3. Informed, educated parents
Today’s generation of parents stands out
for being better informed and much more
tech-savvy than their past counterparts.
This means an increased demand for
more personalized product choices.
Growing number of women in the
workforce
This means a higher average disposable
income of the family and rising expenses
on products that are better quality and
specific to their family needs.
Busy lifestyles
Consumers are busier than ever before,
therefore seeking products that make
their lives easier. This is especially true
for moms as they cope with the demands
and responsibilities of work, household
chores, and child care.
Health-oriented
Parents’ innate desire to provide the best
for their children, combined with rising
concerns about harsh chemicals in
personal care products is resulting in an
intense movement towards natural,
organic, ‘free-from’ baby product formats.
Rising affluence of emerging markets
Higher birth rates and stronger economy are fuelling demand
for innovation.
Despite the differences in behavior and attitudes between
consumers from different countries the desire to switch into
higher value, branded products is a common denominator.

Fastest growing countries by value (2012-2016)Growth of baby personal care has been largely fueled by
consumer demand in emerging markets
Although many countries in the developing world continue to
struggle with political unrest, natural disasters, disease, lack of
education, poverty, and other issues that severely impact their
economies and purchasing power, some nations have addressed
their internal issues and entered the global marketplace to
become significant economic powers.
These countries represent major opportunities within the
emerging market due to a combination of large populations,
more women in the workforce, rising disposable incomes,
improved level of education, and rising consumer demand.
Indonesia is showing fastest growth, with an expected CAGR of
23% in value from 2012 to 2016. Other fastest growing emerging
markets for baby personal care products over the next few years
include: Thailand, China, Brazil, South Africa, and India. Further
markets with a bright future outlook have been identified as
Romania, Poland, Russia, and Argentina.

5. Non-Toxic, No Chemicals
Natural is one of the most sought-after skincare benefits by
consumers, especially those with babies
Natural/organic ingredients is among the top three highest priority
benefits for consumers of skincare products. A significant difference
is further observed between shoppers who have 0-4 years old
children living with them as compared to those with no children
(58% against 50% who consider the benefit to be essential or high
priority).
This is explained by both baby’s immature immune system and the
fact that, unlike in adults, baby skin care products are usually
applied to most of their body surface. The result is a more intense
movement towards natural, organic versions, which are usually
perceived as safer and healthier alternatives by consumers.

However, consumers have a wrong mindset of what
constitutes a natural product
Many consumers tend to believe that natural and/or organic
products are safe for their children’s health. What most of
them still don’t know is that 100% natural does not always
mean safe as they cannot be properly preserved for a long
period of time without microbiological contamination and
often require refrigeration or expensive one-shot packaging.
This means a real need for brands and marketing personnel
to more strongly invest in consumer education as to
demystify that natural is always the healthiest and safest
alternative
