(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, December 08, 2017 ) "The Baby Food Sector in New Zealand 2017", is an analytical report by Publisher which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the New Zealand market.
The baby food sector has grown by 27.2% in value terms between 2010 and 2016, although it has seen much lower volume growth (5%). Sales were held back by the fall in the number of births up to 2014, but have risen over the past two years.
Manufacturers have been able to exploit demand for baby food amongst slightly older infants. Premium products, including organic meals and pouch meals, have also met with some success and boosted value sales. New Zealanders display a high preference for local brands in their choice of food. In the case of baby food, a 2016 survey found that 62% of consumers preferred local brands to global brands, while for baby formula 57% preferred local brands, compared with 13% who preferred global brands. This is in contrast to many other parts of the world, where global brands are more trusted than local products. Although the number of births is projected to decline in 2017, the overall trend is expected to be upwards, which will have a strong positive influence on market development.
