Italy Baby Food Market 2025

Expected to undergo a minor decline, the Italy baby food market is likely to decrease from USD 991.3 million in 2024 to USD 956.1 million by 2030, with a projected CAGR of -0.6% from 2025 to 2030. This downturn is driven by Italy’s aging population and a consistent drop in birth rates, which have led to a shrinking consumer base for baby food products. Despite the country’s growing interest in organic and high-quality food products, these trends have not been sufficient to offset the overall demographic challenge. Economic stagnation, coupled with inflationary pressures, has made it difficult for many Italian families to afford premium baby food options, pushing them towards more budget-friendly alternatives or homemade solutions. The declining birth rate, alongside an increasing number of households choosing to delay or forgo having children, further exacerbates the market’s contraction.
