Buyer inquiries for Infant Formula on Freshdi reached 5 in the 30 days to 14 November 2026, down 50% from the previous 30 days.
Only 29 suppliers are actively listing Infant Formula, and just 6 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — a sign that the category is relatively stagnant in terms of supply refresh. For buyers, this means the market is not evolving quickly, so it's crucial to act fast when engaging with suppliers, as new inventory or pricing changes are unlikely to appear organically. There are 64 active listings, which offers a decent range of options across different formulations and packaging sizes. While not a deep catalog, the volume still allows buyers to find a match for standard needs without having to start from scratch with a custom request. Suppliers come from 11 different countries, with the United States accounting for 27.6% of the supply. This geographic spread provides buyers with multiple sourcing options, especially for those seeking regional differences in formulation or compliance standards. Buyer inquiries dropped 50% to just 5 in the last 30 days compared to the prior period — a sharp decline that suggests reduced interest or potential supply chain disruptions. This could mean lower competition now, but also a higher chance of securing a deal if a buyer acts before the market reactivates.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Infant Formula had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, less than half the number from the previous month. The catalog is updating slowly, so the offers available today are not as fresh as those seen a month ago. Check the listing date when comparing two similar offers to see which one is closer to current availability.
Is the market busy?
12 of the 29 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a large share of newcomers. The category includes both long-standing sellers and those who have recently joined, which expands the pool of options. Newer suppliers have less history to evaluate, so buyers must look closely at their listing consistency. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out.

Can these suppliers be trusted?

A majority of suppliers list a certificate, 17 of 29, and HALAL is the most common, held by 3 of them. For a shipment requiring HALAL certification, filtering for that standard helps narrow the list to suppliers who meet it. For other requirements, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front.

What are the selling conditions, and where do the two sides disagree?
Part A reads the supply side on its own terms — price, trade term, MOQ, origin. Part B puts buyer demand next to it and measures the gaps in percentage points.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Infant Formula listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 9 November 2026 - 64 active listings, 8 buyer requests, 13 source documents, and 144 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Infant Formula type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Infant Formula, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |

| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
