Infant Formula Market size to surpass $100 Bn by 2032

Infant Formula Market size is anticipated to cross USD 100 billion by 2032, as per a recent research report announced by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Rising awareness about postnatal care and the adoption of home healthcare services are some of the prominent drivers for baby formula demand. Consumers are becoming aware of the importance of proper nutrition and well-being in the early phase of child development. As a part of personalized childcare assistance, home health service providers have been offering cost-effective, integrated, and high-quality newborn care. This increase in exceptional healthcare delivery to lower mortality and morbidity rates of newborns will boost baby milk intake and support the growth of infant formula providers.
 

Despite the favorable growth trajectory, risks of contamination due to the presence of harmful bacteria and chemical residues have resulted in frequent recalls of infant formulas over recent years. For instance, in February 2022, the U.S. FDA warned families to not consume certain powdered infant formulas contaminated with bacteria. The agency recalled all formulas manufactured at a U.S. factory after 5 babies developed Salmonella Newport and Cronobacter sakazakii infections. Such consumption risks may assert a negative influence on infant formula development to some extent.
 

Growing cases of preterm birth to amplify specialty infant formula sales

Infant formula market value from the specialty product segment is likely to surpass USD 52 billion by 2032, given the increasing number of preterm babies at risk of stunted growth. Based on the WHO, over 15 million babies are born preterm annually. To help meet nutritional needs and address specific health concerns associated with these babies, including low birthweight, specialty formulas have been developed. Nutrients such as iron, choline, iodine, and zinc are specifically added to these formulas to support the brain development of preterm infants, thereby contributing to product consumption.
