Summary

“Italy Baby Food Market Size by Categories, Distribution Channel, Market Share and Forecast, 2022-2027” is an analytical report by GlobalData which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Italian market.

The number of live births in Italy declined by 19.6% during 2015-21, to reach 0.4 million in 2021. This resulted in a baby population of 1.2 million in 2021. However, both the crude birth rate and total fertility rates, have fallen. The GDP of Italy grew by 6.2% in 2021 primarily owing to the successful COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, while consumer price inflation stood at 1.9%. Overall growth in value terms has increased in recent years with the sector registering a CAGR of 1.0% during 2015-21. However, in volume terms, sales declined in 2021, with the sector registering a negative CAGR of 3.2%. Baby wet meals & other remained by far the largest category in value terms with over 45% of the baby food sector, followed by baby milks. The Kraft Heinz Company and Danone Group were the top two companies in 2021. The Kraft Heinz Company retained the top spot in value during 2015-21 and remained the leader in all the categories. Hypermarkets & supermarkets remained the leading distribution channel, accounting for 74.3% of overall value sales in 2021. GlobalData estimates that the number of live births will decrease over the forecast period in Italy. Consequently, the market for baby food in the country is expected to decline in value and volume terms during 2021-27, registering negative CAGRs of 4.0% and 6.1%, respectively.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
