The automatic breast pumps market focuses on electrically powered devices that help mothers express milk efficiently and conveniently compared to manual pumps. These devices are widely used by working mothers, women with lactation issues, and those seeking flexibility in infant feeding. Market growth is driven by rising awareness about the benefits of breast milk, increasing numbers of working women, supportive government and healthcare initiatives for breastfeeding, and technological advancements such as portable, wearable, and smart-connected pumps. Hospitals, maternity clinics, and homecare are major end-users, with e-commerce and retail channels expanding product accessibility. North America currently leads the market due to high adoption rates and strong product availability, while Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth owing to urbanization, increasing disposable income, and growing awareness of maternal and infant health. Challenges include the high cost of advanced pumps and limited awareness in some developing regions.
The global automatic breast pumps market size was valued at USD 1.88 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 2.03 billion in 2025 to USD 3.61 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. North America dominated the automatic breast pumps market with a 45.21% share in 2024, supported by rising maternal employment rates, growing awareness of breastfeeding benefits, and technological advancements in breast pump designs for enhanced comfort and efficiency.
Growing female employment and heightened awareness of the benefits of breast pumps are key drivers. In the U.S., a rising number of women face challenges in breastfeeding due to workplace constraints—such as one in three lacking reliable access to a lactation space. Additionally, women unable to nurse due to surgery also drive demand. Many industry players are enhancing their R&D efforts to deliver advanced automatic pumps.
High costs associated with advanced automatic breast pumps constrain adoption, especially in lower-income markets such as Brazil, China, India, Poland, and Mexico. For instance, the Philips Avent Double Electric Breast Pump retails at USD 269.00.
Emerging markets like China, Brazil, and India offer significant growth potential due to rising awareness, entry of global players, and increasing working mother demographics. In Brazil, female employment reached around 53% in 2024, up from 52.1% in 2021. In India, advocacy groups like the Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI) continue raising awareness via initiatives such as World Breastfeeding Week.
