Analyst View:

Increasing consumption of infant formula

An increasing number of working woman has been observed globally, which has lowered the overall breastfeeding rates. For instance, according to the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that only 38.0% of all infant aged between 0 to 6 months are exclusively breastfed. Emerging countries like China, India and Japan have recorded higher growth in the ratio of female to male labor force, resulting working women shifting towards the infant formula feeding to the children, rather than breastfeeding. This has led to the higher demand in these countries.

Regulatory changes

During 2016-17, some countries in North America, Europe and Latin America allowed infant formula players to manufactures and market products with added lactoferrin. This has opened new regional markets for various manufacturers. For instance, in April 2017, Synlait Ltd. Received the FDA approval to export lactoferrin to the U.S., further to be used infant and toddler formula. Thus, these changes in regulation regarding to the use of protein as an added ingredient in infant formula are instrumental in rising demand for these products in global markets. However, the high cost of lactoferrin to limit the adoption in different product might be hampering the growth of the market.
