Market Segmentation
By Food Category (Dried Baby Food, Milk Formula Market, Prepared Baby Food and Other Baby Food,)
The baby food market is dominated by the dried baby food segment as it is more convenient for busy mothers, who want to ensure the daily intake of the nutrients of the baby is met regularly. This is followed by the Milk Formula baby food market, which acts as an alternative for mother’s milk specifically for mothers who can’t breastfed their infants owing to a specific reason. Prepared baby food is the next popular segment in this market due to the time constrained lifestyle of the millennial parents in Nigeria. Moreover, prepared baby foods are available in diverse flavors and come in innovative packaging. The other baby food segment captures minimum market share in the country as it contains food such as biscuits, rusks, and other snacks like items which are not much preferred by the parents for their babies for regular consumption.
