据外媒报道，据中国海关数据统计，今年上半年中国婴儿配方奶粉的进口总值，同比增长25%，较前年同期增长42%。
去年中国婴儿配方奶粉进口值达24.7亿美元，其中大约75%进口自欧洲，消费量约占全球市场的1/3。由于需求强劲，中国进口婴儿配方奶粉的价格居高不下，而其它乳制品则呈下降趋势，今年上半年每吨的价格同比减少5.4%。
报道指出，婴儿配方奶粉进口持续增长的主要驱动力是网购的普及，住在小城镇的父母，虽然住家附近商店买不到外国婴儿配方奶粉，但可以在网络上订购。
根据瑞士银行（UBS）的分析，2010年中国大陆婴儿配方奶粉的销售，约2%来自网购，到了2015年这个数值增长到22%，预期随着都市化及互联网的普及，会有更多人网购婴儿配方奶粉。
市场调研公司欧睿国际（Euromonitor International）分析，未来五年中国婴儿配方奶粉市场预计将增长一倍以上，2020年时将达到人民币2463亿元。

China's growing love affair with internet shopping is driving up sales of foreign baby formula.
The world's largest importer brought in 25% more foreign-made infant formula by value in the first six months of this year than in the same period in 2015, according to China customs data. That increase followed a 42% rise in import value for the comparative 2014 period.
As of 2015, China made up about one-third of the world's total infant-formula market, with imports valued at $2.47 billion annually, roughly three-quarters of which came from Europe. Prices for imported infant formula have stayed high, unlike prices in the broader dairy sector, whose products fell 5.4% per metric ton in the first half from the previous year.
