BABY STROLLER MARKET SEGMENTATION

This research report includes detailed segmentation by

• Product type
• Seat type
• Distribution
• Geography

INSIGHTS BY PRODUCTS

The standard stroller segment has a high preference among parents. Durability and multi-functional features are the major factors that are making these prams highly popular. The majority of demand can be witnessed in countries such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand.

Lightweight prams are one of the fastest-growing segments. Latin America will 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.

INSIGHTS BY SEAT TYPE

The single stroller segment is the dominant segment in terms of revenue and unit shipment. The convertible pram type is 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 Asia Pacific region is estimated to pose an incremental revenue of over $150 million in the next five years.

Single stroller constituted more than one-third of the shares in 2019, and the scenario is expected to remain consistent during the forecast period. The APAC region is estimated to have an incremental growth of 1.81 million units in the next five years.

INSIGHTS BY DISTRIBUTION

Parents are willing to invest in high-quality and durable products. This is contributing to the growth of offline distribution 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.

The increasing number of young parent communities and the growing relevance of consumer education on childcare has contributed to the popularity of online marketplaces. The trend of e-commerce sites and internet penetration has enforced the majority of parents to rely on online sources. North America and Europe are the major regions for the online distribution channel.

INSIGHTS BY GEOGRAPHY

The penetration and acceptance of baby prams are 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 significant difference in the number of units sold in the 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 market in 2019. Travel systems 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 share is highly fragmented and characterized by the presence of diversified global, regional, and local vendors. The global players are increasing their footprint in the market due to vast infrastructure and R&D support. Regional manufacturers may find it increasingly difficult to compete in terms of reliability and price. The competitive environment is likely to intensify further with an increase in innovations and M&As. Artsana, Newell, Dorel Industries, Goodbaby, and Uppababy are expected to have noteworthy shares in the global industry during the forecast period.
