The organic baby formula market was valued at $7.2 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $17.7 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2024 to 2033.
Organic baby formula is a milk or plant-based formula specifically designed for infants that is made from ingredients that meet organic standards. These standards ensure that the formula is free from pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), synthetic fertilizers, and artificial additives, making it a preferred choice for parents who prioritize natural and minimally processed foods for their babies.
The growth of the global organic baby formula market is driven by increase in awareness of potential health risks associated with synthetic ingredients and GMOs. Moreover, rise in concerns over pesticide residues, additives, and hormones in conventional formulas are pushing parents toward organic products, which notably contributes toward the market growth.
According to a survey conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) in 2023, 40% of the conventional baby food products contained toxic pesticides. The research analyzed 73 products, among which 22 of them contained at least one pesticide. Thus, the study indicates a growing trend among parents toward minimizing their infants’ exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
In addition, availability of organic baby formulas that cater to specific needs, such as lactose-free, soy-based, or hypoallergenic options, makes them accessible to a wider range of infants with diverse dietary needs, thus driving the market growth. Furthermore, supportive regulatory framework to promote organic farming and regulate baby formula ingredients strictly is boosting the growth of the market. However, higher cost associated with organic baby formula as compared to conventional formula acts as the key deterrent factor of the global market. Moreover, organic baby formula is less widely available than conventional formula, particularly in rural and underserved areas, which restrains the market growth.
On the contrary, innovations in nutrition science and technology are enhancing organic baby formulas to more closely resemble breast milk. This includes improved protein and fat compositions, as well as added nutrients for brain development, aiming to offer a closer match to the natural nutrition profile of breast milk. Such developments are expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.
