REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
STUDY OBJECTIVES
BCC's goal in conducting this study is to provide an overview of the current
and future characteristics of the global market for baby foods. The key
objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the current baby food
market and its future direction including categories such as infant formula
and baby meals.
This report explores present and future strategies within the baby food
market. The current state of the market, the setbacks, the innovations, and
the future needs of the market are discussed in detail in this report. A
general overview of baby food, its types, market needs, benefits, limitations,
and regulatory aspects are discussed in the report.
A detailed analysis of the structure of the baby food industry has been
conducted. This includes different types of baby foods such as infant formula
and baby meals, which are further broken down by their market share as
belonging to the categories' leading manufacturers, and/or suppliers.
Revenues for each of the baby food categories are broken down by the region,
including the four major markets of U.S., Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the
World (ROW). Sales figures are estimated for the 5-year period from 2011
through 2016.
The significant patents and their allocation in each category of baby food are
included in the report. Company profiles of major companies in the baby food
business, including infant formula and baby meal manufacturers and processors
are also included.
REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY
This study was conducted to provide vital and detailed information regarding
the use of baby food. This industry is primed for growth, as the demand for
baby food products is increasing. Due to an increase in the number of women
in the workplace, in addition to growing parental concerns about nutrition and
modern day time constraints, baby food instant solutions such as infant
formula and baby meals have become even more significant in meeting the
current nutritional demands of infants and toddlers globally. A growing
overall concern for infant/toddler health in addition to time constraints have
enabled many new baby food companies to originate globally. These companies
are striving to meet the current and potential future demand of providing
quality baby food products worldwide.
Acquisitions, mergers, and alliances by companies and global organizations are
also covered in this report. The study also discusses the new
technologies/developments, manufacturer/supplier competition, as well as the
changing environment of the market, due to the increasing demand for
commercial baby foods.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
With an increasing number of women in the workplace and the demand for more
convenient baby food products, the market for baby food provides many
opportunities for new and innovative products. Manufacturers/suppliers that
deal with the business of baby food and beverage, parents of toddlers/infants,
working mothers, healthcare professionals, and pediatric clinics and hospitals
that deal specifically with pediatric cases are all required to provide
specialized food for infants/toddlers.
This report is also of great interest to companies, institutions, and
researchers working within the baby food market, including
suppliers/manufacturers, retailers, technologists, specialized
medical-pediatric service providers, universities, students, journalists, and
other concerned individuals and groups.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this study encompasses the baby food markets. This report
includes infant formula and baby meals. Baby meals include baby cereals, baby
snacks, baby drinks, and other baby foods. BCC analyzes each market and how
it relates to the nutrient needs of infants/toddlers; the importance of
breast-feeding; types and forms of infant formula; complementary baby meals;
different types of industrially prepared complementary foods; and benefits,
drawbacks, and the market's regulatory aspects. The technological issues
discussed include the latest trends and developments of the baby food market.
METHODOLOGY
BCC conducted a comprehensive literature search that included technical
newsletters and journals and many other sources. Data were collected through
interviews and correspondence with various chemical, biotechnical, food and
beverages, and technical experts. Projections are based on estimates such as
the current number of end users, potential end users, mergers and
acquisitions, and market trends.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Many companies within the industry were surveyed to obtain data for this
study. Included were manufacturers and end users of nonsugar sweeteners in
chemicals, biotechnical products, and food and beverages. Data were gathered
from various industry sources. BCC spoke with officials within the industry,
consulted newsletters, company literature, product literature, and a host of
technical articles, journals, indexes, and abstracts. Exhaustive
investigations of databases by key terminology were completed. In addition,
data was compiled from current financial, trade, and government sources.
