The global baby prams & strollers market is estimated to witness a moderate growth rate of around 5% during the period 2019-2028. Prams are used for managing babies’ movements when they are lying or in a sitting position whereas baby strollers are a model with an upright seat convenient for older babies. Growing urbanization, changing lifestyles of people, an increase in the birth rate along with the rising safety concerns, and an increase in the spending on baby care accessories are some of the factors driving the global baby prams & strollers market across the globe. Moreover, soaring technological advancements such as multi-functional features and customization as per consumer’s demand in baby care products is further escalating the market growth. There is an increasing trend of travelling among millennial and baby boomer which has amplified the scope of easy traveling with babies, hence surging the demand for baby prams & strollers.
Online distribution channels gaining traction
Parents are prepared to spend on high-quality and durable strollers as prams are relatively expensive and require a lot of pre-purchase research, which contributes to the growth of strollers’ demand through offline distribution channels such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, departmental, and specialty stores. In Asia Pacific and Latin America, where knowledge and benefits of baby prams are comparably low, offline stores are more prevalent. Because the majority of end users in the region are first-time purchasers, they are more willing to take risks with their purchases. In addition to this, the appeal of online markets for baby products has been increased by the rising number of young parent groups and the growing importance of consumer education on childcare. The popularity of e-commerce sites and the widespread use of the internet has pushed the majority of parents to rely on online resources to compare different brands. The Asia Pacific and Latin America are likely to see rapid expansion in the online category throughout the forecast period.
North America to hold a significant share in 2021
North America contributed a significant market share in the global baby prams & strollers market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its position over the forecast period. The growing number of single parents in the region has a positive influence on the demand for baby care products. Usage of baby strollers makes the traveling process convenient for single parents, thereby, growing its demand. Moreover, the growing focus of industry players, such as Cybex and Chicco, on the development of baby prams & strollers in the region is further augmenting the regional market growth.
In European countries, the market is likely to get benefited from the growing influx of industry players along with the increasing technological advancements in baby care products. Moreover, government regulations mandating the usage of baby seats while traveling in personal cars are further driving the demand for baby prams & strollers in the European market. In the Asia Pacific, the baby prams & strollers market is expected to grow substantially due to an increase in the infant and toddler population in countries such as China, India, and Thailand.
