South Africa Baby Food Market Share, Size, Trends, Growth, Costs and Price

Although many consumers have been hard pressed over the last two years or so, as levels of consumer debt have mounted, the market for baby food has so far been fairly resilient, as purchases are predominantly still made by the upper income groups, who have suffered less than others from the difficult economic situation. Research published by Analytics Business Intelligence indicates that in 2011 some 41% of users of baby food were light users (bought one or two units of baby food in the previous four weeks), 31% medium users (three to five units), and 28% heavy users (six or more units). The proportion of heavy users fell by two percentage points in 2011 compared with 2009, while the proportion of light and medium users rose by one percentage point in each case.
