As the immune systems are still developing, infants and young children are more susceptible to diseases from food than older people. As a result, the safety of the items and their high quality are among the most important aspects influencing the selection of the buyer. The growing popularity of organic baby food among parents is the main factor driving the demand for baby food

Urbanization rates and escalating organized retail marketing activities are predicted to drive the infant food market. Additionally, there is more demand for baby food due to declining infant mortality rates, a growth in the number of working mothers, and consumer awareness of cutting-edge baby food products worldwide.

Raising parental awareness of the nutritional requirements of infants

The parents' busy schedules and their growing interest in food, particularly organics, have both greatly influenced the recent changes in the baby food business. Parental spending on organic food is increasing because of parents' growing knowledge, which is boosting the market's expansion for baby food.  Additionally, rising consumer demand for gluten-free options is supporting industry expansion in North America. This, along with a change in consumer behaviour in nations like the United States, Canada, and Mexico, is aiding the expansion of the baby food business in the region. The baby food market is anticipated to grow as parents become more aware of its importance. 84% of parents prefer organic food for their infants, according to research by the Organic Trade Association. Foods that were grown using the fewest chemicals possible are significantly safer and are advised as choices for feeding babies.
