With an increase inthe number of newborns and the improvement of household consumption capacity， the scale of China’s maternity and kids’ market is growing steadily. More and more women born in the 1980s and 1990s join the ranks of mothers， and the penetration rate of maternity and kids’ e-commerce users is steadily increasing， with the future looking bright for this industry. On the one hand， parents born in the 1980s and 1990s are more advanced in their consumption， and are more likely to take on more modern concepts of parenting， which brings more diversified development opportunities to the maternity and kids’ market， meaning that innovative categories are expected to grow. On the other hand， with the upgrading of consumption and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards， parents’ demand for the quality of maternity and kids’ products is also increasing， and the specialized and highend market will see sustained growth.
According to DATA.100EC.CN， from 2011 to 2019， the scale of maternity and kids’ e-commerce transactions in China continued to grow. In 2020， the transaction scale exceeded the trillion RMB mark and reached RMB 1，000.05 billion， up 9.79% year-on-year.

Security becomes an important consideration
The Report on maternity and Child Consumption Behavior in China’s Sinking Market in 2021 points out that the new generation of parents pays closer attention to product quality and is willing to give their children the best. Security has become an important consideration.
Compared with the same period in 2020， the overall performance of Tmall International’s imported baby food from March to May in 2021 was not as good as before， and the market awareness of “import = good” was gradually diluted by younger generations of maternity and kids’ consumers. Repeated outbreaks abroad bring both opportunities and challenges to the imported maternal-and-child food market.
According to the statistics of Tmall International， the online maternity and kids’ market of Tmall International has performed steadily since 2020. Affected by the promotion season， the maternity and kids’ market ushered in sales peaks in March， June and November. Nursing care products， such as those for baby skin care and maternity care， are featured with large scale and steady growth， while milk powder complementary foods， such as infant liquid milk， special formula milk powder and infant condiments， have attracted much attention due to their multi-ratio， health and organic characteristics.
Affected by milk sources， places of origin and standards， consumers still trust imported baby dairy products， but the incremental market of supplementary food for babies is concentrated on Tmall（non-international） platform. As a highspeed expansion track， supplementary food for babies has attracted more and more brands to enter. Baby care， as the star category of Tmall International’s maternal and child products， has the characteristics of large market demand and high growth rate. People in the industry believe that future brands can start from subdividing the track to create star products， such as baby sun protection， children’s emulsion cream and so on. In the first quarter of 2021， in Tik Tok， the content of milk powder received the highest attention， followed by chil- dren’s toys and nutritional supplements. The growth rate of children’s wear， diapers and wet wipes， and nutritional supplements ranked the top three， indicating that parents are more concerned and interested in video contents about children’s eating， wearing， and using.
As for baby diapers， apart from comfort， parents born in the 1990s pay more attention to appearance. Manufacturers regard appearance as one of the selling points of diapers through IP cooperation. In 2018-2019， the sales of IP authorized products in Tmall’s maternal and child industry increased， including milk powder， complementary food， nutrition and snacks， which increased by 230%. Sales of products for babies， including diapers， increased by 47%.
Foreign brands actively expand their product lines to sink the market. Laxman Narasimhan， CEO of Reckitt Benckiser， believes that the potential of China’s low-end market in the future is regarded as a boost. In order to seize the third and fifth tier markets in China， Reckitt Benckiser will adopt a series of innovative models. Thierry Philardeau， global head of Nestle’s nutrition strategy business， said that he would sink into the western China market and the third and fourth tier markets， and planned to enter 10，000 maternity and kids’ stores in the next 18 months.
In addition， research shows that the market of early education and educational toys shows great potential， with the number of commodities and the average price of commodities rising continuously， which is far faster than the whole toy category， and products see innovation and upgrades. It is a brand opportunity to dig deep into the educational training of children in different scenes.
In the first quarter of 2021， statistics from TikTok show that among videos containing various keywords of mother and child， the videos of kindergarten， early education and children’s songs have the highest broadcast volume， and the videos containing educational toys and Lego related keywords also rank in the forefront， which shows that everyone has a high demand for children’s content in intellectual development and logical thinking exercise， and early education and parent-child content are highly valued.
