Human milk oligosaccharides find application in infant formula, functional food and beverages, and food supplements, among others. Increasing health awareness along with the rising consumption of infant formula is likely to boost the growth of the HMO market over the forecast period. The consumption of HMOs has contributed significantly to bring about a considerable reduction in the global infant mortality rate over the years. As per the United Nations International Children's Education Fund (UNICE) the under-five mortality rate was one per 11 children in 1990 which dropped to one per 26 children in 2018.

Infant formula is the largest and fastest-growing application segment for human milk oligosaccharides. High infant mortality rate and rising concerns regarding health and safety are the factors likely to boost the market growth over the forecast period. HMOs play a key role in the proper development of infants. They fight life threatening infections and are also responsible for the proper development of the brain and gut.

Human milk oligosaccharides are also increasingly utilized in pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, the prebiotic effects of HMOs make them suitable to be use in functional foods and beverages and food supplements. Functional foods and beverages is the second-largest application segment of HMOs. The demand for HMOs in designing infant formulas is increasing because of the beneficial properties, such as prevention from infection, memory enhancement, brain development, prebiotic effects, and improvement of gut health.

Asia Pacific is expected to be a lucrative market for human milk oligosaccharides and is expected to account for a significant share of the global HMO market revenue by 2027. The increasing demand for infant formulas and functional food and beverages as well as the rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry is expected to positively influence the market growth over the forecast period.

Recent years have witnessed various developments in the infant formula space with prominent end-use companies launching new and innovative products. For instance, in April 2019, Nestlé S.A., a Switzerland-based food and beverage company, introduced three new products in U.K., namely, SMA Advanced Follow-on Formula, SMA Advanced Growing up Milk, and SMA Advanced Infant Formula. These products contained artificial HMOs and were intended for infants who were not breastfed. Such developments within the infant formula sector are likely to drive the demand for human milk oligosaccharides in near future.
