The market is expected to surge at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period.
The infant formula market is growing due to factors such as rising working mother population, increased baby health spending, and surging demand for organic baby food. The growing middle-class population in emerging and developing countries is transforming the infant formula market by requiring products that cater to working moms’ schedules.
A key factor in expanding the infant formula industry is increasing parental awareness of infant formula’s potential benefits for babies’ growth and development. Parents are more actively looking for healthier and alternative natural ingredients in infant formula, such as organic origin and clean-label ingredients.
Infant formulas are nowadays fortified or added with different vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and other essential nutrients to support the overall development of infant vital organs, fueling market growth. Infant formulas come in several forms, like powdered, ready-to-use, and concentrated liquids, allowing users to select the appropriate formula based on their budget.
