Global Infant Food Ingredients Market to Grow at a CAGR of 5.70% During the Period 2026-2035, Driven by Demand for High-quality Baby Food Products

The global infant food ingredients market is expected to be driven by parents’ desire for high-quality food products for their infants and toddlers. Organic products are driving market growth, with increasing number of products claiming organic. For example, demand for organic whey and lactose is expected to increase significantly. However, increasing demand for organic raw material and the resultant shortage of supply may impede market growth.  North America, Europe and Asia are likely to be key markets.

Infant food is primarily specialized nutrition intended to be a very well-balanced formula that mimics breast milk (the golden standard) as best as possible. Leading companies today offer a variety of products devised to meet the needs of infants and toddlers. Cows’ milk is the basic material of a majority of infant food products, though it differs in several ways from human milk. Thus, it is of prime importance to make the infant formula fit for the consumption of newly born babies. Adjusting casein-whey protein ratio and enhancing α-lactalbumin contents (decreasing β-lactoglobulin contents) are key changes necessary to be carried out in the final formula mix. Hypoallergenic bovine protein hydrolysate may be applied to overcome the problem of allergy to cows’ milk; novel technologies enable the optimization of taste and allergenicity.

Substances such as oligosaccharides, proteins and peptides, nucleotides, play an important role in mother’s milk, and companies, through technology, seek to attain biologically active ingredients like bioactive peptides. Processing technologies employed to make sure that the microbial quality of infant food is the highest possible, significantly impact specific ingredients. Hence, novel processing technologies are being developed and assessed.
