Rapid urbanization led to the growth of modern lifestyles, which influenced many to begin spending more money on baby food and infant formulas. The global baby food market reached revenues of $11.4 billion in 2012 and the future of the market is expected to slow, reaching about $14.1 billion by 2017. Key challenges facing the industry are declines in birth rates in developed countries and global competitors.
