PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Special milk formulas expected to drive value growth despite demographic decline
Sales of baby food are forecast to edge down in volume terms over the coming years as Hungary’s birth rate continues to fall, shrinking the consumer base. However, the maturity of the category and the importance of infant nutrition mean that value performance will be supported by targeted innovation, wider product availability, and well-designed promotional campaigns.
Health and wellness priorities to strengthen functional and organic demand
Meanwhile, health and wellness considerations will continue to shape parental preferences, reinforcing demand for functional, clean-label, and organic products. Parents are becoming increasingly attentive to ingredient quality, favouring baby food that is free from additives and made with natural, easily digestible proteins.
Multi-pack formats and packaging innovation to appeal to value-conscious parents
Additionally, economic pressures are likely to spur further innovation in packaging, with multi-pack formats emerging as an effective way to enhance perceived value. By offering slight cost savings alongside convenience, multi-packs cater to budget-conscious families while supporting repeat purchases.
