Breast pumps refer to the medical devices regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used by the lactating mothers to ensure uninterrupted milk supply to their infants when away from home. Breast pumps based on the mode of operation are classified into four major types namely manual, single electric, double electric and hospital grade breast pumps. Based on the design, there are two main types of breast pumps available; closed and open systems. Open systems do not contain a barrier between the milk collection kit and the pump tubing due to which collected milk is susceptible to contamination, while closed pumps prevent contamination due to the presence of a barrier between the collection kit and pump tubing. Currently, majority of the breast pumps available represent closed systems. Changing lifestyles and increasing number of women prioritizing their career along with their child, have emerged as the major factors impacting the growth of this market.
