Africa Baby Feeding Bottle Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Shift in the Preference toward Acceptance of Infant Formula and Ventilated Feeding Bottles

Infant formula provides essential nutrients to the baby and helps in the efficient growth of the baby's healthy development. In addition, it is widely used in cases of issues such as poor maternal health, when a baby is unable to breastfeed, malnutrition, or in the absence of a mother. These formulas are fed to the baby by a ventilated bottle, which helps keep the baby healthy and prevents any problems that may erupt during bottle feeding. Therefore, the rising acceptance of infant formula and perfectly ventilated feeding bottles are contributing to the growth of Africa baby feeding bottle market.

• Increase in the Breastfeeding Problems

This has increased the demand for baby feeding bottles in these countries to feed babies and prevent them from various health-related problems and diseases that are caused due to malnutrition. People are becoming more aware of the necessary nutrition a baby needs for their development. As women cannot breastfeed their babies, they use baby feeding bottles to feed them with infant formula, milk, or other foods to fulfill the necessary nutritional intake.

Opportunities

• Growth in Commercializing of BPA-Free Baby Feeding Bottles

The use of bisphenol A (BPA) in plastic baby bottles can cause nervous and behavioral problems in infants and children. Therefore, BPA and chemical-free baby bottles are environmentally friendly, easy to care for, and free of toxins that can seep into powdered milk. Similarly, glass is resistant to high temperatures, making it easier to wash glass bottles with hot water and sterilize them with any heating method. However, BPA can leak into the bottle's liquid or food, and heating the container may make more BPA leak out.

• Shift in the Preference toward Adoption of Glass and Silicone-Based Bottle

The modern glass baby bottles are much safer than the earlier times. Many sorts of glass baby bottles are tempered glass, which does not break easily. Apart from this, unlike plastic, glass and silicone bottles do not easily catch odor or any stain from their environment, which helps the baby to get the utmost taste of their milk. Also, these glass and silicone bottles never lose their shape and never melt when heated at high temperatures. This, in turn, increased the demand for feeding bottles and thus will contribute to the growth of the Africa baby feeding bottle market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Regulation Scenario Related to the Production and Usage of Plastic in the Baby Feeding Bottle

Due to the necessarily intimate involvement with the science, technological, logistical, and managerial disciplines required to make the supply system of baby accessories work, baby equipment manufacturers have been involved in the standardization process regarding toxic chemical substances used to produce the bottles at national and international levels. They are required to bring into their knowledge the standards used in the production process to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness and thus resulting in the safe delivery of products.

• Health Concerns Associated with Plastics used to Manufacture Feeding Bottles

Feeding bottles require intensive sterilization and regular cleaning. Plastic bottles cannot bear high temperatures and tend to lose shape and size during heating and may demold. Moreover, plastic bottles cannot be kept at shallow temperatures as it increases the likelihood of chemicals leaching into the liquid. As plastics are synthetic polymers of carbon and other elements, the use of plastics for the feeding bottles tends to create several health problems among the babies including diarrhea, skin irritation, and various others.
