Market Overview:
The Global Infant Sling Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for baby carriers and slings across the globe, owing to their benefits such as easy handling and portability. In addition, the growing awareness about the benefits of using infant slings is also propelling market growth. Based on type, the global infant sling market can be segmented into horizontal type, front facing type, face-to-face type, back type and others. The front facing type segment is anticipated to account for a major share of the global infant sling market in 2018 due its popularity among parents for close interaction with their babies while carrying them around. Based on application, the global infant sling market can be divided into 0-3 months, 3-6 months 6-12 months and others segments.
Product Definition:
An infant sling is a fabric carrier that holds an infant close to the wearer's body, often supporting the baby in a cradle or hammock position. Slings can be used for infants up to about 18 months old and are often used to provide breast-feeding support. They can also help calm an agitated baby. Infant slings have been shown to improve bonding between parents and children, and may also promote better sleep for both parents and infants.
Horizontal Type:
Horizontal type slings are used to carry infants across the body or back and forth from one shoulder to another. They can be carried by using a harness or without a harness. Horizontal type slings are made up of different materials like cotton, polyester, fleece, leather and metal among others.
Front Facing Type:
The front facing type is the slings that are facing towards the front of an infant. It helps in supporting infants who cannot sit upright and are too weak to hold their own head up. Front-facing slings allow infants to face forward, which enables them to see from their own point of view. These types of slings can be used for both babies and children as they provide support for newborns until they can sit upright.
Application Insights:
0-3 months application segment held the largest share of over 60.0% in 2017. The demand for infant slings is significantly high during the first three months as compared to later stages as most of the consumers are looking for options other than conventional baby carriers and strollers. Face-to-face type accounted for a significant market share in terms of revenue in 2017 owing to various advantages such as proper support, close contact with baby, easy adjustment and better control over baby¢â‚¬â„¢s body movements.
The face-to-face sling has been considered an effective method by numerous parents due to its ability to offer total comfort and security even when used on a daily basis.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global infant sling market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Factors such as high purchasing power of consumers, increasing number of product launches and innovations are anticipated to drive the demand for baby products including infant slings over the next eight years.
Asia Pacific is expected to be one of fastest growing regions with a CAGR exceeding 5% from 2018 to 2030 owing to rapid urbanization and rising disposable income especially in China and India among other developing countries in Asia Pacific region. Infant mortality rate (IMR) has declined steadily over past few decades which indicates improvement in public health infrastructure, thereby driving demand for baby products including infant slings over projected period from 2018 till 2030 (see Table 1).
Europe also accounted for a significant share followed by North America due primarily on higher adoption rates of western lifestyle coupled with relatively higher birth rate particularly among European nations such as Germany, France, Italy etc.
