Market Overview

The global Baby Food Market was valued at US$ 96.92 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2032, reaching approximately US$ 162.83 billion by 2032. Baby food, including purees, cereals, snacks, and formula, plays a crucial role in infant nutrition, supporting the transition from breastfeeding to solid foods.

The increasing demand is driven by shifting demographics such as rising birth rates, urbanization, and the growing number of dual-income households, all of which heighten the need for convenient, high-quality, ready-to-use baby food products. Moreover, changing lifestyles, greater parental awareness about early-childhood nutrition, and a preference for convenience are pushing parents toward packaged baby food rather than homemade alternatives. Producers are responding with a wide range of offerings — from conventional products to organic, allergen-free, and “clean-label” baby food — reflecting evolving consumer priorities around safety, nutrition, and ingredient transparency.
