In 2024, milk formula is expected to grow in Japan in retail current value terms, due to price rises seen in 2023, which have continued in 2024, caused by the rising costs of dairy raw materials, packaging, and energy. For example, Meiji Co Ltd and Morinaga Milk increased their prices in late 2022 and 2023 respectively. The category leader Meiji raised the manufacturer shipping price by 7-8% in November, followed by an increase of around 8% in May 2023.
