Sales of baby food in Ireland in 2024 inch closer back to positive gains in retail volume terms, yet still remain in a small negative slump. On the other hand, retail value is better supported by high unit prices created by inflationary pressures. Ultimately, baby food is dependent on demographic factors, so low birth rates result in lower demand. Added to which, escalating prices (especially noted for milk formula) are exacerbating financial strain on families.
