So it could be assumed around 101 million females were born in China in that decade. These are now women of 23-33 years old and are and will be the young mothers in the next few years.
A majority of these women, according to a Chinese guy that I work with, will not have any siblings so will fall into the recently announced relaxation of the one child policy. No doubt a fair percentage of them will want to have more than one child. I am not going to guess what percentage but whatever it will be, it is clear the numbers are huge.
This can only be a positive for infant formula manufacturers, including ATM.
