Philippines Baby Food Market Trends
The Filipino baby food sector’s sales will largely depend on the country’s overall economy and the growth in disposable income of families with babies. The Filipino Government has laws in place to support breastfeeding. The Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Program, initiated by the Department of Health, offers breastfeeding education, information, and assistance as part of its primary care services. This has also promoted women’s participation in the workforce, even after their maternity breaks. Thus, favorable government policies coupled with a greater number of dual-income households will drive the Philippines’ baby food market growth.
