The forecast for infant food residuals in the US indicates a slight upward trend in reducing residual volumes from 2024 to 2028, starting at -25,000 metric tons in 2024 and anticipated to reach -23,000 metric tons by 2028. This shows a consistent decrease in residuals, reflecting a potential improvement in efficiency or changes in demand.
When analyzing year-on-year variations, there is a significant reduction in the decrease rate from 2024 to 2025, stabilizing somewhat in subsequent years. The CAGR over this five-year period suggests a moderate annual improvement in managing infant food residuals.
Future trends to watch include advancements in baby food production technology and supply chain efficiencies, which could further affect residual reduction. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences and regulatory changes towards sustainability might influence these forecasts.
