REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY

This study was conducted to provide vital and detailed information regarding the use of baby food.  This industry is primed for growth, as the demand for baby food products is increasing.  Due to an increase in the number of women in the workplace, in addition to growing parental concerns about nutrition and modern day time constraints, baby food instant solutions such as infant formula and baby meals have become even more significant in meeting the current nutritional demands of infants and toddlers globally.  A growing overall concern for infant/toddler health in addition to time constraints have enabled many new baby food companies to originate globally.  These companies are striving to meet the current and potential future demand of providing quality baby food products worldwide.

Acquisitions, mergers, and alliances by companies and global organizations are also covered in this report.  The study also discusses the new technologies/developments, manufacturer/supplier competition, as well as the changing environment of the market, due to the increasing demand for commercial baby foods.
