Moreover, the electric breast pumps market has seen significant growth over the last few decades, owing to increasing product launches by key players, and rising R&D activities. For instance, in November 2020, Spectra Baby USA launched a new electric breast pump ’the Synergy Gold dual-powered electric breast pump’. It offers breastfeeding mothers cutting-edge technology that enables personalized pumping sessions. Moms that are used to single-pumping and alternating sides may easily double-pump thanks to the new design, which uses one separate motor for each side and is independently adjustable. Such innovations are expected to increase the use of electric breast pumps over the forecast duration.
