Despite these challenges, the market is expected to see slow but steady growth due to increasing urbanization and changing lifestyles.
Customer preferences: There has been a noticeable trend in Madagascar towards organic and locally-sourced baby milk and infant formula, in response to growing concerns over the safety and sustainability of imported products. Additionally, there is a shift towards plant-based alternatives, as more parents are opting for non-dairy options due to environmental and ethical considerations. This reflects a larger trend towards natural and eco-friendly products in the country's overall food market.
