LifeVac complements traditional first aid methods by utilizing patented suction technology to quickly and safely remove airway obstructions. Its effectiveness makes it especially valuable in cases where conventional procedures fail or are difficult to apply, such as for infants, elderly individuals, or pregnant women.
“Thanks to its unique suction mechanism, LifeVac offers a safe and effective solution for clearing airway blockages in a non-invasive manner,” emphasized Marcin Kotuła, first aid instructor at Impuls Life, during his presentation at Kids’ Time.
Easy to use, LifeVac is suitable for parents, teachers, caregivers, and medical professionals, requiring no specialized training. This groundbreaking innovation has the potential to save lives in critical situations.
Kids’ Time Business Forum: The Future of the Children’s Industry
A key component of the fair was the Kids’ Time Business Forum, a knowledge-sharing platform that brought together industry experts for discussions and presentations on market trends, marketing strategies, and the future of the children’s sector in response to shifting demographic and economic conditions.
Current Market Trends and Industry Outlook
The Polish children’s products market faces challenges due to declining birth rates. According to PAP, in 2023, the market was valued at PLN 17.86 billion, reflecting a 2.7% increase from the previous year. However, forecasts predict a slowdown in growth, with a projected nominal increase of 2.2% in 2024 and a real growth rate of just 0.3%. Between 2024 and 2029, the average annual growth is expected to reach 1.9%.
Despite these challenges, Kids’ Time 2025 demonstrated that the Polish children’s industry remains vibrant and forward-thinking. The showcased products emphasized high quality, safety, and sustainability, meeting the growing expectations of conscious consumers. Attending this event is not only an opportunity to explore the latest trends but also a chance to establish valuable business connections and exchange insights with industry leaders.
