動力學
全球出生人數不斷增加
全球出生人數不斷增加,特別是在發展中國家,刺激了對嬰兒配方奶粉、嬰兒食品和補充劑等幼兒營養品的需求。許多國家提高出生率的努力導致預測期內嬰兒食品的需求不斷成長。例如,2023年6月,日本宣布計畫投資約240億美元來提高生育率。
根據聯合國《世界人口展望》,2023年出生率為每千人17.464人,2022年出生人數約為1.3211億。年輕職業母親的數量在推動嬰兒營養品行業的崛起中發揮了重要作用,該行業嚴重依賴加工嬰兒營養品。
根據日本時報有限公司發布的一項民意調查。到2022年,日本職業女性人數將達到創紀錄的3035萬,比前五年增加122萬,至2023年6月。同樣,根據 AXIOS 2023 年 9 月的最新數據,2023 年 6 月,有五歲以下孩子的女性佔工作人口的 70.4%,比疫情高峰時的 68.9% 有所下降。
嬰兒配方奶粉的進步與創新
生命早期營養市場的製造商正在透過不斷創新和擴大其產品供應來滿足對專業營養不斷成長的需求。嬰兒配方奶粉成分和技術的進步,例如添加益生元、益生菌、DHA 和髓磷脂,顯著增強了這些產品對注重健康的父母的吸引力。
例如,2022 年 9 月,雀巢在香港推出了 Nutrilearn Connect,這是一種富含髓鞘的獨特配方,髓鞘是大腦發育的關鍵物質。同樣,清潔標籤嬰兒配方奶粉製造商 Bobbie 透過於 2023 年 7 月收購 Nature's One 加強了其市場地位,從而能夠完全控制其生產過程(從原料採購到罐裝)。
這些創新滿足了對支持早產兒或健康受損嬰兒健康的專用配方奶粉日益成長的需求。因此,父母擴大轉向滿足嬰兒特定營養需求的先進配方奶粉,這推動了市場的成長。配方奶粉成分和生產過程的不斷改進使嬰兒營養產品更具吸引力和更容易獲得,有助於市場擴張。
法律問題和供應鏈挑戰
由於嬰兒食品安全的法律問題,全球生命早期營養市場面臨嚴重限制。污染、誤導性標籤和不一致的法規會造成健康風險,削弱消費者的信任。欺騙性的行銷行為和營養問題(例如含糖量過高)進一步削弱了人們對產品的信心。此外,不同地區的法規不同會增加合規成本,限制市場成長並使企業難以擴張。
在美國,嬰兒配方奶粉供應面臨的挑戰凸顯了市場的進一步限制。 2021-2022 年因召回和停產而導致的短缺暴露了供應鏈中可能直接影響嬰兒健康的漏洞。這起事件凸顯了加強風險管理的必要性,以防止未來出現混亂。此類供應鏈問題對市場穩定構成重大障礙,影響消費者的進入和品牌信任。
Global Early Life Nutrition Market reached US$ 58 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 109 billion by 2032, growing with a CAGR of 8.21% during the forecast period 2025-2032.
Factors driving the growth of the early life nutrition market include an increase in the number of working mothers, increased spending on newborn health and rising demand for organic baby food.

Dynamics
Increasing Number Of Births Worldwide
The increasing number of births worldwide, particularly in developing nations, fuels the demand for early childhood nutrition items such as infant formula, baby food and supplements. Efforts to increase birth rates in numerous nations contribute to rising demand for baby food over the projection period. For instance, in June 2023, Japan announced plans to invest approximately US$24 billion to increase its fertility rate.
According to the United Nations' World Population Prospects, the birth rate in 2023 was 17.464 births per 1,000 people, with approximately 132.11 million births recorded in 2022. The expanding number of working women, higher spending on infant health and rising demand for organic baby food drive market growth. The number of young working mothers who have played an important part in pushing the rise of the infant nutrition business, which relies heavily on processed baby nutrition products.
According to a poll released by THE JAPAN TIMES LTD. in 2022, Japan had a record 30.35 million working women in June 2023, up 1.22 million from the preceding five years. Similarly, according to AXIOS' September 2023 update, women with children under five accounted for 70.4% of the working population in June 2023, a decrease from 68.9% at the pandemic's peak.
Advancements and Innovations in Infant Formula
Manufacturers in the early life nutrition market are responding to the growing demand for specialized nutrition by continually innovating and expanding their product offerings. Advances in infant formula ingredients and technology, such as the inclusion of prebiotics, probiotics, DHA and myelin, have significantly enhanced the appeal of these products to health-conscious parents.
For instance, in September 2022, Nestle launched Nutrilearn Connect in Hong Kong, a unique formula enriched with myelin, a substance crucial for brain development. Similarly, Bobbie, a clean-label infant formula manufacturer, strengthened its market position by acquiring Nature's One in July 2023, enabling complete control over its production process-from raw material sourcing to canning.
These innovations cater to the growing need for specialized formulas that support the health of premature or health-compromised infants. As a result, parents are increasingly turning to advanced formulas that meet their infants' specific nutritional needs, which is driving the growth of the market. The ongoing improvements in formula composition and production processes are making infant nutrition products more appealing and accessible, contributing to the market expansion.
Legal Concerns and Supply Chain Challenges
The global early life nutrition market faces significant restraints due to legal concerns surrounding infant food safety. Contamination, misleading labeling and inconsistent regulations create health risks, eroding consumer trust. Deceptive marketing practices and nutritional issues, like excessive sugar content, further undermine confidence in products. Additionally, varying regulations across regions increase compliance costs, limiting market growth and making it difficult for businesses to expand.
In US, challenges in the supply of infant formula highlight further market restraints. The 2021-2022 shortage, caused by a recall and production halt, exposed vulnerabilities in the supply chain that can directly impact infant health. This incident underscored the need for stronger risk management to prevent future disruptions. Such supply chain issues pose significant barriers to market stability, affecting both consumer access and brand trust.
The global early life nutrition market is segmented based on product, form, distribution channel and region.
Awareness of Early Childhood Nutrition And Advancements In Technology
The rising demand for specialized formulas & products, awareness of early childhood nutrition and advancements in technology are driving the infant nutrition segment as a leading factor in the early life nutrition market. E-commerce platforms provide parents with a broad selection of infant nutrition products, encompassing diverse brands, formulations and specialized items. From the comfort of their homes, parents can conveniently explore various options to find products tailored to their child's specific needs.
Moreover, key players' strategies such as partnerships & collaborations and innovative product launches would propel this segment's growth. For instance, in April 2024, Lallemand Health Solutions and DSM-Firmenich announced a collaboration to create new synergistic synbiotic solutions that combine human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and probiotics, specifically targeting early-life nutrition.
This partnership aims to enhance the nutritional options available for infants and young children by leveraging the distinct advantages offered by both HMOs and probiotics. Similarly, in October 2023, Nestle announced the launch of Sinergity, an innovation in early-life nutrition. Sinergity is a proprietary blend that combines a specific probiotic strain with six human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) to provide tailored support for infant development and unlock health benefits.
High New Births in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific has a large and rapidly expanding population, which includes a significant number of infants and young children. This demographic trend creates a robust consumer base for infant nutrition products in the area. Countries such as China and India, with their relatively high birth rates compared to other regions globally, play a crucial role in driving the demand for infant nutrition.
Moreover, in this region major numbers of key players presence, technological advancements and product launches that would drive this market growth. For instance, in April 2024, Else Nutrition, an Israeli company known for its plant-based infant and toddler formulas, officially launched its highly anticipated plant-based infant formula in Australia. This launch signifies a major milestone as it marks the company's entry into this market.
The market presents a promising opportunity for growth in the baby and child nutrition sector, projected to exceed US$ 50 billion. Similarly, in March 2024, Wyeth Nutrition, a subsidiary of Nestle, launched China's first infant formula that incorporates two types of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs): 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT). This significant development, introduced under the illuma brand, marks a milestone in the Chinese infant nutrition sector.
