Industry Overview
The increasing demand for organic infant formulas is one of the key trends contributing to the growth of the soy-based infant formula market. The rising parental concerns about the unhealthy chemical additives in store-bought baby foods are encouraging vendors to formulate organic ones, which are healthier and free from chemical agents. Organic baby foods such as soy-based infant formulas have garnered the attention of parents in recent years because of their health benefits and no side-effects. The consumption of organic infant formulas is high in the US and has started gaining prevalence in other countries as well.
The increasing number of new mothers with low production of breast milk is also one of the factors driving the growth of the market. Many new mothers are producing low breast milk because of reasons such as breast engorgement, thrush, abscess, and mastitis. Vendors capitalized on the medical concern and formulated organic baby food such as soy infant formula, which is a healthy substitute for breast milk. Soy-based infant formulas are also easy on the digestive system of babies who are lactose intolerant. The easy availability of soy-based infant formulas will increase its popularity among mothers with low breast milk production. As a result of these factors, the soy-based infant formula market is expected to register a CAGR of close to 3% during the forecast period.
