Market Drivers and Restraints:
Fortified baby food offers additional micronutrients such as essential trace elements and multiple vitamins that are required for the healthy growth of babies. With changing lifestyle and proliferation in working women population, the demand for packaged baby food with extra nutritive value has increased, leading to the expansion of the global Fortified Baby Food Market. Rise in demand for baby products that can provide nutrients that are equivalent to the nutritive value of breast milk and increasing popularity of ready-to-eat baby meals are some of the primary factors that are projected to propel the growth of the global fortified baby food market. Initiatives undertaken by governments in various developing and underdeveloped regions for eradicating malnutrition among the infants and toddlers and rise in disposable income in developed and developing regions are some other major factors that are fueling the growth of the global fortified baby food market. However, concerns regarding the effects the added preservatives and other functional specialty food ingredients and reluctance in adopting the trend of packaged food are likely to restrain the growth of the global fortified baby food market during the assessment period.
