Insight
The consumer insight behind the Luxury Infancy trend
Younger generations of parents, such as Gen Z and Millenials, are acutely aware of the potential damage of chemical ingredients. These generations grew up learning about the dangers of microplastics, processed foods, and more. This knowledge leads these parents to prefer organic, natural, and clean products for their newborn babies, and are willing to pay a premium price to ensure the products are of the highest quality. Brands are responding to these pressures with luxury products for babies.
