Birth Announcement Services Market Outlook

The global market size for Birth Announcement Services was valued at $1.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to a variety of factors, including increasing urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and growing awareness about personalized services. As families become more inclined towards celebrating significant life events like the birth of a child, the demand for unique and customized birth announcements is set to rise substantially.

One of the primary growth factors for this market is the increasing preference for customized and personalized services. More parents are willing to invest in bespoke birth announcement cards, digital announcements, and even videos that can be shared across various platforms. Customization options, such as choosing the design, material, and even the type of announcement, have caught the attention of modern parents who desire something unique and memorable. This trend is fueling the market's growth as service providers continually innovate to meet these evolving consumer demands.

Another significant factor driving this market is technological advancement. With the advent of online services, it has become easier for parents to design and order birth announcements from the comfort of their homes. Many companies offer user-friendly interfaces where customers can choose templates, customize text, and even upload photos. This ease of use has led to higher adoption rates of online birth announcement services. Additionally, the integration of augmented reality (AR) and other advanced technologies is expected to further enhance customer engagement and satisfaction.

In the realm of personalized services, Personalized Greeting Cards have emerged as a significant trend, offering a unique way for individuals to express their sentiments. These cards allow for a high degree of customization, enabling users to select specific designs, messages, and even incorporate personal photographs. This level of personalization resonates well with modern consumers who value unique and meaningful expressions. As a result, the demand for personalized greeting cards has seen a notable increase, further driving innovation and creativity within the industry. Companies are continually exploring new ways to enhance personalization options, ensuring that each card is a true reflection of the sender's intentions.

Furthermore, the growing influence of social media cannot be overlooked. Parents today are more likely to share their joy and happiness on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Birth announcement services now offer digital formats specifically tailored for these platforms, making it easier for parents to share their news widely and instantly. Social media's role in spreading awareness about these services and providing a platform for showcasing them has contributed significantly to the market's expansion.

Geographically, the market exhibits varying growth rates, with North America and Europe leading in terms of market share due to higher disposable incomes and a strong culture of personalized services. However, regions like Asia Pacific are catching up quickly, driven by increasing urbanization and a growing middle class willing to spend on such services. Emerging economies in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are also expected to witness substantial growth, supported by increasing awareness and improving economic conditions.

Service Type Analysis

The Birth Announcement Services market can be segmented by service type into Online Services, Print Services, and Custom Design Services. Online Services have gained significant traction over the years due to the convenience they offer. Parents can now design and order birth announcements from their homes, making the process more convenient than ever. Online services often come with various digital tools that allow users to customize templates, add personalized messages, and choose from a wide array of design options. These services also provide instant sharing options on social media platforms, which is particularly appealing to the younger generation.

Print Services remain a popular choice among traditi

The graph illustrates the number of babies born in the United States from 1995 to 2025. The x-axis represents the years, labeled from '95 to '25, while the y-axis shows the annual number of births. Over this 30-year period, birth numbers peaked at 4,316,233 in 2007 and reached a low of 3,596,017 in 2023. The data reveals relatively stable birth rates from 1995 to 2010, with slight fluctuations, followed by a gradual decline starting around 2017. The information is presented in a line graph format, effectively highlighting the long-term downward trend in U.S. birth numbers over the specified timeframe.

Today, globally, women of childbearing age have an average of approximately 2.2 children over the course of their lifetime. In pre-industrial times, most women could expect to have somewhere between five and ten live births throughout their lifetime; however, the demographic transition then sees fertility rates fall significantly. Looking ahead, it is believed that the global fertility rate will fall below replacement level in the 2050s, which will eventually lead to population decline when life expectancy plateaus. Recent decades Between the 1950s and 1970s, the global fertility rate was roughly five children per woman - this was partly due to the post-WWII baby boom in many countries, on top of already-high rates in less-developed countries. The drop around 1960 can be attributed to China's "Great Leap Forward", where famine and disease in the world's most populous country saw the global fertility rate drop by roughly 0.5 children per woman. Between the 1970s and today, fertility rates fell consistently, although the rate of decline noticeably slowed as the baby boomer generation then began having their own children. Replacement level fertility Replacement level fertility, i.e. the number of children born per woman that a population needs for long-term stability, is approximately 2.1 children per woman. Populations may continue to grow naturally despite below-replacement level fertility, due to reduced mortality and increased life expectancy, however, these will plateau with time and then population decline will occur. It is believed that the global fertility rate will drop below replacement level in the mid-2050s, although improvements in healthcare and living standards will see population growth continue into the 2080s when the global population will then start falling.

The total fertility rate of the world has dropped from around 5 children per woman in 1950, to 2.2 children per woman in 2025, which means that women today are having fewer than half the number of children that women did 75 years ago. Replacement level fertility This change has come as a result of the global demographic transition, and is influenced by factors such as the significant reduction in infant and child mortality, reduced number of child marriages, increased educational and vocational opportunities for women, and the increased efficacy and availability of contraception. While this change has become synonymous with societal progress, it does have wide-reaching demographic impact - if the global average falls below replacement level (roughly 2.1 children per woman), as is expected to happen in the 2050s, then this will lead to long-term population decline on a global scale. Regional variations When broken down by continent, Africa is the only region with a fertility rate above the global average, and, alongside Oceania, it is the only region with a fertility rate above replacement level. Until the 1980s, the average woman in Africa could expect to have 6-7 children over the course of their lifetime, and there are still several countries in Africa where women can still expect to have 5 or more children in 2025. Historically, Europe has had the lowest fertility rates in the world over the past century, falling below replacement level in 1975. Europe's population has grown through a combination of migration and increasing life expectancy, however even high immigration rates could not prevent its population from going into decline in 2021.

Live births and stillbirths annual summary statistics, by sex, age of mother, whether within marriage or civil partnership, percentage of non-UK-born mothers, birth rates and births by month and mothers' area of usual residence.

In 2023, the crude birth rate in live births per 1,000 inhabitants in India stood at 16.15. Between 1960 and 2023, the figure dropped by 26.75, though the decline followed an uneven course rather than a steady trajectory.

CBS is in transition towards a new classification of the population by origin. Greater emphasis is now placed on where a person was born, aside from where that person’s parents were born. The term ‘migration background’ is no longer used in this regard. The main categories western/non-western are being replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification is being implemented gradually in tables and publications on population by origin.

Data available from: 1950 Most of the data is available as of 1950 with the exception of the live born children by country of birth of the mother and origin country of the mother (from 2021, previous periods will be added at a later time), stillborn children by duration of pregnancy (24+) (from 1991), average number of children per male (from 1996) and the average age of the father at childbirth (from 1996).

Status of the figures: All data recorded in this publication are final data.

Changed on 15 augustus 2025: The 2023 figures on stillbirths and (multiple) births are final. Final figures of 2024 have been added.

When will new figures be published? In the third quarter of 2026 final figures of 2025 will be published in this publication.

These statistics are derived from the National Community Child Health Database (NCCHD). This data source is provided to the Welsh Government by Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW). The NCCHD was established in 2004 and consists of anonymised records for all children born, resident or treated in Wales and born after 1987. The database brings together data from local Community Child Health System databases which are held by local health boards (LHBs), and its main function is to provide an online record of a child’s health and care from birth to leaving school age. The statistics used in this release are based on the data recorded at birth and shortly after birth. Full details of every data item available on both the Maternity Indicators dataset and National Community Child Health Database are available through the NHS Wales Data Dictionary: http://www.datadictionary.wales.nhs.uk/#!WordDocuments/datasetstructure20.htm. Gestational age is based on the best estimate available for when pregnancy started, based on either date of last menstrual period or from an ultrasound scan.

This dataset provides a count by year of first names given to babies born in Sonoma County. Current year data is updated monthly. In the 1800’s, the processes for birth registration were not as established as they are today. Births could have been registered in other places, such as churches, and not all births were reported. Given this, the number of births recorded early on may only represent a subset of the actual births that occurred during that time period. Blank names mean that the birth certificate did not have a name listed. There is no requirement that the baby's name be determined prior to the birth certificate being registered. Birth certificates can be amended through the state at a later date to add the first name, if the individual desires to do so.

Only with the annual financial statements will the data become definitive. It is possible that a birth e.g. from 28. It was not reported until the end of January 2021, i.e. after the annual accounts of Statistik Stadt Zürich. In this data set, the effective date of birth (28.

California Birth Report totals by Birth Characteristics to inform the public, stakeholders, and researchers.

The DHCS Medi-Cal Birth Statistics tables present the descriptive statistics for California resident births that occurred in a hospital setting, including data on maternal characteristics, delivery methods, and select birth outcomes such as low birthweight and preterm delivery. Tables also include key comorbidities and health behaviors known to influence birth outcomes, such as hypertension, diabetes, substance use, pre-pregnancy weight, and smoking during pregnancy.

DHCS additionally presents birth statistics for women participating in the Medi-Cal Fee-For-Service (FFS) and managed care delivery systems, as well as births financed by private insurance, births financed by other public funding sources, and births among uninsured mothers. Medi-Cal data reflect mothers that were deemed as Medi-Cal certified eligible.

Note: Data for maternal comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, and substance use have been provisionally omitted among calendar years 2020-2022 for the time being.

These statistics are derived from two data sources: the Maternity Indicators dataset (MI ds) and the National Community Child Health Database (NCCHD). Both data sources are provided to the Welsh Government by Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW). The MI ds was established in 2016. It combines records from a mother’s initial assessment with a child’s birth record and enabled Welsh Government to monitor its initial set of outcome indicators and performance measures (Maternity Indicators) which were established to measure the effectiveness and quality of Welsh maternity services. The MI ds allows us to analyse characteristics of the mother’s pregnancy and birth process. The process for producing this data extract is complex largely because there can be multiple initial assessment data and records for both initial assessments and births are not always complete. The NCCHD was established in 2004 and consists of anonymised records for all children born, resident or treated in Wales and born after 1987. The database brings together data from local Community Child Health System databases which are held by local health boards (LHBs) and its main function is to provide an online record of a child’s health and care from birth to leaving school age. The statistics used in this release are based on the data recorded at birth and shortly after birth.
