The market is a sector that manufactures and distributes specific food and beverage items for infants and young children. These products have been manufactured to satisfy the specific nutritional requirements of infants during their first few years. Nutrition is one of the most influential factors in a child's development. Numerous infant formulas and baby food products are on the market for infant nutrition. They are produced from powder or liquid baby food. Infant nutrition is intended for feeding newborns and infants typically younger than one year. Infant nutrition improves infants' cognitive function and development, protects them from allergies, and enhances their immune and digestive health.
In addition, infancy is the only other period of rapid development after pregnancy. The diet must be optimized to attain appropriate growth and organ development. A significant emphasis is placed on the development foundations of health and disease. The Barker hypothesis pioneered this theory as one of the most essential aspects of infancy. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), accompanied by inadequate organogenesis and a lower birth weight, may result from fetal malnutrition caused by placental, maternal, or fetal conditions. Although postnatal growth restriction in the neonatal and post-neonatal periods is primarily an acquired condition resulting from inadequate food consumption, fetal nutrition is typically not compromised until an extreme degree of maternal malnutrition occurs.
Some European countries have experienced increasing or stable birth rates, contributing to a larger pool of potential consumers for infant nutrition products. Growing awareness among European parents about the importance of proper infant nutrition has increased the demand for high-quality infant formula and baby food products. While breastfeeding rates vary across European countries, there is a significant emphasis on promoting breastfeeding as the ideal source of infant nutrition. However, this has also led to a market for complementary and follow-on formulas for babies not exclusively breastfed. According to the report Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children, infant formula was the largest contributor to energy intake for children under 12 months. As the baby energy nutrition increases, the demand for infant nutrition will drive the market growth.
