June 2025 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Infant Nutrition Market Growth & Trends

The global infant nutrition market size is expected to reach USD 611.1 million by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The market's expansion is driven by factors such as a rising number of working mothers, increased spending on infant health, and a growing demand for organic baby food. The number of young working mothers has notably increased in recent years, significantly impacting the infant nutrition industry. According to March 2023 Office for National Statistics (ONS) UK labor report, 15.66 million women aged 16 and older were employed from October to December 2022, indicating a rise of 108,000 compared to the previous year. The percentage of women employed fell to 72.3% in February 2020 from a record high of 72.7% in December 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the infant nutrition industry, with lockdown measures affecting the lives of new and expectant mothers. The global food and beverage sector, including the baby formula market, experienced notable challenges. The market faced disruptions, impacting sales, and market participants invested heavily to ensure children's access to essential nutrients. The growing focus on health and wellness extends to infant nutrition, with parents seeking products promoting overall health, brain development, and immune system support. There are potential opportunities from the expanding middle-class population in emerging nations and the demand for solutions catering to the schedules of working mothers.

Despite challenges, such as stringent regulations and low fertility rates in some countries, market growth is driven by factors like the US FDA's increasing approval rate and major competitors' introduction of innovative products. For instance, Danone introduced the Dairy and Plants Blend baby formula in July 2022, providing flexitarian options, while Bunge Loders Croklaan launched a novel lipid ingredient for baby formula in January 2021.
