Customer preferences: Consumers in Guatemala are becoming more health-conscious, leading to a growing demand for organic and natural baby milk and infant formula products. This trend is driven by cultural preferences for traditional and natural ingredients, as well as concerns about the potential negative health effects of chemicals and additives in conventional products. Additionally, with the rise of working mothers and busy lifestyles, there is a shift towards convenient and on-the-go baby food options, such as ready-to-drink formula and pouches. This trend is expected to continue as the country's middle class continues to grow and prioritize convenience and health.
