Boom for sales of baby products

Rising awareness of parents lifts demand for safe products, says GfK survey

Demand for safe child-care products will continue to grow in China as safety awareness among young parents increases, said a report released in Shanghai on Thursday.

Total retail sales of accessories for feeding such as nursing bottles and spoons made of safe materials in China may expand to more than 5 billion yuan ($800 million) this year, while vehicle-use child safety seats and baby monitors may see renewed demand, said the report published by GfK, a global market monitoring and research services provider.
