NY, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global infant formula market was valued at USD 81.72 billion in 2024 and is expected to increase from USD 90.91 billion in 2025 to USD 178.83 billion by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 10.15% throughout the forecast period.

Asia Pacific led the global market with a 68.73% share in 2024, supported by high birth rates, growing urbanization, and increasing consumer spending on premium baby nutrition products. In the United States, the market is anticipated to experience strong growth, reaching approximately USD 10.22 billion by 2032, driven by rising parental awareness of the importance of nutritious, high-quality infant formula for healthy infant development.

Infant formula, also known as baby formula, is a scientifically developed nutritional product designed to meet the dietary needs of infants under one year of age. Various government bodies, including the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the World Health Organization (WHO), have established strict regulations and standards for baby food formulations to ensure product safety and nutritional adequacy. These stringent quality regulations play a crucial role in fostering consumer confidence and promoting the adoption of advanced, specialized infant formulas.

For instance, in 2019, the FSSAI introduced updated standards for infant formula intended for special medical purposes, as well as for premature and lactose-free milk substitutes, ensuring improved quality and compliance with evolving nutritional needs.
