Summary Boosted by rises in the number of babies being born, consumption of baby food in Russia has risen by 51% since 2009. The market has continued to grow despite the economic crises that have hit Russia. Most parents have been willing to sacrifice their own spending in order to be able to maintain expenditure on baby food. The expansion of modern retailing and the reduction of regionality in distribution are making baby food more widely accessible. Value sales have been buoyant as a result of both rising consumption and an underlying trend for consumers to gradually trade up from low-priced to mid-priced goods, which particularly benefited the top brands of the leading domestic players.
Key Findings - Retail sales of baby food rose by 154% between 2009 and 2015, despite the economic crisis that had beset the country.
- All sectors showed strong growth between 2009 and 2015, with value sales more than doubling across the board. The market for baby meals is well developed and these account for 50% of volume, ahead of milks on 21%.
- Domestic production of dehydrated baby milks is limited, with major technological barriers to entry. By contrast, the domestic industry for cereals, meals, and juices is strong. Imports of milks and cereals rose strongly (+72%) between 2009 and 2014 but fell back sharply in 2015, accounting for 70% of import volume.
- Although there are many local and international competitors in the market, it is relatively concentrated, with the top five - three local companies and two multinationals - accounting for nearly four-fifths of the market in volume terms. The multinationals have a much stronger position in value terms, with Nestlé and Danone together holding 48% of value sales, but only 32% of volume.
