Room for growth in European baby food market
Article Abstract:
The European market for baby foods and drinks was worth an estimated more than $4 billion in 1996, and this could rise to around $4.5 billion in 2000. However, sales are predicted to fall slightly after that time, especially as the birth rate continues to decline. There will be particular problems for certain product categories aimed at infants under 12 months. The wet meals category continues to perform well, but the dairy foods category is regarded as having most potential.

Positive signs in east European baby food market
Article Abstract:
The eastern European baby foods industry is showing signs of growth with Hungary performing best of countries in the region. Wet foods in jars are popular, but Hungary does not have a tradition of rusks. In Slovakia, mothers tend to make food for babies themselves using raw ingredients. Slovakia is forecast to have a high birth rate, and this should improve prospects for the baby food market, which looks set to grow at a higher rate than eastern Europe as a whole.
