Growing popularity of organic baby foods
“Parents show a clear preference towards organic baby products for their infants due to concerns regarding their health and general wellbeing. Organic baby food typically is free from chemicals, pesticides, preservatives, hormones, and antibiotics, which is drawing increasing attention,” says Manjunath Reddy, a lead analyst at Technavio for food research.
The growing awareness regarding the detrimental effects of harmful chemicals and preservatives in non-organic food has resulted in more parents opting for organic baby foods. Also, since many stipulations govern the manufacture, packaging, and labeling of organic baby food, parents are assured regarding its safety.
Innovation in packaging
Packaging is often the deciding factor of a product’s purchase and plays a large role in deciding the consumer perception of the brand. Good packaging provides better protection, tamper-resistance, and can also be used for marketing purposes.
Baby food and infant formula manufacturers are introducing innovative and creative packaging to grab the attention of consumers. Vendors are investing heavily in the development of innovative, eco-friendly, and recyclable alternatives to conventional packaging, which is expected to further boost the growth of the market.
Changing market demographics and tastes
“Parents in different demographics show clear preferences towards different products and flavors for their offspring. Manufacturers in the market space actively seek to understand these preferences and meet the varied demand through product innovation, brand extension, and the introduction of new brands,” says Manjunath.
Manufacturers usually have several product lines with varying ingredients and flavors, depending on consumer demand. Most manufacturers specifically target the growing health-conscious parent segment, especially in the developed countries of Europe and the Americas.
