Global Baby Food Market (2009–2014)

The global baby food market is witnessing rapid growth due to the increasing number of working women, and the increasing parental concerns about nutrition. Professionally-made food designed to meet the nutrition requirements of babies also address the problems of paucity of time for preparing baby food at home, as well as non-lactation problems, which may lead to under-nutrition for the baby. Packed and bottled baby food is also considered as a supplement to mother’s feeding. The market is growing at a fast pace in developing economies such as China, Vietnam, and India; while the U.S. and Europe markets account for a major share in terms of total revenue generated.

The global market for baby food generated $25 billion in 2008 and is expected to grow at a double digit CAGR in the next few years. A detailed study and analysis of this market will not only define it comprehensively along with market statistics, but will also inform the respective stakeholders about the market drivers and trends. Major players in this market are targeting populous and emerging economies like China and India since the markets in U.S. and Europe have little growth opportunity because of low birth rates and static market conditions. This report analyses the global baby food market and its sub-segments to help stakeholders take strategic decisions based on the upcoming trends and opportunities that this report identifies in the baby food market.

Existing studies and third-party market reports do not provide a comprehensive understanding and classification of the recent developments in the baby food market, such as analysis considering the age group of babies and the nutrient value of baby food. This report breaks the market into smaller product segments which none of the other third-party reports have done so far.

Baby Food Article

The target consumers of commercially-available baby food range from infants (babies aged 6 to 12 months) to toddlers (children up to three years old). Baby food is available in various flavors and in both solid and liquid form. Modern-day time constraints have reduced the use of homemade baby food in both developed as well as developing nations. While U.S. and Europe hold a major share of the global baby food market, emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, Russia, and Romania also represent a high growth rate.

The baby food market is getting a big boost from the increasing awareness about the role it plays in meeting the nutritional needs of infants and toddlers. The major challenges for the baby food industry are low birth rates, static market conditions in developed countries, and milk intolerance in babies. However, opportunities for the baby food market is immense, as there is large untapped market in developing economies and as evolving food technology and new product developments are expected to attract more customers in future.

The global baby food market is expected to be worth US$37.6 billion by 2014, growing at an estimated CAGR of 5.0% from 2009 to 2014. Bottled baby food forms the largest market segment; and is expected to reach US$9.9 billion by 2014 at a CAGR of 4.9% for the same period. The segment with the highest growth potential is expected to be frozen baby food followed by bottled baby food products and baby cereals. Nestlι SA is the market leader in the global baby food products market. The other key market players are H.J. Heinz, Bristol-Myers Squibb, DANONE and Hero.

The major segments in the baby food product market are baby cereals, bottled baby foods, frozen baby foods, baby snacks and soups. Companies are focusing mainly on developing easily digestible and competitively priced fortified baby food. Evolving food technologies are enabling the market players to offer quality products with enhanced benefits like optimum nutrients content for babies. The growth in the baby food market is primarily due to the increasing demand from the Asian countries.
