With births falling to a historic low of ~77,500 in 2024 (TFR 1.38), the consumer base is shrinking — yet per-child spending is rising as parents trade up to premium, organic, and clinically validated products. The market is moderately concentrated, with the top three manufacturers holding ~25% combined retail value share. Entry is viable for premium, natural, or specialised brands, but volume-led commodity plays face structural headwinds from demographic decline and private-label pressure."}}}
