Human Milk Bank Management Market Size is expected to grow at a 8.6% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Human milk banks are establishments that gather, treat, and preserve human milk to provide it to neonates who require it for medical reasons. Lactating mothers provide breast milk to their infants. Although it is not of biological origin, the provided milk contains all the essential nutrients necessary for a baby to commence their nutritional journey on a favourable note. When a woman is unable to breastfeed her infant due to any circumstance, the human milk bank intervenes to fulfil the need for human milk according to medical requirements. Infants are unable to survive without breast milk since it contains the immune-enhancing immunoglobulin M (IgM) that promotes their well-being for one year. In addition, human milk banks are being given preferential treatment as healthcare funding increases. The global human milk bank industry is projected to grow substantially in the next five years, driven by investments from both commercial and public sources.
However, the market growth is hampered by the lack of knowledge criteria for the safety and health of the human milk bank management market and the product's inability to prevent fog in environments with dramatic temperature fluctuations or high humidity human milk bank management because the importance of human milk banking is unknown in many areas. Fewer requests for donor human milk, inadequate donations, and limited donor recruiting could be the outcomes. Supply and demand for donor milk are affected by the number of nursing moms prepared to part with it. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, several things occurred: fewer infants ended up in the neonatal intensive care unit, the volume of milk donations decreased, and fewer individuals were involved in donating and receiving milk. Human milk bank activities gradually returned to normal as the epidemic's force waned; the number of recipients and the amount of qualified milk donated both witnessed tremendous increases.
The human milk bank management market is segmented into end-users and applications. The end users segment is segmented into hospitals, milk bank centres, and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). By application, the market is segmented into preterm infants and full-term infants.
The hospital's human milk bank management market is expected to lead with a major global market share. Hospitals purchase the vast bulk of donated milk. It is common practice to take a sick or premature baby to the hospital's delivery department or neonatal care unit for treatment. Breast milk is essential for developing a newborn's immune system and gastrointestinal wellness. Breast milk from a woman who is very sick could not always be available. On the other hand, donor milk is better.
The interior components industry makes up the bulk of human milk bank usage because the increased incidence of premature deliveries due to maternal or infant health problems is one rationale for the upsurge. Babies' immune systems receive a major boost from nursed human milk. Babies born prematurely have an extreme demand for donated milk from milk banks in neonatal intensive care units, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.
The North American human milk bank management market is expected to record the remarkable market share in revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to the strong healthcare and medical research system that is well-known in the area. North America's human milk banking networks are highly developed, with many milk banks. Hospitals and nonprofits frequently partner with these milk banks. In addition, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow rapidly in the global human milk bank management market because there is a growing consensus that premature and sick infants can benefit from donor human milk and that this practice should be supported.
