 BABY STROLLER MARKET: SEGMENTATION

This research report includes detailed market segmentation by product type, seat type, distribution, and geography.

INSIGHTS BY PRODUCTS

Standard strollers have a high preference among parents. Durability and versatility are the major factors that are making these prams highly popular. However, certain common features that influence consumer buying behavior include well-padded seats, convertible designs, canopy expansion, shock absorption, telescoping handlebars, roomy baskets are likely to increase adoption. A majority of demand can be witnessed from countries such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, on account of the increase in disposable incomes and growth in nuclear families. 

Lightweight strollers are preferred for on-the-go purposes as they are compact, portable, and foldable. They are one of the fastest-growing type in the market due to curved handles and lightweight features. They are comparatively easier to fold than standard models, which is increasing their adoption. However, one of the major drawbacks is that they are not suitable for babies younger than 6 months old. They are mostly front facing types and have fewer features than standard models.  While Latin America is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in terms of unit shipment, Europe is likely to generate incremental revenue of over $245 million in the next five years.

With the growing trend of active and urban lifestyle, most parents prefer to take their babies out for jogging, which has given rise to jogging strollers. The significance of these prams is more prominent in North America and Europe. The availability of major features, which include compatibility with car seats, telescoping handlebars, deep reclining seats, and efficient storage facility, is driving the segment. North America is expected to pose an incremental sale of 0.23 million units. In terms of revenue, Latin America is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7%. The MEA region is expected to increase in its share due to the rise in a number of expatriates and the continuous demand for luxury goods.

INSIGHTS BY SEAT TYPE

While single strollers are the dominant segment in terms of revenue and unit shipment, the rise in the number of second and third childbirths, especially in the urban areas of MEA, Latin America, APAC, and certain parts of Europe has increased the demand for double prams. Further, affluent parents and consumer groups of US and Western European countries invest in expensive convertible prams that can be customized to accommodate the second child when needed. Convertible strollers are expected to witness an increase in demand during the forecast period. The segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period. The APAC region is estimated to pose an incremental revenue of over $150 million in the next five years.

Single strollers are the widely preferred types across the globe. They constitute more than one-third of the shares in 2019, and the scenario is expected to remain consistent during the forecast period despite the rapid growth and preference for double strollers. Moreover, these types are also more prominent as the resale value of single prams is higher than double ones. Therefore, several parents invest in high-quality single pram types before upgrading themselves to a new double pram after the birth of the second child. The APAC region is estimated to have an incremental growth of 1.81 million units in the next five years.

INSIGHTS BY DISTRIBUTION

As prams are comparatively expensive and require a lot of pre-purchase research as parents are willing to invest in high-quality and durable strollers, which contribute to the growth of offline distribution stores such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, departmental and specialty stores. The penetration of offline stores is more prominent in APAC and Latin America, where the awareness and benefits of baby prams are comparatively low. As most of the end-users in the region are first-time buyers, they tend to be more experimental in their purchase decisions. However, the increasing number of young parent communities and the growing relevance of consumer education on childcare have contributed to the popularity of online marketplaces for baby products. The trend of e-commerce sites and internet penetration has enforced the majority of parents to rely on online sources to compare several brands. With North America and Europe being major markets for the online distribution channel, APAC and Latin America are expected to witness rapid growth in the online segment during the forecast period.

INSIGHTS BY GEOGRAPHY

The penetration and acceptance of prams is high in North America and Europe. However, China, with more childbirths annually, has contributed to the growth of the APAC market along with considerable revenue generation from South Korea, Japan, and Australia. The preference of prams is region-centric, and the importance is given based on demography, age, lifestyle, and geographical trends. For instance, despite a large difference in the number of units sold in the baby stroller market in APAC and North America, the high selling price in the US and Canada can be a major differentiator that can pose a challenge to APAC vendors.

The North American baby stroller market is expected to reach over 5 million units by 2025. The high selling price of prams is one of the reasons for its dominance. It shows the willingness and consumer adoption toward convenience products in the region. The awareness and internet penetration level are the reasons for the growth of online distribution channels. Europe was ranked as the third-largest baby stroller market in 2019. Travel strollers are the fastest-growing type that can more likely generate an incremental sale of 0.16 million units in the next five years. With the slowdown in growth rates of the baby pram market in countries such as Spain, Italy, and France due to decreasing birth rates, the revenue contribution from Nordic countries and Luxembourg can help in the consistent demand. The online segment is witnessing a high growth rate in the region.

 INSIGHTS BY VENDORS

The global baby stroller market is highly fragmented, and the market is characterized by the presence of diversified global, regional, and local vendors.
