Baby Food Market Poised for Remarkable Growth, set to Reach USD 185.47 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.97%.

The global baby food market was valued at USD 109.02 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand from USD 115.76 billion in 2025 to USD 185.47 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.97% during the forecast period (2025-2032). Asia Pacific led the global market in 2024, capturing a dominant share of 64.16%. The U.S. market is also expected to show robust growth, reaching approximately USD 16.72 billion by 2032, fueled by increasing awareness of the importance of premium infant nutrition among American consumers.

Baby food refers to any easily digestible food apart from breast milk that is designed to meet the nutritional needs of infants. The market's expansion is being driven by rising numbers of working mothers, heightened parental concern about baby nutrition, and growing time constraints in modern lifestyles. Additionally, the high vulnerability of infants to foodborne illnesses has made caregivers more conscious of providing safe, complementary feeding options. A 2022 study by the National Library of Medicine indicated that 62.5% of infants aged 3 to 5 months were introduced to weaning foods-such as pureed vegetables, juices, and mashed foods, by the age of three months.
