries like India and China where majority of population practice traditional lifestyles which encourage breastfeeding for longer durations as compared with western countries.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to increasing incidence of breast cancer and rising awareness about early diagnosis. Moreover, presence of well-established healthcare facilities and high adoption rate for technologically advanced products are some other factors driving the regional growth. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period due to growing medical tourism industry, improving healthcare infrastructure, and rising incidences of breast cancer in developing countries such as India & China. In addition, increasing number of foreign investments in this region will drive product demand further. For instance, Medtronic has invested around USD X million for establishing a new manufacturing facility in Singapore with an aim to expand its lactation business unit which includes two new products under development– Breastmilk Freezer System (BF system) and Breastmilk Banker System (BMBS).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of breast shields for breastfeeding mothers and infants.
- Growing number of working mothers who are looking for convenient and easy-to-use breast shields to continue breastfeeding while working.
- Increasing demand from developing countries due to rising population and increasing disposable income among womenfolk.
