The global pregnancy snacks market is experiencing robust growth, with an increasing focus on maternal health and wellness. In 2024, the market was valued at approximately USD 1,234 million, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4 % over the forecast period from 2024 to 2034. The rising awareness among pregnant women regarding the importance of a balanced diet is a major factor contributing to the market’s expansion.
Expectant mothers are increasingly seeking snacks that are not only convenient but also rich in essential nutrients like folic acid, iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for the health of both the mother and the developing fetus. This trend has led to a surge in demand for pregnancy-specific snack products, ranging from fortified bars and cookies to nutrient-dense smoothies and bites.
North America currently holds the largest share of the pregnancy snacks market, owing to the high purchasing power and health-conscious population. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth, driven by increasing urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and growing awareness of maternal nutrition.
The pregnancy snacks market is being driven by a combination of factors, including the rising awareness of prenatal nutrition, increasing disposable incomes, and the growing demand for convenience foods. The emphasis on clean label and organic products is also propelling market growth, as more consumers seek out natural and minimally processed snacks.
Additionally, the market presents significant opportunities for innovation, particularly in the development of snacks tailored to address specific nutritional needs during pregnancy. Companies are increasingly focusing on product differentiation through the inclusion of functional ingredients that support maternal health, such as probiotics, DHA, and other essential vitamins and minerals.

Competitive Landscape
To outperform competitors and increase sales, manufacturers utilize various strategies. One of the primary approaches is product innovation, where companies consistently introduce new flavors and formulas tailored to the evolving tastes and nutritional needs of expectant mothers. For instance, incorporating chia seeds, flaxseeds, and other superfoods leads to distinctive product offerings that help brands differentiate themselves.
Another key strategy is targeted marketing campaigns. Leveraging digital marketing channels, such as social media or influencer partnerships, enables brands to effectively connect with their target audience.
For instance,
LittleVeda: Orange Walnut cookies are crafted for the 1st and 2nd trimesters, while Paan Almond and Dates Walnut varieties are tailored for women in their 3rd trimester. These trimester-specific pregnancy cookies are available as single packets under the LittleVeda brand.
