The Baby Food Sector in Vietnam, 2018

Summary

"The Baby Food Sector in Vietnam, 2018", is an analytical report by GlobalData which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Vietnamese market.

Vietnamese mothers have prepared fresh food for their babies but, as the economy has developed and more women have been drawn into the urban workplace, these mothers have increasingly found they have less time to spend preparing food and to spend with their young children. This, coupled with the greater availability of prepared baby food in modern retail outlets, has fueled strong growth in the baby food sector. Vietnamese consumers are concerned about nutrition, food safety, and food quality, particularly in the wake of a number of food scares in recent years.
