Infant Formula Ingredients Market Growth Dynamics
Drivers: Extensive R&D by companies operating in the infant formula ingredients market
Manufacturers involved in the infant formula ingredients market are consistently engaged in R&D to develop ingredients as per consumer expectations. In 2019, Nestlé (Switzerland) opened a new R&D center in Ireland. The company made an investment of USD 30.0 million for the same. The center will focus on developing products for infant nutrition. Arla Foods amba (Denmark) invested USD 0.66 million for a project focusing on infant formula. The project aimed at investigating whether a diet with bioactive milk ingredients protects against gut inflammation, which is of huge relevance to improve infant formula. BASF (Germany) and GlycoSyn (US) formed a partnership with a focus on the area of infant nutrition. It involved the development and commercialization of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). In 2019, BASF launched its first HMO, PREBILAC 2’-FL, for the infant nutrition market. Thus, the infant formula ingredients market is highly competitive, with a large number of key players involved. Most of these players are expanding their customer base, owing to its increased demand from various countries.
Restraints: Strict regulations for infant formulas in China
In 2008, melamine, an industrial chemical used for making plastic, was found in infant formulas in China. Melamine has a higher protein content but can cause kidney stones. It was found in over 22 Chinese dairy companies. It was reported that over 300,000 babies were sick and caused a few fatalities in the same year. This led to a distrust for local manufacturers among consumers in the country and affected the sales of domestic manufacturers since then. Post this incident, a constant reform is being made for the supervision of the infant formula industry. The country has tightened its infant formula registration process. This is expected to create a hindrance for international players to penetrate the local market in the years to come.
Opportunities: Shift in preference for plant-based infant formula ingredients
The expanding infant formula market has led to increased demand for innovative plant-based infant formulas. Many vegan and vegetarian communities opting for plant-based alternatives are extending their diets to their babies as well, creating a lucrative opportunity for plant-based infant formula manufacturers. For example, soy-based protein infant formulas are known for their high-protein content and used for non-dairy infant formula products, providing a suitable alternative to lactose-intolerant babies. For infants with soy allergies, Israel-based Else Nutrition (Israel) is developing 100% plant-based dairy and soy-free infant formula using almonds and buckwheat. Another alternative for both soy and dairy allergenic infants are lentils. Lentil-based formulas are expected to serve as a suitable alternative, owing to their high protein content and amino acid profile. PROTEIN2FOOD (Denmark) formed a partnership with Fraunhofer Institute to develop a model infant formula prototype (in powder form) with a well-balanced protein (amino acid) profile. Thus, plant-based infant formula ingredients stand high-growth prospects in the years to come.
Challenges: Cases of contamination found in infant formulas
In the past, traces of melamine were found in infant formulas in China and the US. This has negatively affected the growth prospects of the infant formula ingredients market. In another incident, in 2018, a Slovenian consumer found dead insects in Danone’s infant formula. The Ministry of Health in Slovenia recalled the affected batch from stores across the country. The agency advised consumers who had purchased the product not to use it and to return it to the seller or discard it. In another incident, in Singapore, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore detected Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria in the samples of Dumex Mamil Gold Infant Milk Formula. Cronobacter sakazakii is a bacterium found in the environment; it can survive dry conditions, such as in food like infant formula and powdered milk. It is known to cause meningitis or sepsis in newborns.

Fats & Oils are One of the Key Ingredients required for the Growth of Infants
Fats & oils are one of the key ingredients required for the growth of infants, as they meet the need for high energy and also help in a wide range of metabolic and physiological functions critical to the development, growth, and health of infants. The composition of lipid content in breast milk varies with the lactation and diet of the mother; however, the lipid composition in infant formula varies in accordance with a blend of various sources of fats. The composition of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids varies largely in infant formulas and breast milk.
A mixture of vegetable oils is the most widely used fat source in infant formulas. Formulas containing dairy fats were used traditionally; although this trend is presently followed in some countries, their use is not encouraged in most parts of the world. Other lipid sources used in infant formulas include single-cell oils, esterified structured lipids, fractionated lipids, polar lipids, fish oils, and egg phospholipids.
Liquid & Semi-Liquid Infant Formula Ingredients are used in making Liquid Concentrates and Ready-to-Feed Infant Formulas
Liquid & semi-liquid infant formula ingredients are used in infant formulas that are produced using wet blending or offered as liquid concentrates and ready-to-feed infant formulas. Fats & oils and some of the micronutrients are mostly used liquid & semi-liquid ingredients in the manufacturing of infant formulas. In wet blending, ingredients are homogenized in a liquid solution or added in a liquid form; they are then spray-dried to obtain the final infant formula product. They are also converted to liquid concentrates and ready-to-feed formulas and sold in the market. In the Asia Pacific region, Japan remains a key revenue generator, as consumers in the country opt for liquid formulas, owing to frequent cases of natural disasters in the country, making the liquid form a convenient option.
Protein Hydrolysates are used by Babies who are Allergic to Proteins that are Found in Cow-Based Formulas
Infant formula ingredients based on protein hydrolysates, the protein is broken down partially or extensively into smaller sizes, which aids babies during digestion. These are mainly useful for babies who are intolerant to both cow’s milk and soy-based formulas. Extensively hydrolyzed formulas are an option for babies who are allergic to normal proteins that are found in cow-based formulas. These ingredients can either be obtained through plant-based or animal-based sources. Whey protein hydrolysate formulas are becoming increasingly popular among users and many manufacturers. Some of the protein hydrolyzed-based infant formula products include Enfamil Gentlease and Similac Sensitive, which are partially hydrolyzed. The milk proteins in these formulas are partially broken down, which caters to infants who are highly sensitive to both cow’s milk and soy.
Suitable for Low Birth Weight Infants and in Cases Where Mother’s Milk cannot be Fed
The inability of mothers to lactate, making it a suitable recommended alternative. Standard infant formulas are given to infants between 0 and 6 months of age. It is also known as stage 1 milk formula and first infant milk formula. In the first six months of an infant’s life, it is recommended that mothers breastfeed their babies, as breast milk has nutritional elements and antibodies that are required for infant nutrition. However, where breastfeeding is not feasible or insufficient, feeding infants with formula milk offers a great alternative. Usually, a formula based on cow’s milk is recommended, as it has ingredients similar to that of human milk. Other formulas, such as soy protein-based, hydrolyzed protein-based, and amino acid-based formulas are also preferred based on the nutritional requirements of infants. Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends standard infant formula for low-birth-weight infants, in cases where mother’s milk cannot be fed. Thus, standard formula serves as a suitable alternative, and its sales are expected to boost in the years to come.
The Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the highest growth rate in the infant formula ingredients market, with a value of USD 9.1 billion in 2019; it is projected to reach USD 15.4 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period.
China has dominated the market in the region, as it is one of the largest consumers of infant formulas in the world, and hence, any market fluctuation in China is expected to significantly affect the global infant formulas market, which will, in turn, consequently, affect the infant formula ingredients market. As the government in China has started easing its stand on the one-child policy and is allowing couples to have two children, the market is expected to grow with the increase in the number of newborn infants. The country is a significant importer of international infant formula products, especially from New Zealand and Australia; the high demand for infant formulas in China has forced global manufacturers, such as Fonterra Co-operative Group (New Zealand), to increase their production of ingredients as well as expand their geographic reach in the Chinese market.
In terms of imports of infant formulas, New Zealand is one of the major exporters of infant formulas to China, which generates high revenue for the country; hence, the market of infant formula ingredients is projected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.
