INTRODUCTION 

IN 2011 THE INFANT FORMULA 

MARKET IS FOLLOWIG 

NEW TRENDS 

In 2011 the infant formula market is still growing 

rapidly with the development of markets like Asia, 

particularly China with a growth rate close to 20% 

p.y, Eastern Europe, and in a lesser extend Middle 

East and Latin America. The development of the 

market is linked with the economic growth of those 

countries and its corollary the growing number of 

working women. 

Three main general trends are driving new product 

development: product convenience, reinforcement 

of the immune system and adapting the formula to 

the risk of obesity. 

To reach these objectives infant formula 

manufacturers have today access to more 

sophisticated ingredients. Despite the slowing down 

process of the regulation which is becoming more 

stringent in many countries, there is room for 

ingredient manufacturers to develop new 

ingredients. This trend is also reinforced by the 

opportunity represented by the gap between 

formula and mother’s milk. 

New directions of research are followed among 

which: 

Reinforce the immune system 

Several paths are followed to reinforce the immune 

system. Directly with the use of protein fractions or 

micro nutrients which increase immunity or 

indirectly through actions that improve the body’s 

function such as digestion. 

Reinforce brain and eye development 

There is today a general recognition of the 

importance of DHA in visual and neural 

development as there is a diminished absorption of 

long chain fatty acids in pre-term infants who are 

not able to stretch their fatty acid chains. The 

recommended ω6/ω3 ratio being between 5:1 and 

15:1. 

Research into these ingredients has become 

intensified during the last decade and it is now 

recognized that pre-term infants require a dietary 

source of LcPUFAS which addition has become 

generalized in their formula. 

The need for infant formulae enriched with DHA and 

ArA for non-breast-fed infants has been recognized 

by various official bodies including FAO/WHO who 

recommend that all infant formulae should contain 

DHA and ArA. A secondary benefit of LCPufas 

supplementation is to lower blood pressure in later 

childhood.

INTRODUCTION 

For eye protection some formula are supplemented 

with lutein and zeaxanthin present in mother’s milk. 

Infant digestion improvement 

The colons of breast-fed infants tend to be 

dominated by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, whereas 

those of formula-fed infants tend to have more 

diverse and adult-like microflora. Prebiotics are 

employed since they modulate the natural ecosystem 

by stimulating growth of indigenous microorganisms. 

The trend is to target species found in 

breast-fed infants as well as the prevention of 

specific diseases. They may also contain bifidus 

bacteria to improve digestion mainly by the action of 

volatile fatty acids. The most frequent combination is 

a mix of 90% GOS and 10% FOS. 

Formulae are also thickened with starch in order to 

limit infant «regurgitation». Maize starch is included 

because it is rich in amylopectine, which facilitates 

both a speedy and stable thickening of the products 

during their presence in the acid medium of the 

stomach and a good digestibility. In comfort formula 

it also improves satiety. 

Reduce the risk of obesity 

Wyeth group has recently decided to reduce the level 

of protein on the recommendations of some 

nutritionists, concerned about the progression of 

obesity during infancy. This move has been 

followed by some major companies, thus according to 

some research bodies, the link between protein and 

obesity is not proved and claim that infants from 4-6 

months begin to consume protein from sources other 

than milk. Neurotransmitters present in mother’s milk 

could also play a role. Nevertheless, a long term effect 

of high protein level on kidney is unknown. It also 

creates an unnecessary stress on immature organs.

The trend is to improve the amino acid balance. Both, 

infant and follow-on formulae must contain the equal 

quantity of essential and semi-essential amino acids 

as breastmilk. What is researched is to balance the 

blood amino acid pattern possibly relevant to the early 

stages of brain development for the neurotransmitter 

function. In that sense, formula can be supplemented 

with alpha-lactalbumin which rise the level of 

tryptophan precursor of serotonine and melatonin and 

achieve a plama amino acid profile closer to mother’s 

milk. 


α-lactalbumin 


FUTURE OF HIGH VALUE ADDED INGREDIENTS 

Infant formulae, which are derived from bovine milk or whey, 

can be supplemented with pure α-lactalbumin to more closely 

match mother’s milk in protein composition. 

α-lactalbumin is a main source of tryptophan (5g/100g) and a 

good source of branched chained amino acids. It brings 

cystein which is not synthetized by newborns and premature. 

The major users of α-lactalbumin are Asiatic producers 

especially Japanese for their starter and follow-on formulae. 

There are very few users of this protein in Europe. Star, 

subsidiary of Danone in Italy, adds alfa-lactalbumin in preterm 

and starter formula to obtain an amino acids replication 

closer to mothers’ milk. 

Lactoferrin 

Lactoferrin is most commonly used in Asia and particularly by 

Japanese companies, but now extending rapidly to other 

countries. 

For some companies, its efficacy has not been established. 

Use of lactoferrin seems also to be limited due to its cost. 

Many producers feel that the resulting increases in ingredient 

cost and in retail prices will lessen acceptance among 

mothers. The companies are waiting for authorisations and 

competitors to make the first move. 

Nucleotides 

Nuclotides are involved in nearly every facet of cellular life. 

Specially, they participate in oxidation-reduction reactions, 

energy transfer, intracellular signalling and biosynthetic 

reactions. Their polymers, the nucleic acids DNA and RNA are 

the primary players in the storage and decoding of genetic 

information. Nucleotides and nucleic acids also perform 

structural and catalytic roles in cells. No other classes of 

molecules participate in such varied functions or in so many 

functions that are essential for life. Wyeth and Abbott were 

the pioneers in nucleotide supplementation. Today, this use is 

extending. Nucleotides form the basis of DNA and RNA, are 

important in tissues with rapid turnover (for example, gut and 

immune system) and are metabolic regulators. They promote 

the immune response. 

In Europe, 5 nucleotides are authorized for supplementation 

in formulae. The major challenge for a supplier is its ability to 

formulate the different nucleotides at the required level. 

cGMP 

Casein glycomacropeptide offers many advantages such as an 

enrichment of the sialic acid, a growth factor for prebiotic, it is 

rich in threonine, increases zinc absoption and release the 

satiety hormone; It also allows to reduce the protein level 

while keeping a same AA profile. Thus, it lacks studies 

demonstrating the efficiency of the isolated molecule vs the 

molecule included in the whey matrix. 


The world infant formula 

market is growing at a pace 

of 9% p.a. in 2009. 

Together, Western Europe 

and North America represent 

33% of this market but are 

slow to increase. The fastest 

developing area is the Asian 

market that is also the 

largest (53%).

MARKET OVERVIEW BY REGION 

The US market is an oligopolistic one, 

dominated by two competitors, Ross Abbot 

and Mead Johnson, accounting for 80% of 

the market. At least one third of the market 

is supported by governmental programs. 

On the US market, infant formula product 

ranges are less segmented than in Europe.

Europe 

The Western European market is approximately 

the same size as the US in volume terms. The 

leading companies are Nestlé and Numico, but a 

large number of companies compete. This market 

is generally considered as mature with growth 

prospects only in the follow-on and “growing-up” 

segments. 

Asia 

South East Asia market is supplied by the major 

competitors. But the trend is towards joint 

ventures and the development of local production. 

The Chinese market is growing very fast, over 

20% per year. In 2008, the melamine scandal 

decreased the market by 16% in volume, but it 

still increased of 11.7% in value. Today, the 

market is slowly recovering. 

Japan is characterized by innovative use of 

ingredients such as prebiotics and specific milk 

protein fractions. This trend is also rapidly 

developing in other parts of Asia 


Infant Formula Activity 

The company has 5 production sites, where the baby milk powders 

are made using spray drying technology. The tonnage of baby milk 

powders produced per year is 30,000. 

Ingredient needs: 

• Protein supply 

Standard formula 

The use of an 80/20 Casein/ Whey protein ratio for starter and 

2nd age formula is very popular in the UK and in the 

Netherlands. The choice of the ingredient used to supply 

proteins to infant formulae will depend on two main factors, 

the price and the carbohydrate used in the formula. (…) 

Pre-term formulae 

It's containing DHA use as the protein supply WPC60 or up to 

83% of concentration for some products. 

Formula with hydrolysed milk proteins 

The Company manufactures its own protein hydrolysates 

because it is cheaper and it also facilitates the increase of 

its own experience in this field. The company also buys 

small quantities of protein hydrolysates from external 

suppliers, but this ingredient is then more expensive and 

can exhibit off-taste. 

Soy formula 

The protein used is soy isolate. The use of soy concentrates 

is not permitted in the EU. Several protein fractions such as 

alpha-lactalbumin, lactoferrin and caseinoglycomacropeptide 

(CGMP) are under investigation in 

research programs ‘X’ and ‘X’. 

Lactose 

Lactose is the most commonly used carbohydrate for two 

reasons: it is a cheap ingredient and it is naturally found in 

breast milk. 


COMPANY PROFILE EXAMPLE 

Maltodextrin 

Maize is the main source because its phosphorus content is 

lower than that of potatoes. Potatoes are the secondary 

source. Wheat cannot be used as the source must be glutenfree. 

The grade of maltodextrin used is DE 35 or DE 40. 

Starch 

Potatoes are the main source because it is cheap and its 

viscosity is higher than of maize. As a result, the use of 

starch is reduced in the formulation. 

Carbohydrate Type of formula 

100% Lactose All, but soy formula 

100% Maltodextrin Soy, lactose-free and hypoallergenic 

formulas as well as for export to India and 

China. 

Lactose + 

maltodextrin 

Some formulas 

Starch + lactose Some formulas 

Sucrose Follow-up formulas in some countries 

• Fat supply 

Different fat blends can be used, but essentially a canola, corn, 

sunflower (with high oleic acid), palm, coconut blend and GMO 

free. Medium Chain Triglycerides are found in predigested 

products. MCT are used in formulae along with partly hydrolysed 

proteins. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) are used in preterm 

formulae. The source of this ingredient is egg lipids, fish oil 

and DHA, ARA (single cell triglycerids), the cheapest being the 

fish oils.
