Summary

The Baby Food Sector in Israel, 2018, is an analytical report by GlobalData which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Israeli market.

Baby food is sold through a large network of retail outlets, like pharmacies, supermarkets, discount stores, and other food outlets. The majority of sales are now conducted through supermarkets and discounters , which hold a share of 61% in 2017. Pharmacies (including a growing drugstore sector) are also important and accounted for 37% of sales by 2017, although their share has been undermined in recent years by the advance of supermarkets and the launch of Shufersal’s own-label milk, as well as by discount stores. In current price terms, retail sales are therefore expected to rise by 2023.
