One of the major factors driving the market growth is technological innovations and portfolio extensions. The manufacturers focus on launching advanced and innovative products for fulfill the demands of customers in different sectors. The major factors that a company focuses on while manufacturing a product are safety, durability, and customization.

This product steams and purees in the bowl without creating a mess, thereby also saving time.
Thus, the introduction of innovative products also leads to product premiumization. Danone introduced the pre-measured tab formula milk in the UK by partnering with the Japanese manufacturer Meiji. As per the deal, there will be the manufacturing of a format innovation in its formula milk recipes with Meiji's proprietary tab production technology. Thus, with such technological innovations and portfolio extensions, the global market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
The major market trend driving the market growth is the increasing number of women joining the workforce. The increased number of working women globally has boosted the demand, thereby propelling their sales worldwide. The need for working women to make food or prepare infant formula and store them for later use has resulted in substantial market growth. As a result, the demand for ready-to-eat or packaged food has increased. The number of working women in developing countries such as China and India has increased substantially over the last few years. In 2021, the female labor rate in China ranged at about 61.6%.
The total labor participation rate in China stood at around 68.1% in 2021. This increase in the number of working women has also led to a rise in dual-income households, which, in turn, has led to a higher average income per household. This has helped to shift the inclination toward a luxury lifestyle which has encouraged consumers to adopt as their kitchen appliances. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The major challenge impeding market growth is the declining birth rate. The global declining birth rate is a challenge for the market in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil and in developed countries such as the UK, the US, France, Japan, and Canada. The decline is due to the increase in the unmarried population and a drop in the number of children per family. For instance, the current birth rate for India in 2022 is 17.163 births per 1000 people, a 1.23% decline from 2021. The birth rate for India in 2021 was 17.377 births per 1000 people, a 1.22% decline from 2020.
The decline in birth rate is considered one of the major challenges as with age, people are more concerned about giving proper education and other facilities to their kids for which they maintain a proper budget to run their lifestyle, and often it happens that due to lack of financial stability and time for children, millennials are putting their careers first before thinking of starting a family. Such factors can hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
