China continues to dominate the Asia-Pacific baby food market, with over 140 million children under age 6, and an average family expenditure of ¥17,000 to ¥25,500 per child annually. While the birth rate has slowed, the high per-child spending, growing middle class, and policy support from the Chinese government have accelerated market development.

Data from the China Research Center for Children’s Industry shows that in 80% of households, children account for 30–50% of total expenses, underlining the strategic importance of the infant and child care product industry.
