Executive summary
Canada's demographic landscape presents mixed opportunities for the baby snacks market. Although the total population is growing at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.6% from 2019 to 2023, and 1.2% from 2023 to 2028, declining birth rates (−2.9% CAGR from 2019 to 2023, −1.4% from 2023 to 2028) and a shrinking population of infants (aged 0-2) indicate a smaller consumer base for baby-specific products. However, delayed parenthood, rising incomes, and increasing diversity driven by net migration create opportunities for premium, health-conscious offerings tailored to multicultural preferences.
The Canadian baby food market grew from Can$681.4 million in 2020 to Can$757.4 million in 2024 (CAGR 2.7%) and is projected to reach Can$967.7 million by 2029 (CAGR 5.0%). Prepared baby food and "Other" baby food (including snacks) are key growth drivers, with expected CAGRs of 10.5% and 8.8%, respectively, from 2024 to 2029. The rise of functional, health-focused, and plant-based snacks aligns with consumer trends prioritizing convenience, quality, and sustainability.
The market is dominated by key players such as Enfamil (20.4% market share in 2024), Good Start (15%), Heinz (14.6%), and Similac (12%). Smaller brands like Baby Gourmet and Love Child are growing. Private label brands retain a 7% market share, offering cost-effective alternatives.
Natural, organic, and GMO-free claims are increasingly important, with organic products representing a significant share of launches. Textural innovations, such as meltable or crunchy snacks, and unique flavor combinations (e.g., Carrot, Lentil and Chickpea) are reshaping consumer preferences. Brands like Cerebelly and Else Nutrition lead in health-centric offerings, appealing to modern, health-conscious parents.
Store-based retailers dominate distribution, with grocery stores capturing 62.1% of market value in 2024. Health and beauty specialists are gaining traction, growing at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2020 to 2024, while e-commerce's share remains steady at 18.2%.
Canada's baby snacks market saw fluctuating product launches from 2020 to 2024, peaking in 2022. The US$2.01 - 3.00 price range dominated, with Baby Gourmet Foods and Nestlé leading. Organic ingredients were popular, and new products featured unique flavors and soft textures. Import reliance dropped in 2024, reflecting a shift towards organic ingredients and diverse flavor combinations.
Despite challenges posed by declining birth rates, the Canadian baby snacks market remains dynamic, driven by demographic shifts, health trends, and product innovation. Opportunities lie in addressing diverse cultural preferences, enhancing product quality, and leveraging consumer demand for sustainable, functional, and convenient solutions.
Demographic trends
Canada's demographic trends from 2019 to 2028 present mixed prospects for the baby snacks market. While the total population is projected to grow steadily (CAGR of 1.6% from 2019 to 2023, moderating to 1.2% from 2023 to 2028), birth rates continue to decline (−2.9% CAGR from 2019 to 2023, slowing to −1.4% from 2023 to 2028), alongside falling fertility rates. The number of babies and infants (aged 0 to 2) is expected to shrink slightly (−1.2% CAGR from 2019 to 2023 and −0.2% from 2023 to 2028), signaling a reduced base for baby-specific food products. Additionally, the population of kids aged 3 to 7 shows minimal growth (0.1% CAGR from 2019 to 2023) before a forecasted decline of −0.6% from 2023 to 2028, limiting mid-term demand for toddler-focused food products.
However, the rising average age of women at childbirth (from 31.2 in 2019 to 32.2 by 2028) suggests delayed parenthood, fostering higher disposable incomes and greater spending on child-related goods and services (Euromonitor International, March 2024). Net migration, though projected to decline after a surge from 2019 to 2023, remains a key driver of population diversity and offers opportunities to tailor products to immigrant families' preferences. These trends present opportunities to focus on premium baby food offerings that emphasize quality and health benefits. Additionally, catering to immigrant families and diverse cultural preferences could unlock further growth. With Canada's large, diverse consumer base and rising income levels, the baby food market remains dynamic and attractive despite declining birth rates.

Market overview
From 2020 to 2024, retail sales of baby food in Canada grew from Can$681.4 million to Can$757.4 million at a CAGR of 2.7%. Prepared baby food showed the strongest growth, increasing from Can$118.0 million to Can$155.7 million (CAGR of 7.2%), while "Other baby food" rose from Can$77.8 million to Can$101.9 million (CAGR of 7.0%). Milk formula grew modestly at a CAGR of 1.2%, while dried baby food declined from Can$51.1 million to Can$44.9 million (CAGR of −3.2%). From 2024 to 2029, growth in the overall category is expected to accelerate, reaching Can$967.7 million (CAGR of 5.0%), driven by strong gains in prepared baby food (CAGR of 10.5%) and "Other baby food" (CAGR of 8.8%), alongside moderate increases in milk formula (CAGR of 2.0%) and a recovery in dried baby food (CAGR of 3.1%).
In 2024, baby snacks, classified under "other" baby food, experienced marginal retail volume growth despite inflationary pressures and high average unit prices. This growth was driven by increased demand for convenient, on-the-go snacks as parents resumed busy post-pandemic lifestyles (Euromonitor International, September 2024). Functional and health-focused snacks gained prominence, exemplified by the launch of Cerebelly, a premium baby food brand emphasizing nutrient-rich and developmental benefits. Additionally, plant-based baby snacks emerged as a significant trend, with brands like Else Nutrition and Nestlé's Plantastic introducing innovative offerings tailored to vegan and vegetarian families. These developments reflect a broader consumer shift toward high-quality, health-conscious, and sustainable products. The category is expected to grow further through ongoing innovation, rising health awareness, and product diversification in the forecast period (Euromonitor International, September 2024).

Product launch analysis
In North America, baby food brands are increasingly prioritizing natural recipes to meet the growing demand for healthier and more transparent options. Parents are particularly focused on the ingredients in baby foods (Mintel, August 2024). This shift towards natural, additive-free, and organic options has led to the growth of organic and GMO-free claims, which are now common across all baby food sub-categories (Mintel, August 2024). This shift has resulted in a substantial increase in baby snack product launches in the US and Canada, which rose from 17.1% of total launches in the category to 26.6% in 2023 (Innova Market Insights, May 2024)
In Canada, the baby snacks market saw varied product launches from 2020 to 2024. The yearly product launches fluctuated, with the highest number occurring in 2022 (30 launches), followed by a dip in 2023 to just 10, before returning to 14 in 2024. Price-wise, the most frequent price group was US$2.01 - 3.00, which dominated the market across all years, peaking in 2022 with 15 launches. Companies such as Baby Gourmet Foods and Nestlé were the leading players, with Baby Gourmet launching the most products (2 in 2020, 6 in 2022, and 6 in 2024). Top claims in ingredients included organic and natural, with organic claims consistently leading the market, especially in 2022 with 27 organic product launches. The most common product types were new products and relaunches, with new varieties and packaging also seeing notable activity. In terms of flavor, banana and apple & strawberry were the most popular, though unique blends like Carrot, Lentil & Chickpea and Strawberry & Beetroot were introduced. Textures such as melt-in-the-mouth and crunchy snacks were preferred, with an increasing trend towards soft and light textures in recent years. Import data showed that a significant number of products were imported, though the reliance on imports decreased in 2024. Overall, the product launches in the baby snacks market demonstrate a shift toward organic ingredients, varied textures, and an evolving range of flavors, particularly those combining fruits and vegetables.
