Indonesia Baby Food

Indonesia Baby Food

Summary

“Indonesia Baby Food, 2019” is an analytical report by GlobalData which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Indonesian market.

Although the birth rate has declined, it remains high, putting a strain on housing, water, and employment. Despite some progress, the economy is less developed than most in the region, and high poverty levels persist. However, a growing middle class is emerging, and commercially prepared baby food is attractive to this group. Baby milks continue to dominate, led by growing-up milks, which account for 63% of all baby food sales. Demand for cereals & dry meals is limited and growing only slowly, while wet meals, drinks, and finger foods remain highly marginal. All five top suppliers have local production capacity, producing significant volumes of milks and cereals for domestic consumption and export. The top two players hold a combined share of 65% of baby food sales. Nestlé has a substantial lead, followed by Danone with its Sari Husada and Nutricia businesses. Local company, Kalbe Farma, ranks third, via Sanghiang Perkasa (the licensee for Morinaga's milks, as well as Milna cereals and rusks). It is followed by international milk companies, notably FrieslandCampina, Mead Johnson, and Abbott. Three-quarters of baby food is distributed through food outlets. There is a growing number of specialist baby stores. The sector will face competing trends, with declining live birth numbers and falling breastfeeding rates counterbalanced by a strong economy, a growing middle class, and a desire to feed children with healthy nutrition.
