The strollers are more handy, simple to operate, and effective for on-the-go needs. Nuclear families are becoming common in India.

Thus, with increasing in the number of nuclear families, the need for strollers is increasing at a high rate.

Technological Product Innovation Will Drive the Market Growth

With the world moving toward automation and IoT, the use of smart and electronic technologies in consumer goods has gained traction in the last few years. Vendors battle with other companies in competitive markets such as baby strollers to maintain their leading position with innovative technologies and clever improvements. One such innovation is the development of e-strollers by Emmaljunga and Cybex, which are expected to be game changers. For instance, Smartbe is the first connected intelligent baby stroller. Smartbe is an all-in-one system that offers over ten safety, security, comfort, and convenience-enhancing functionalities that are controlled by Android and iOS smartphones and smart watches.

Growing Demand for Travel Products for Children will Fuel the Market Growth

Car seats have been used since the 1960s, when they were enhanced with features such as the harness feature, metal frame feature, and rear facing choice. For many years, the car seat segment was regarded as a large market where products were sold individually, and it remains so today. The increased popularity of travelling with babies and toddlers has prepared the path for the growth in a new market known as travel system strollers. For instance, Mercedes-AMG GT unveiled its limited-edition stroller in collaboration with Hartan. The design is reported to be influenced by AMG vehicles. Another company Bugaboo, in 2021, launched Bugaboo Flex, a monthly subscription service for its strollers. Customers can pay a monthly fee to access their products rather than making a one-time payment. Flexible contracts with durations of 6 to 24 months are found at for using these services. Thus, with the growing demand for travel products the market will grow at a faster rate.
