The projected demand for infant food in Germany from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease in negative volume changes. This trend is evident with a consistent annual reduction of 1000 metric tons per year from 2024 to 2027, resulting in a relatively stable -4000 metric tons for 2027 and 2028. This indicates a steady convergence toward lower negative demand fluctuations. The decrease in demand began prior to 2024, resulting in reduced sales since 2023.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Demographic shifts affecting birth rates and thus demand for infant food.
- Potential policy changes in child benefits or family support programs within Germany.
- Developments in the infant nutrition segment, such as organic or specialized products gaining traction.
- Societal trends toward breastfeeding or alternate feeding practices impacting demand.
- Economic factors influencing consumer spending and priorities regarding infant nutrition.
