The increasing number of working women in North America is one of the major factors expected to propel the growth of the baby care products market in the region during the assessment period. Baby food holds a dominant share in baby care products owing to the widespread consumption of baby food and formulations by American babies. Furthermore, the baby diaper market has a high market penetration in the region owing to a large share of the urban population. Moreover, good growth in e-commerce is further anticipated to accelerate the sales of baby care products like baby diapers, baby food, prams, strollers, and car seat. Furthermore, the burgeoning propensity towards environment-friendly baby products like baby diapers is set to provide the necessary impetus to the baby care market in the region in the upcoming years.

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease had a positive impact on the North America baby care products market. The United States in North America was one of the most affected countries by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic led to bulk purchases of baby care products such as diapers, which led to a surge in the baby care products market in North America. However, the normal buying trend continued after the lockdown period and the market is anticipated to continue with its normal pace from 2021 onwards.

Rise in the number of working women.

As the working population of women has been increasing in North America, the busy lives of parents are leaving them with less time for their children, which is prompting the demand for baby care products for convenience, which is anticipated to propel the growth of baby care products market in North America during the forecast period. According to Catalyst, the proportion of working women in Canada 15 years and older was 37.6% in 1976 which has increased by 25% since then, and consequently, women made up 47.4% of the working population in the country in 2019. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the participation of women in work aged 16 years and older has increased in the U.S. from 34% in 1950 to 57% in 2016 and is still increasing. Also, the proportion of women in higher positions has been increasing, and the high responsibilities in those positions demand more time and efforts, which further prompts the tendency to look for convenience products for their babies. In 2019, nearly 26% of the S&P 500 board seats in the U.S. were held by women. Also, in Canada, 27.6% of S&P/TSX board seats were held by women as of December 2019.

Growth in e-commerce.
