The rising demand for premium baby formula is driving the market, as parents increasingly seek high-quality, nutrition-rich products for their infants. Additionally, the growing popularity of gut health is fueling market growth, with consumers becoming more aware of the importance of infant digestive health and its role in overall well-being.

North America Dominated the Market in 2023:

In 2023, the North America region held the largest share in The Human Milk Oligosaccharides Market due to strong demand for infant nutrition solutions and increased investments in HMO research and production. This region benefits from progressive initiatives such as the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), which supports access to donor milk, and the U.S. Breastfeeding Committee's advocacy for inclusive feeding practices and broader access to human milk and formula alternatives. In recent years, various North American government agencies and organizations have collaborated on research to ensure the stability and growth of the infant formula market. For instance, in May 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) partnered with NASEM to conduct a study aimed at guiding the agency’s future long-term strategy for strengthening the U.S. infant formula supply. This strategy will focus on diversifying approaches to enhance the resilience of the formula supply chain, enhancing formula diversity and improving nutritional standards. 

 Human Milk Oligosaccharides Market: Key Takeaways

Rising Demand for Premium Baby Formula

The rising demand for premium baby formulas is significantly driving market growth. Parents are increasingly seeking high-quality, nutrient-rich alternatives that replicate breast milk's benefits. Premium formulas often include specialized ingredients like human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), probiotics, and DHA, which enhance immune function, brain development, and digestive health. For example, in June 2023, Chr. Hansen's (now Novonesis) 6’-SL HMO mix was approved for use at the highest levels in infant and follow-on formula in the EU. Additionally, in November 2024, Abbott and Reckitt secured a win in an infant formula trial, further emphasizing the competitive and growing market. This trend is also fueled by the growing awareness of the long-term health benefits associated with these advanced formulas, leading to increased investment in research and product development by leading brands.

Growing Popularity of Gut Health

The growing popularity of gut health in early childhood development is significantly driving the market, being influenced by various factors, including birth delivery methods and natural surroundings. A study published in PLOS ONE in August 2023 revealed a link between gut microbiome diversity in infants and cognitive development. The findings suggested that outdoor exposure and a diverse environment contribute to shaping a healthier gut microbiome, which in turn may enhance cognitive abilities.  As with an increasing focus on maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, products enriched with prebiotics, such as Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs), are gaining attention. HMOs play a vital role in shaping the gut microbiota, supporting immune functions, and preventing harmful bacteria growth. This has led to the rise of infant formulas and functional foods specifically designed to promote digestive health and immunity, aligning with current consumer trends towards healthier, more natural nutrition solutions.
