During the forecast period, the infant formula ingredients market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.3%. Beginning the forecast period in 2023 with a market value of USD 42,645 million, it is likely to reach a valuation of USD 78,818.9 million by 2033.
Expert analysts at FMI predict an unprecedented growth in the market for infant formula ingredients, driven by their essential role in supporting babies’ overall development. While physicians generally recommend exclusive breastfeeding for infants under six months, infant formula serves as a viable alternative.
The global demand for infant formula is rapidly increasing, thanks to its comparable nutritional content and its widespread use among working mothers. FMI’s analysts highlight a significant shift in consumer behavior in recent years, fueled by the expansion of the global food industry. Today, consumers are more informed about the ingredients in food and beverage products before making purchasing decisions. This trend is particularly evident in the infant formula market, where products typically contain ingredients designed for babies under one year of age.
Future Market Insights expects there to be an astounding surge in the market size of the baby formula ingredients market due to its nutrient content. It is also the highest-preferred alternative to breastfeeding. Globally, the market is also gaining rapid success as working women with infants can make the switch to infant formula to keep up with their busy lifestyles.
The market’s growth can be credited to the rising sales of infant formula ingredients, sourcing a replacement for women’s breast milk with nutrients available in the soymilk, cow’s milk, and protein hydrolysates form.
