The trusted intelligence partner for global infant nutrition leaders

Navigating volatility in the world's most demanding market

For infant nutrition, quality and consistency are non-negotiable. Brand trust is built on a complex global supply chain where ingredient integrity is paramount. But with volatility in dairy and oil markets, controlling formulation costs without sacrificing quality is a constant battle.

Specialty ingredients

Ingredients like D90, specialized Lactose, and high-spec WPIs lack reliable, independent price benchmarks, forcing teams to negotiate with incomplete information.

Global sourcing, local blind spots

Comparing prices and true market value across global regions is nearly impossible, meaning you could be overpaying in one region while missing opportunities in another.

Formulation costs vs. market reality

When ingredient markets shift, a price swing can impact margins for years. Planning with outdated data puts long-term profitability at risk.
