Infant Formula Oil and Fat Ingredients Market Driven by Demand, USD 12 Billion by 2035 with 3.4% CAGR

Infant Formula Oil and Fat Ingredients Market Overview:

The global market for infant formula oil and fat ingredients is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising demand for premium nutrition, shifting parental preferences, and technological advancement. According to a recent Wise Guy report, the market in 2024 was valued at around 8.56 billion dollars and is forecast to reach about 12.0 billion dollars by 2035.

Growing Demand

Several key factors are fueling growth. Parents today are far more health-conscious, placing importance on what constitutes “quality nutrition” in early childhood feeding. The desire for formula with oil and fat components that support cognitive development, immune function, and general growth is stronger than ever.

In many developing and emerging markets—especially in Asia-Pacific including China and India—the expanding middle class and increasing disposable incomes are enabling parents to spend more on high-quality infant nutrition products.  Higher birth rates in these regions are also boosting the required supply of infant formula, which in turn increases demand for the oil and fat ingredients used in them.

Key Trends Shaping the Market

·      Ingredient Type Diversification: Vegetable oils lead among ingredient types. But there’s growing interest in micro-algal oils particularly for omega-3 fatty acids and in animal fats for specific nutritional benefits. Parents are also seeking fatty acids, sometimes in fortified or enhanced forms.

·      Shift Toward Plant-based and Sustainable Sources: The market is seeing a trend toward plant-based oils. Sustainability, ethical sourcing, non-GMO, and organic oils are increasingly in demand as consumers scrutinize origins and production practices.

·      Formulation Type Preferences: Powdered formula remains the dominant formulation type due to its convenience, shelf stability, ease of storage and cost-effectiveness. Meanwhile, liquid formula and ready-to-feed options are gaining traction, particularly among parents who prefer minimal preparation.

·      Distribution Channels and Access: Traditional channels supermarkets, pharmacies, specialty stores are important, but online retail is growing rapidly as parents seek convenience. Access and reach are expanding via e-commerce, especially in regions with limited brick-and-mortar infrastructure.

Regional Dynamics

North America and Europe continue to account for substantial market shares, supported by high health awareness, stringent regulation, premium pricing, and established supply chains. Yet, most of the aggressive growth is projected in Asia-Pacific. Countries like China and India are expected to lead expansion thanks to population size, rising incomes, and increased awareness of child nutrition.

South America, and Middle East and Africa regions also offer opportunity, though at a more modest pace, driven by improving economic conditions, growing healthcare infrastructure, and rising standards in nutrition and product safety.

Future Innovation & Challenges

Innovation is particularly strong in developing cleaner, more natural, organic ingredients. There is push for formulations that mimic components of human milk, including milk fat globule membranes MFGM, and ensuring high stability and bioavailability of fats.  Technological advances in extraction, processing, and formulation are helping improve stability, shelf life, and nutrient composition.

However, challenges remain. Regulatory standards are strict, varying widely across regions. Ensuring safety, efficacy, consistency, and traceability of ingredients is expensive. Raw material price fluctuations, supply chain constraints, and sustainability concerns e.g. around certain vegetable oils also pose risks. Innovation must therefore balance cost, quality, safety, and environmental impact.

Outlook

Looking ahead to 2035, the market is expected to show sustained, steady growth. Key opportunities lie in premium, fortified, organic oil and fat ingredients. Brands that invest in R&D for nutrient-rich blends, sustainable sourcing, and transparent supply chains are likely to distinguish themselves. Given consumer demand and regulation, the trend toward natural, plant-based, and functionally enhanced fats and oils in infant formula will only strengthen. The report points to a market increasingly shaped by health consciousness, sustainability, formulation innovation, and regional expansion.
