Infant formula application segment is expected to have a steady growth rate over the next eight
years with an estimated CAGR of 8.1%. The multifunctional protein is the key component of human
milk required for infants as they help in iron absorption and its transportation. Cow's milk contains
the multifunctional protein in minute quantities of 0.1 mg/mL, whereas infants require it in the
quantities of 2-3 mg/mL. Commercially produced infant formula with lactoferrin content has high
iron absorption, antibacterial, and antioxidation properties. This factor is projected to propel the
infant formula segment growth over the next eight years.
