Key Market Findings

  • Clean-Label and Organic Trends

Parents are increasingly seeking transparency and purity in the products they choose for their children. This has led to a significant rise in demand for organic, non-GMO, and clean-label infant formulas and baby foods. Brands that communicate ingredient sourcing and nutritional benefits are gaining consumer trust.

 

  • Specialty Formulations on the Rise 

The growing prevalence of infant allergies and intolerances has fueled demand for specialty nutrition products, such as hydrolyzed protein formulas, soy-based formulas, and lactose-free solutions. These products are seeing faster growth rates compared to traditional formulas, particularly in urbanized and health-conscious markets.

  • Innovation and Science-Backed Claims

Scientific advances are enabling the inclusion of functional ingredients such as DHA, ARA, probiotics, and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). These innovations are helping brands position their products as close alternatives to breast milk and are increasingly influencing parental purchasing decisions.
