Global Infant Formula Ingredients Market by Ingredient Type (Carbohydrates, Oils & Fats, Prebiotics), Form (Liquid & Semi-Liquid, Powder), Source, Application - Forecast 2023-2030

The Infant Formula Ingredients Market size was estimated at USD 23.36 billion in 2022, USD 25.32 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.01% to reach USD 46.62 billion by 2030.

Infant formula ingredients are specifically designed and chosen to closely mimic the nutritional composition of human breast milk, providing essential nutrients required for the healthy growth and development of infants. These ingredients typically include protein sources, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and other functional components that ensure optimal nourishment for a baby's physical and cognitive needs. Meanwhile, the growing awareness about the nutrition of infants among working women increases the need for infant formula. Infant formula ingredients provide primary components as they form the foundation for tissue growth and repair. Additionally, the penetration of organic and natural infant food significantly improves the development of the infant formula ingredients market. However, regulatory compliance is crucial due to the sensitive nature and health of the target consumers, resulting in stringent government regulations by regulatory bodies associated with infant formula ingredients, which is a significant challenge for producers of infant formula ingredients. Companies emphasize innovation through research activities that identify novel ingredients with improved nutritional value or functional benefits for infants to maintain a strong position within this competitive landscape. Moreover, the inclusion of prebiotics and probiotics in infant food and continuous R&D expenditure on infant formula to promote infant gut health offer a competitive advantage to the market players.
