DuPont delivers solutions for child nutrition

The child-specific food and beverage market is expected to grow quickly over the next few years. While children play a role in purchase decisions, parents want nutritious, delicious foods that contribute to their child’s health throughout the day, including breakfast and snacks. 

Motivators behind this trend
Globally, there is a growing concern among parents surrounding the lack of product offerings that address healthy growth and development and immune, digestive and oral health. As concerns in these areas intensify, parents are actively seeking foods for meals and snacks that can satisfy hunger while improving the nutrient density of their child’s overall diet.
