In 2024, France led European sold production of food preparations for infants, followed by the Netherlands and Germany. France's production volume was notable at 241.5 million kilograms, with a modest year-on-year growth of 0.86%. The Netherlands, at 229.0 million kilograms, showed stronger growth of 3.4%. Germany lagged behind with 163.79 million kilograms and a 0.46% increase. Scandinavian countries like Denmark and Finland had mixed results; Denmark grew by 1.25%, while Finland experienced a decline of 0.95%. Remarkably, Spain experienced the highest growth among the significant producers at 4.91% YoY.
Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has varied by country but suggests general stability with pockets of robust growth, especially in Southern and Eastern European countries like Portugal, Croatia, and Lithuania. Italy, however, saw a significant decline of 52.75% YoY, signaling potential market contraction or shifts in production dynamics.
Future trends to watch include sustained growth in countries like the Netherlands and Spain, while monitoring for stabilization in markets that experienced recent declines, such as Italy and Finland. Market dynamics in sectors like organic or specialized infant foods might drive growth in countries demonstrating underused potential, indicating opportunities for targeted investments and strategic market positioning.
