Europe Baby Drinks Market Driven by Rising Awareness among Parents about the Variety of Baby Juices

Baby drinks market in Europe is estimated to be affected by various patterns of demand in the different countries of Europe. Changes in lifestyle and high nutrition content of infant formula are the main reasons for consumer preference towards infant formula. In addition to that, increase in number of working mothers have increased the demand for infant formula as they do not have enough time to breast feed their babies. Major factors responsible for the growth of infant formula includes busy lifestyles, high nutrition content and infant formula as a substitute for breast milk in the major countries of Europe. Major countries include U.K, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Spain among others. The distribution channel of baby juice is not so well established as infant formula with low penetration rate. Moreover high sugar content of baby juice makes it a less preferable option.
