Baby food implies to the food prepared for infants aged from four-six months and two years up to nine years. It is primarily made up of minced and mashed vegetables, cereals, meats, and fruits. In the recent years, packaged baby food has been widely adopted by parents since it provides convenience and higher nutrition level. In addition, the rise in awareness among people about the numerous health advantages of feeding baby food to infants has significantly fueled the growth of the baby food market.

Although millennial parents prefer less kids, they adopt the “quality over quantity” approach. They prioritize organic foods and chemical-free baby products and are ready to purchase products at a higher price. In the coming years, brands providing high quality fresh foods will experience elevated growth. In addition, meal-kit delivery services of packaged baby food have become a pioneer in the baby food retail industry. They offer home delivered organic and nutrient-rich ingredient baby food on subscription basis. With the rise in demand for fresh and clean labelled baby food products, the direct to consumer platform has gained momentum.
