The growth of the baby care products market is significantly influenced by an increase in spending on infant care. Parents are increasingly investing in baby care products to ensure the hygiene and well-being of their infants, involving activities such as feeding, diaper changes, and maintaining overall hygiene. For example, in May 2023, American parents with children under the age of five spent over $42 billion on childcare, emphasizing the growing expenditure in this sector. This surge in spending on infant care is a key driver behind the growth of the baby care products market.
The increasing infant population is anticipated to drive the growth of the baby care products market in the future. The infant population encompasses the number of infants or newborns within a particular demographic or geographic area, ranging from birth up to one year of age. Baby care products cater to the unique needs and sensitivities of infants, offering a wide range of items, including skincare products, diapers, feeding supplies, safety equipment, and nursery essentials. For example, in May 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK-based government department, reported that the proportion of deliveries to women from ethnic minority groups (excluding white minority groups) increased from 22.9% in the financial year ending 2022 to 25.3% in the financial year ending 2023. Additionally, the rate of caesarean section deliveries rose from 34.7% in the financial year ending 2022 to 37.8% in the financial year ending 2023. Moreover, hospital admissions for infants under 14 days old increased from 81.6 per 1,000 population in the financial year ending 2022 to 84.8 in the financial year ending 2023. Thus, the rising infant population is a key driver of growth in the baby care products market.
