As per the World Bank, the female labor force participation in the MENA region reached 19.8% in 2019. Furthermore, the high birth rate in the Middle East region as compared to other regions is one of the key factors, driving the market of baby food.

As per UNICEF, more than 50% of infants under three months of age in the region are currently fed complementary foods or breast milk substitutes as the duration of breastfeeding is gradually declining in most countries in the region, and especially in urban areas, due to aggressive advertising of formula milk and poor maternity arrangements. Moreover, inappropriate feeding practices are a major cause of malnutrition among children in the Middle East and North Africa region. Countries with high and medium rates of exclusive breastfeeding include Syria (71.2%) and Egypt (57%). Those in the lower bracket include Iraq (30%), Jordan (26%), Kuwait and Lebanon (27%), and Yemen (23.3%)
