 Market Definition

Baby food is a soft mash of fruits, vegetables, and cereals that is prepared for children aged four months to two years. It is thought to be an ideal substitute for breast milk due to the presence of essential nutrients that aid in the growth of infants. As babies lack the necessary muscles and teeth to chew properly, baby food serves as their primary source of nutrients. Parents have shifted to packaged foods over the years because of the convenience and better nutrition they provide.

Baby Food Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Rising working women population and demand for ready to eat products

The demand for baby food is increasing as the number of working women increases and there is a rapid shift toward convenience foods, propelling the baby food market. The organisation of modern households is changing, with most adults lacking time for home administration, particularly food preparation and cooking. As a result, demand for ready-to-eat or packaged foods has increased. Furthermore, working women, especially new mothers, prefer ready-to-eat meal options. These working mothers choose packaged food for their children because it saves them time and allows them to maintain a work-life balance while also caring for domestic responsibilities.

  • Benefits in brain development and memory enhancement

The high adoption of baby food as it aids in the development of the brain, muscles, and nervous system, among other things, and the rise in consumer awareness of the product's various benefits further influence the market. Furthermore, rapid urbanisation, an increase in organised retail marketing, and malnutrition incidences positively impact the baby food market.

Opportunity

Organic products are in high demand, making them a major trend in the baby food market. According to an article published in The Hindu in 2018, inorganic baby products contain many synthetic ingredients that may cause health issues. As a result, parents are increasingly choosing organic and natural products to provide their baby with sustainable and safe nutrition. Furthermore, customers' preferences are shifting toward online channels, particularly in the current scenario of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is leading to an increase in sales of baby food via online channels in order to avoid stepping out.

Restraints

Concerns about the short shelf life, on the other hand, are expected to impede market growth. The absence of a proper regulatory framework is expected to pose a challenge to the baby food market during the forecast period.
