Now Available: Baby Food in Italy

The Italian market for baby food has experienced difficulties over the past few years, as the effects of the economic crisis have made themselves felt in reduced consumer spending and a trend towards lower-priced products or the substitution of home-made products for commercially prepared baby food. Demand for baby food has fallen for five years, and is expected to continue to do so over the next six years, largely due to the forecast decline in the number of births which will reduce the potential market for these products.

Key Findings

* Cereals will remain the smallest sector in the Italian baby food market, accounting for just 3.5% of overall consumption in 2020, and a slightly higher 4.1% by value.
* Over the period from 2008 to 2014, the brands now owned by Danone have seen their share increase from 32.2% to 34.7% in terms of value.
* The bulk of imports consist of cereals and milks (76% of volume imports in 2014), although imports of meat-based meals are also significant, accounting for 14% of volume imports in 2014.
