Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global HMO Formula Milk market size was valued at US$ 4013 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 7971 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 10.7% during review period.
HMO (Human Milk Oligosaccharides) Formula Milk is a type of infant formula that incorporates human milk oligosaccharides, a unique group of complex carbohydrates naturally found in breast milk. These oligosaccharides play an essential role in promoting the development of the infant’s immune system and gut microbiota. HMO formula aims to mimic the beneficial properties of breast milk, offering added support for babies who may not have access to breastfeeding or who require a supplement to their diet. The inclusion of HMOs in formula milk can support the immune system, help prevent infections, and contribute to optimal gut health, making it an important development in the field of infant nutrition.
The product range for HMO formula milk typically includes various types of formula tailored for different infant needs, such as:
Standard HMO formula: Aimed at healthy, full-term babies to provide complete nutrition.
Preterm HMO formula: Designed for premature or low birth weight infants, providing additional support for their sensitive digestive systems.
HMO formula for sensitive stomachs: For infants who experience digestive issues, including colic or reflux.
HMO formula with probiotics or other supplements: Combines HMOs with additional nutrients to support gut health or immune development.
These formulas are available in powdered form, ready-to-feed liquid form, and concentrated liquid form, depending on consumer preferences and convenience.
The market for HMO formula milk has seen rapid growth over recent years, driven by several key factors. The increasing awareness of the health benefits of HMOs, which mimic the composition of breast milk, is a significant driver. Parents are becoming more conscious of the importance of gut health and immune system development for infants, particularly in the early months of life. As a result, the demand for HMO-based formulas is rising, particularly among parents who seek a formula that closely resembles breast milk.
Market Opportunities: The rising demand for premium infant formulas in emerging markets, particularly in Asia and Latin America, presents significant opportunities for companies to expand their reach. Additionally, innovations in HMO extraction technologies, such as fermentation-based production methods, are improving the supply and scalability of HMO ingredients, which is likely to reduce costs and make these formulas more affordable for a wider audience. Furthermore, regulatory approval for the inclusion of HMOs in formula milk in various regions has created a more conducive environment for the growth of this market.
Market Risks: Despite the opportunities, there are risks associated with the HMO formula market. The high cost of production is a primary concern, as human milk oligosaccharides are still expensive to extract and incorporate into formula milk. The market also faces regulatory hurdles, as the inclusion of HMOs in formula milk is subject to strict regulations in different countries. Furthermore, competition among key players, such as Abbott, Nestlé, Danone, and FrieslandCampina, is fierce, with companies continuously innovating to capture market share, which could limit opportunities for smaller players.
Market Concentration: The market for HMO formula milk is becoming increasingly concentrated, with major players dominating the space. Companies like Abbott, Mead Johnson (Reckitt), Nestlé, Danone, and FrieslandCampina hold a significant share of the market, largely due to their established brands and extensive distribution networks. However, the growing popularity of HMO formulas is also attracting new entrants, leading to increased competition and potential market fragmentation.
Downstream Demand Trends: Consumer demand for HMO formula milk is expected to continue to grow, driven by increasing awareness of the nutritional benefits of HMOs. Additionally, as more parents look for alternatives to breast milk, especially in regions with lower breastfeeding rates, the demand for infant formula, particularly premium formulations like HMO-based milk, is likely to rise.
Latest Technologies: Advances in biotechnology and fermentation processes are playing a critical role in the production of HMOs. Companies are investing in new methods to produce human milk oligosaccharides more efficiently and at a lower cost, which is expected to drive further growth in the market. The use of probiotics and prebiotics alongside HMOs is also a growing trend, as these ingredients work synergistically to support the infant's gut microbiota and immune health.
