Industry Prospects

Baby and child-specific products constant value sales over the forecast period are expected to be slower than those recorded over 2007- 2012. Forecast volume growth rates for most product categories are also expected to fall below the review period CAGRs. The general slowdown in volume growth terms will be mainly due to product price inflation. In the face of economic uncertainty, manufacturers will continue to add value through innovation in the form of price promotions, formats and formulations; this, coupled with rising penetration of private label products will restrict growth in total constant value sales.
