Philippines Baby Food - Market Assessment and Forecasts to 2027

Philippines Baby Food - Market Assessment and Forecasts to 2027 is an analytical report by the publisher which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Norwegian market

The number of live births in the Philippines decreased by 16.2% during 2008-2021, to reach 1.5 million in 2021. This resulted in a baby population of 4.7 million in 2021. However, both the crude birth rate, and total fertility rates, have fallen. The GDP of the Philippines grew by 5.1% in 2021 primarily owing to the successful COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, while consumer price inflation stood at 4.4%. Overall growth in value terms has increased in recent years with the sector registering a CAGR of 2.7% during 2015-2021. However, in volume terms, sales declined in 2021, with the sector contracting marginally at a negative CAGR of 0.6%. Baby milks remained by far the largest category in value terms with nearly 90% of the baby food sector, followed by baby cereals & dry meals. Nestlé and Mead Johnson (Reckitt Benckiser) were the top two companies in 2021. Nestlé retained the top spot in value during 2015-2021 and remained the leader in all the categories except finger foods. Hypermarkets & supermarkets remained the leading distribution channel, accounting for 80.6% of overall value sales in 2021. The publisher estimates that the number of live births will continue to increase over the forecast period in the Philippines. Based on these assumptions, the market for baby food in the country is expected to grow in both value and volume terms, registering a value CAGR of 5.8% and a volume CAGR of 1.9% during 2021-2027.
