for breast milk for infants aged under one year. It is available in concentrated

overall development of babies. The different kinds of baby foods include
cereals, soups, juices, and snacks comprising grains, vegetables, and fruits in

formula provide a number of products in various forms of packaging, flavors,
sizes, and nutritional value.
The report covers the present scenario and the growth
prospects of the baby food and formula market in the US for 2016-2020. To
calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the
retail sales of baby and toddler food and formula in terms of revenue and
volume.
According to the report, one of the primary drivers in the
market is expansion of product portfolios by vendors. Consumers increasingly
demand varied options in terms of blends and flavors to cater to their babies’
nutritional requirements. Leading baby food manufacturers continually update
their product lines to include new and unique products that set them apart from
the competition. In July 2013, Plum Organics launched a toddler snack range,
Mighty 4, a range of blended organic fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Further, the report states that one major challenge in the
market is stringent rules and regulations. The US government imposes stringent
regulations for the production and promotion of baby food. Vendors in the baby
food and formula market in the US have to abide the safety and quality
standards in the manufacturing of packaged baby food and formula products.
Further, the FDA's (Food and Drug Administration) Center for Food Safety and
Applied Nutrition supervises producers of infant formulas and ensures that they
conform to the nutritional requirements. Furthermore, doctors discourage
supplements for infants under six months of age and insist on exclusive
breastfeeding. Vendors are therefore prohibited from promoting infant formula
in the form of free samples. While these regulations keep in mind infants'
nutritional wellbeing, they impede growth of the baby food and formula market.
