Americas to lose ground in the market
Despite gaining 2.0 percentage points of market share between 2018 and 2023, the largest region, the Americas, will lose ground by 2028, falling 0.4 percentage points to a 38.2% share.
GlobalData attributed this drop to soaring inflation compelling parents to trade down to cheaper brands and purchase lower volumes.
Europe’s share will continue its decline in the forecast years, hindered by dwindling birth rates and economic turmoil. The region is expected to lose 1.9 percentage points between 2023 and 2028, with its share falling to 27.3%.
