The emergence of postpartum care centers is challenging traditional practices in modern women's postpartum recovery. This industry successfully meets market demands, expanding its reach to numerous Asian countries and even Western countries. Despite global growth, the development of industries varies significantly among countries and regions, with no academic research on the market of the industry. This study sought to investigate the current global status of postpartum care center industry development, discern industry trends, and identify growth factors. This research categorizes the industry market into four developmental states: geographical origin, country with cultural adaptation and strong policy support, country with cultural adaptation but weak policy control, and country with the industry primarily serving Chinese communities due to incomplete cultural adaptation. Additionally, it was found that the major factors contributing to the uneven development of the industry are cultural beliefs, policy support, economic factors, and effective marketing strategies.
