INTRODUCTION
Along with the times, the growth of the dairy
industry in Indonesia has increased by 20 percent
each year, while the infant milk production grows 25-
30 percent per year (Priyadi, 2008). However, if it is
viewed from the business prospect for the powdered
milk or formula milk industry in Indonesia and the state
of Indonesia as the fourth largest population country
the world, it will be a good business opportunity for
formula milk industry to enter the Indonesian market
with diverse market segmentation. Each segment of
mothers from low-grade, medium to upscale need a
formula that is best for their child. Moreover, in line
with the planning of innovative marketing strategy
such as interesting product packaging, it can dominate
Indonesian formula milk market. Table 1 shows the
data of market share of eight top brands in formula
milk with the largest amount of sales volume from
2013 to 2015 in Indonesia.
The main target of infant formula milk industry
at the moment is the mothers in ‘Y’ generation
or millennial moms. Over the past two decades,
‘Y’ generation or millennial mom has become an
important part of market segment (Noble, Haytko, &
Phillips, 2009). According to Goggin et al. (2014) in
