Breastfeeding is still the recommended method of feeding a kid in many nations. It has long been viewed as a benchmark for successful parenting. People in some rural areas of Africa and India are still resistant to modernization.
The social stigma surrounding the use of baby formula could
stifle growth in underdeveloped countries. According to a survey conducted by
the Institute for the Advancement of Nursing & Lactation Education, women
in the United States who chose to give infant formula instead of breastfeeding
experienced mental distress.
Leading companies such as Nestle, Danone, Abbott, and Kraft
Heinz account for roughly half of the sales in the infant
formula market. Key players are creating relationships with
online retail stores and pharmacy stores to meet the growing demand for vegan
and organic baby food in the United States, generating profitable revenue.
This could have a negative impact on the growth of infant
formula in the coming years. However, rising corporate and state measures to
encourage the use of infant formula for a child's healthy development are
likely.
Growing demand for organic infant formula has prompted major
manufacturers to raise production, helping to meet rising demand across the
country. The expansion is aided by an increase in the number of women entering
the workforce and the demand for high nutritional content in infant food.
