Baby food market in Latin America – statistics & facts
There is no stage in life where paying attention to a good nutrition is not beneficial. However, if there is a period when eating well becomes a particularly valuable practice, it is during the first years of life. The way in which babies, toddlers and children are nourished, does not only determine how they feel during those first years. It also impacts how they develop into adulthood. As the benefits of eating well during those early stages become more evident, a larger amount of parents start paying special attention to proper feeding practices for their children. As a result, the infant nutrition industry has been expanding, reaching a worldwide value of more than 67 billion U.S. dollars in 2019. In Latin America, despite a constant decrease in the population growth during the last years, the value of the infant nutrition market in the region has been estimated to increase in the coming years.
