Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/03/2016 -- The Philippines baby food market has undergone a volume decrease of almost 7% between 2009 and 2015, despite the fairly stable number of births up until 2012, and the subsequent gradual rise in the number of births. The development of the market has been constrained by an increase in the breastfeeding rate and low average family incomes, with a very small middle class. The structure of the market has altered only slightly in recent years. Rising levels of disposable income have driven forward sales of some premium lines for more wealthy consumers, although at the same time other families have increasingly opted for lower-priced brands, with the result that decline at constant prices has been even greater than the volume decrease.
