早期生命營養市場機會、成長動力、產業趨勢分析及 2025 - 2034 年預測

2024年，全球早期生命營養市場規模達5,79億美元，預計2034年將以8.2%的複合年成長率成長，達到1,275億美元。這一成長源於家長日益意識到兒童生命最初1000天營養的重要性，因為這對身心發展、免疫力和長期健康都至關重要。越來越多的醫護人員和家長選擇嬰兒零食和米粉、嬰兒配方奶粉和營養補充劑等產品來支持孩子的成長。對高品質、營養豐富的產品的需求日益成長，家長也願意為符合這些標準的產品支付更高的價格。

城市化和在職父母數量的成長，導致對便利、單份且營養豐富的膳食解決方案的需求激增，尤其是在生活方式受限、母乳喂養面臨挑戰的城市地區。此外，新興經濟體家庭的可支配收入不斷增加，使他們能夠購買優質的早期營養產品。這些市場正在擴大產品範圍，並根據當地飲食需求進行調整，以滿足日益成長的需求。

嬰兒配方奶粉市場規模預計到2034年將達到620億美元，2025-2034年複合年成長率為8.4%。受母親重返工作崗位、城市化進程加快、生活方式疾病導致母乳餵養困難以及各種社會和經濟變化等因素的影響，該類別正在經歷成長。對許多家庭來說，嬰兒配方奶粉是母乳哺育的理想替代品。製造商正在透過添加DHA、ARA和核苷酸等成分來增強這些產品的成分，以模擬母乳。此外，為了滿足消費者多樣化的偏好，對有機和特殊配方奶粉的需求也不斷成長，包括低致敏性、無乳糖和植物性配方奶粉。

2024年，粉狀產品佔最大市場佔有率，達到55%，預計2025年至2034年的複合年成長率為8.1%。粉狀產品因其成本效益高、便於攜帶和保存期限長而廣受歡迎，尤其適合冷藏條件有限的新興經濟體。這種形式還可​​以輕鬆自訂和調整配方，添加針對不同發育階段的特定營養素。電子商務的影響力日益增強，進一步增強了這個細分市場，因為與液體相比，粉末更容易儲存和運輸。

2024年，亞太地區早期生命營養市場佔有33.9%的佔有率。這一主導地位歸因於該地區人口眾多、發展中國家出生率上升、中產階級收入上升、嬰兒保健意識增強以及新興經濟體的存在等因素。中國、印度、印尼和越南等國家對該地區不斷發展的經濟至關重要，因為它們構成了全球嬰幼兒人口的很大一部分。亞太地區的都市化程度與積極的生活方式有關，這為女性提供了更多的就業機會，從而導致人們轉向配方奶粉和便利的育兒解決方案。這種轉變對早期生命營養產品的需求產生了正面影響，尤其是奶粉和即食產品。

生命早期營養市場的領導公司包括雀巢公司、達能公司、雅培實驗室、利潔時（美贊臣）和菲仕蘭康柏尼。這些公司正在透過各種策略加強其市場影響力。例如，雀巢專注於高階化，推廣Sinergity、NAN和Illumina等高價位產品，瞄準嬰幼兒營養市場的成長。達能則強調其產品中的有機和天然成分，並收購了專門生產有機配方的小型企業，以滿足消費者的偏好。

雅培正在擴展其產品線，提供滿足特定配方偏好的多種選擇；利潔時則正在投資研發，以豐富其產品組合。菲仕蘭坎皮納則專注於提高產品質量，並拓展分銷管道，以覆蓋更廣泛的消費者群體。這些策略正在幫助這些公司適應不斷變化的消費者需求，並鞏固其在競爭激烈的早期營養市場中的地位。

The Global Early Life Nutrition Market was valued at USD 57.9 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% to reach USD 127.5 billion by 2034. This growth is driven by increasing awareness among parents about the importance of nutrition during the first 1,000 days of a child's life, which significantly impacts physical and mental development, immunity, and long-term health. Healthcare practitioners and parents are increasingly turning to products like baby snacks and cereals, infant formula, and nutritional supplements to support their children's growth. The demand for high-quality, nutrient-enriched products is rising, with parents willing to pay a premium for items that meet these standards.

Urbanization and the growing number of working parents have led to a surge in the need for convenient, single-serve, and nutritious meal solutions, especially in urban areas where lifestyle constraints make breastfeeding challenging. Additionally, families in emerging economies are experiencing increased disposable income, enabling them to purchase premium early-life nutrition products. These markets are expanding their product ranges and adapting to local dietary needs to cater to this growing demand.

The infant formula segment is expected to reach a market value of USD 62 billion by 2034, registering a CAGR of 8.4% during 2025-2034. This category is experiencing growth due to factors such as mothers returning to work, greater urbanization, lifestyle diseases that make breastfeeding difficult, and various social and economic changes. Infant formula offers an adequate alternative to breastfeeding for many families. Manufacturers are enhancing the composition of these products by adding ingredients like DHA, ARA, and nucleotides to simulate human milk. There's also an increased demand for organic and specialty formulas, including those that are hypoallergenic, lactose-free, and plant-based, to cater to diverse consumer preferences.

In 2024, the powdered form held the largest market share, accounting for 55%, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2025 to 2034. Powdered products are popular due to their cost-effectiveness, portability, and long shelf life, making them especially suitable for emerging economies with limited refrigeration. This form also allows for easy customization and alteration of formulations with specific nutrients for different developmental stages. The growing influence of e-commerce has further strengthened this segment, as powders are more suitable for storage and shipping compared to liquids.

Asia Pacific Early Life Nutrition Market held a 33.9% share in 2024. This dominance is attributed to factors such as the region's large population, increasing birth rates in developing countries, rising middle-class income, growing awareness of infant healthcare, and the presence of emerging economies. Countries like China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam are vital to the region's evolving economy, as they constitute a significant portion of the world's infant and toddler demographic. The level of urbanization in Asia Pacific is associated with active lifestyles that afford women more employment opportunities, leading to a shift towards formula diets and convenient nurturing solutions. This shift has positively impacted the demand for early-life nutrition products, particularly among the powdered and ready-to-feed categories.

The leading companies in the Early Life Nutrition Market include Nestle S.A., Danone S.A., Abbott Laboratories, Reckitt Benckiser (Mead Johnson), and FrieslandCampina. These companies are strengthening their market presence through various strategies. Nestle, for instance, is focusing on premiumization by promoting higher-priced products like Sinergity, NAN, and Illumina, targeting growth in infant and children's nutrition. Danone is emphasizing organic and natural ingredients in its products, acquiring smaller businesses specializing in organic formulas to align with consumer preferences.

Abbott is expanding its product line to offer a variety of options catering to specific formula preferences, while Reckitt Benckiser is investing in research and development to diversify its product portfolio. FrieslandCampina is focusing on enhancing product quality and expanding its distribution channels to reach a broader consumer base. These strategies are helping these companies to adapt to changing consumer demands and strengthen their positions in the competitive early-life nutrition market.
