According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Organic Baby Food Market by Product and Distribution Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022–2031,” the global organic baby food market size is expected to reach $34,818.7 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2022 to 2031.

Rise in parental concerns with respect to baby’s health and nutrition, increase in awareness about health benefits of organic products, eco-friendly farming techniques, rise in disposable income of consumers, growth in standard of living encourages the adoption of organic baby food products, and improved distribution channels in the industry drive the organic baby food market growth. However, premium price and certain government regulations for the approval of organic food & beverage may hamper the market growth. Various government initiatives and investment of government and private investors in the organic baby food industry are expected to provide numerous growth opportunities for the market players. Moreover, increase in working women and growth of nuclear families have led to the adoption of organic baby food products.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 resulted in a spike in the demand for the organic baby food. This sudden growth in demand is attributed to the panic buying from consumers followed by the lockdown restrictions imposed by the government to contain the spread of the virus. The closure of stores and low production owing to the lack of labor and disruptions in supply chain caused difficulties in raw materials procurement. The e-commerce channels emerged as a boon for consumers and suppliers that maintained the demand and supply for the organic baby food across the globe.”
