The presence of favorable demographics in the market can significantly influence demand and growth.

Manufacturers and marketers frequently tailor their goods and advertising techniques to meet the requirements of specific target populations by considering these demographic factors. This will enable companies to position their products and services better to satisfy the needs of their target customers, thereby increasing demand and driving market growth. Additionally, growing awareness about lactation massagers is a significant trend observed in recent years. This increased awareness results from various factors, including educational efforts, improved access to information, and the advocacy of healthcare professionals and breastfeeding support organizations. Many organizations and websites provide educational resources, videos, and guides on breastfeeding and breastfeeding aids. These resources help mothers understand the benefits and proper use of lactation massagers. As the awareness about it increases, the market expansion will boost in the coming years.
However, adopting breastmilk substitutes, such as infant formula, varies widely and is influenced by various factors, including cultural practices, maternal health, lifestyle, and individual circumstances. Healthcare providers, including paediatricians and lactation consultants, are critical in advising parents on infant feeding options. Their recommendations can influence the choice to use a formula. In such cases, formula feeding may be the safer option. Due to the rise in the adoption of breastfeeding substitutes, the growth of this market will be hampered.

These stores may have lactation massagers among their offerings.
