Ireland is unique in Europe in that we are experiencing a baby boom (despite the recession!), and it looks set to continue for some time…

Ireland’s baby population is growing – along with the number of parents in their early thirties:

The number of births now back to levels last seen in 1970s (and 1890s!):

The combination of surging 30-somethings and rising age at birth of first child will contribute to rising birth numbers:

Young families will account for growing share of spending:

Page 15: Follow the Mommy

Families with children account for nearly two thirds of all disposable income and over 70% of spending:

= €56 billion of spending in 2012

Page 16: Follow the Mommy

The Bloom Boom: Irish families with children will account for a growing share of consumer spending over the next five years, and will lead the recovery in Irish consumer markets.

Ireland’s young families have not ‘escaped’ the recession – far from it – and many are keeping very tight control of their spending purse strings…

Irish moms are mainly responsible for groceries:

Household incomes are under pressure:

Ireland’s baby boom and the surge in spending by young families will be the biggest opportunity of the decade ahead But it won’t be easy: not only is competition tense (and loyalty fragile), but moms are increasingly sophisticated in their access to multiple sources of information, advice and influence – including each other Those brands that can win the trust of Irish moms – and remain relevant through the crucial stages of young family development – will reap long-term benefits

So just follow the mommy…
