幼児期栄養市場の世界市場は2024年に580億米ドルに達し、2032年には1,090億米ドルに達すると予測され、予測期間2025年~2032年のCAGRは8.21%で成長する見込みです。
幼児期栄養市場の成長を促進する要因としては、働く母親の増加、新生児の健康に対する支出の増加、オーガニックベビーフードに対する需要の高まりなどが挙げられます。近年、若いワーキングマザーの数が大幅に増加しています。例えば英国では、働く母親の数はここ数十年で過去最高を記録しています。

ダイナミクス
世界の出生数の増加
世界の出生数の増加、特に開発途上国での出生数の増加は、乳児用調製粉乳、離乳食、サプリメントなどの幼児栄養アイテムの需要を促進しています。数多くの国々における出生率増加への取り組みが、予測期間中のベビーフード需要の増加に寄与しています。例えば、日本は2023年 6月に、出生率を高めるために約240億米ドルを投資する計画を発表しました。
国連の世界人口見通しによると、2023年の出生率は人口1,000人当たり17.464人で、2022年には約1億3,211万人の出生が記録されました。働く女性の数の拡大、乳幼児の健康に対する支出の増加、オーガニックベビーフードに対する需要の高まりが市場成長の原動力となっています。ベビー用栄養加工品に大きく依存する乳幼児用栄養事業の台頭を後押しする重要な役割を担っているのは、若いワーキングマザーの数です。
2022年に株式会社ジャパンタイムズが発表した世論調査によると、2023年6月の日本の働く女性の数は過去最高の3,035万人で、5年前より122万人増加しました。同様に、AXIOSが2023年9月に発表した最新情報によると、2023年6月の労働人口に占める5歳未満の子供を持つ女性の割合は70.4%で、パンデミック最盛期の68.9%から減少しています。
乳児用調製粉乳の進歩と革新
幼児期栄養市場のメーカーは、継続的な技術革新と製品ラインナップの拡大により、特殊栄養に対する需要の高まりに対応しています。プレバイオティクス、プロバイオティクス、DHA、ミエリンの配合など、乳児用調製粉乳の成分や技術の進歩は、健康志向の親に対する製品の魅力を大幅に高めています。
例えば、ネスレは2022年9月、脳の発達に重要な物質であるミエリンを豊富に含む独自の粉ミルク「ニュートリラーンコネクト」を香港で発売しました。同様に、クリーンラベルの乳児用調製粉乳メーカーであるボビーは、2023年7月にネイチャーズワンを買収することで市場での地位を強化し、原材料の調達から缶詰製造までの製造工程を完全に管理できるようになった。
こうした技術革新は、未熟児や健康状態の悪化した乳児の健康をサポートする特殊な粉乳に対するニーズの高まりに応えるものです。その結果、乳児の特定の栄養ニーズを満たす高度な調製粉乳を求める親が増えており、これが市場の成長を牽引しています。乳児用調製粉乳の組成や製造工程が改善されつつあることで、乳児用栄養製品がより魅力的で入手しやすくなり、市場の拡大に寄与しています。
法的懸念とサプライチェーンの課題
世界の幼児期栄養市場市場は、乳児用食品の安全性をめぐる法的懸念により大きな抑制要因に直面しています。汚染、誤解を招く表示、一貫性のない規制が健康リスクを生み出し、消費者の信頼を損ないます。欺瞞的なマーケティング慣行や、過剰な糖分のような栄養上の問題は、製品に対する信頼をさらに損ないます。さらに、地域によって規制が異なるため、コンプライアンスコストが増大し、市場の成長が制限され、事業の拡大が困難になります。
米国では乳児用調製粉乳の供給に課題があり、市場抑制要因がさらに浮き彫りになっています。リコールと生産停止によって引き起こされた2021年~2022年の供給不足は、乳幼児の健康に直接影響を与えかねないサプライチェーンの脆弱性を露呈しました。この事件は、将来の混乱を防ぐためにリスク管理を強化する必要性を浮き彫りにしました。このようなサプライチェーンの問題は、市場の安定性に重大な障害をもたらし、消費者のアクセスとブランドの信頼の両方に影響を与えます。
