The Challenge

Establish accurate forward-looking commodity ingredient demand for infant formula production globally, with country-level growth forecasts, to support investment targeting decisions on which markets warranted capital deployment.

Available public data was fragmented across regulatory filings, customs records, industry associations and commercial reports. A coherent country-by-country picture required deep technical knowledge of formulation chemistry combined with demographic modelling.

The Approach

  • Review of infant formula recipe formulations and processes to establish accurate per-tonne commodity ingredient consumption data
  • Up-to-date statistics on global population and birth rates by country
  • Cross-referencing of demand model against established total global infant formula consumption
  • Country-by-country growth forecasts based on demographic and economic drivers

The Outcome

A defensible commodity demand forecast at country level, identifying the highest-growth markets for the client's investment focus. The technical credibility of the bottom-up recipe modelling — rather than top-down market estimates — was the key differentiator that supported the client's investment thesis.
