This would in turn boost the demand for branded products among the end-users, supporting the market growth. For example, according to the Kids Count Data Center (The Annie E. Casey Foundation), around 27% (19,938,860) population in the U.S. are between 0-4 years of age group. Rising population under this age group will boost the demand for canned and jarred baby food, snacks, cereal and juice, driving the market growth father.
On the other side, the US baby food market is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) laws, which require that the products should be produced under sanitary conditions, and must not contain any harmful substances.
