The prices of organic meat products are comparatively higher than those of conventional meat products, and this factor is likely to hinder the growth of the market. The premium price reflects the higher prices involved in raising livestock in an organic system without the use of any synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, or growth hormones. The organic meat production process is expensive, takes more time, and is labor-intensive. Additionally, producers impose price premiums on the 'on-demand' products to gain an advantage. However, the price premium often decreases the affordability of organic food products, thus hindering the market's growth. Major players operating in the organic meat products market are launching new innovative products to meet the consumer's requirements for taste preferences and healthy eating.

This organic soft drinks research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global organic soft drinks market grew from $5.27 billion in 2021 to $5.51 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The organic soft drinks market is expected to grow to $6.53 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 4.4%. Increasing awareness of the benefits of organic foods and beverages has contributed to the growth of the organic soft drink market. Organic soft drinks are made from products produced by organic farming, which do not contain artificial flavours and preservatives and contain natural sweetening agents, low calories, and high nutritional value. People are becoming more health-conscious and are looking for more organic food products that they feel are healthier and safer for the environment. According to a report by Mintel in October 2019, new launches in the food and beverage industry that are certified organic have seen growth from 6% in 2009 to 10% in 2019. According to the organic trade association (OTA) organic food sector report for 2019, organic food sales rose 5.9% to $47.9 billion, outstripping 2.3% of overall food sales. The increased awareness of the benefits of organic foods has helped in the growth of the organic soft drink market. The high cost of organic products, including soft drinks, acts as a hindrance to the organic soft drink market. The cost of organic soft drinks is high when compared with that of conventional soft drinks. For example, the cost of Galvanina-Cola sparkling soda 350ml is $82.99 for 12 bottles, whereas the cost of 15 bottles of Coco-Cola 330ml costs around $27. Some of the factors that contribute to the high price of organic soft drinks are that they have no chemicals and need more labour; the gap between demand and supply; post-harvest handling costs; organic certification; cost of covering higher loss; and organic food grows more slowly, all of which are a cost to the company that eventually leads to an increase in the product cost. Consequently, the high cost is causing a hindrance to the growth of the organic soft drink market. Cannabidiol and hemp (CBD) are a new category of drinks that are fast-growing among organic soft drinks. According to the survey of 230 natural brands by New Hope Network in January 2019, 65% of the respondents are ready to launch a new CBD product within a span of 1 to 2 years. Organic soft drink companies are coming up with new CBD drinks, especially in the USA, owing to the USA farm bill in 2018 that supports the companies to sell CBD beverages. Sati Organics is selling CBD-infused soda in 3 flavours. There will be a rise in CBD drinks in the forecast period. In January 2020, Purity Organic, LLC, an organic food company based in Oakland, CA, acquired Dunn's River Brands, LLC for an undisclosed amount.

It has antioxidant properties that have positive effects on the body. Organic tea contains a higher amount of catechins such as epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin gallate as compared to conventional tea, and is claimed to be more beneficial to the human body. Moreover, the rich taste of organic tea is making it popular among individuals, increasing the consumption of tea in developed and developing economies. The changing consumer preference towards products manufactured from natural ingredients due to the health benefits that those products offer is expected to drive the organic tea market over the forecast period. The high cost of organic tea in comparison with conventional tea is expected to hinder the growth of the organic tea market. The organic tea products are sold at a premium price. This is mainly because the cultivation of organic tea does not include any artificial chemicals, which increases the production cost. The organic certification process is very costly, which is also a factor that makes organic tea 10–15% more expensive than regular tea. Furthermore, the growing demand for organic or pesticide-free tea in the international market also affects the export price. Considering all these factors, the high cost is likely to challenge the growth of this market. The manufacturers operating in the organic tea market are adopting various strategies such as new product innovations, mergers & acquisitions, and plant capacity expansion to expand their market share and global presence. For instance, The Tea Room Chocolate & Tea Company offers various organic tea-infused products, such as a 60% dark chocolate bar infused with green tea, a white chocolate bar with honey and chamomile tea, and a 60% dark chocolate bar with raspberry rooibos tea. Therefore, the trend of infusing chocolate into tea is expected to add to the demand for organic tea.

This coffee pods research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global coffee pods market grew from $6.13 billion in 2021 to $6.41 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The coffee pods market is expected to grow to $7.58 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 4.3%. The growth in the working population is projected to boost the demand for convenience products, resulting in significant demand for coffee pods.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of the working-age population is projected to rise in the coming decades, rising from 35% in 2019 to 43% by the end of 2050. The growth in the working population will result in higher demand for coffee pods and other convenience products during the forecast period.  The ban imposed on coffee pods in some regions owing to the harmful effects on the environment is likely to limit the growth of the coffee pods market. For instance, according to Organic Authority’s news published in October 2018, the coffee pods were banned in state-run buildings in Hamburg, Germany, in order to reduce plastic waste. Also, research by Packaging Online in 2021, revealed that 29,000 plastic coffee pods end up in landfill every month and almost 350,000 a year, where they won’t break down for half a millennium . The manufacturing of coffee pods uses an absurd amount of single-use plastic, and pods are not accepted by local recycling collections, which forces the majority of them to end up in landfills, creating damage to the environment. This scenario is anticipated to restrain the growth of the coffee pods market over the forthcoming years. The companies functioning in the coffee pods market are focused on new product development in order to meet the environmental requirements and to better serve their customers. The launch of compostable pods is a leading trend in the coffee pods market. For instance, in April 2019, Club Coffee announced the launch of a compostable single-serve coffee pod, which was developed to be compatible with Nespresso Original Line brewers.

This organic coffee research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global organic coffee market grew from $8.67 billion in 2021 to $10.28 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The organic coffee market is expected to grow to $14.71 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 9.4%. The increase in consumption of healthy and organic products, owing to the various benefits associated with these products, is projected to drive the growth of the organic coffee market over the forecast period. Organic coffee production avoids the use of synthetic and harmful fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, genetic engineering, artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors. According to Café Altura, an organic coffee company in the USA, organic beverages reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart failure, decrease the risk of stroke, lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, and strengthen the body's immunity. Therefore, the increasing consumption of healthy and organic products is predicted to propel the demand for the organic coffee market in the foreseeable future. The high cost of organic coffee is anticipated to limit the growth of the organic coffee market during the forthcoming years. Organic coffee is sold at a premium price (usually 20% more than conventional coffee). Cultivation of organic coffee is done using natural fertilisers and pesticides, which increases the overall production cost. Furthermore, the process of obtaining organic certification and inspection is costly, which adds up to an additional cost of around 10-15% more than that of conventional coffee. The certification and inspection costs are extremely difficult to assess as they depend on the nature and intensity of the conventional cultivation practises before the conversion to organic agriculture. Thus, the high production and certification costs increase the cost of organic coffee, thereby acting as a restraint on the growth of the organic coffee market. The rising popularity of private labels is a leading trend in the organic coffee market. Private labels are advertising their products with unique features of the product and the source of production to gain the trust of consumers. These products are gaining popularity owing to their lower price in comparison with branded products. For instance, private labels including White Coffee, Empire Coffee Roasters, and K&F Coffee Roasters are offering organic coffee to various companies to be sold under their brands. Private labels are gaining substantial popularity in organic coffee, which is likely to act as a key trend shaping the growth of the market going forward. In January 2019, The Coca-Cola Company completed its acquisition of Costa Limited from Whitbread PLC for $4.9 billion. The transaction follows approval from regulatory authorities in the European Union and China. The acquisition has given Coca-Cola a significant footprint in the global coffee business. The acquisition aims to use the strong Costa platform to expand the Coca-Cola portfolio in the growing coffee category. The Rainforest Alliance and UTZ merged in response to critical challenges such as deforestation, climate change, systemic poverty, and social inequity. It is a promising step in preventing price competition and implementing sustainability in production. The new organization created a single global certification standard to simplify certification for farmers and empower companies to build responsible supply chains more efficiently.

This gluten-free food research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global gluten free food market grew from $5.6 billion in 2021 to $5.84 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The gluten free food market is expected to grow to $6.84 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 4.1%. The increasing incidence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and celiac disease is expected to contribute to a higher demand for gluten-free food products. Celiac disease is a severe genetic autoimmune disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and affects the absorption of nutrients from food. According to National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), an estimation of 3.0 million (1 in 133) Americans has celiac disease, however 83.0% of the 3 million Americans are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. A person suffering from IBS is sensitive to gluten, and consumption of gluten-containing foods aggravates the disease system. Therefore, the rising incidence of IBS and celiac diseases is projected to boost the demand for gluten-free food over the coming years. The high cost associated with the gluten free products in comparison with the gluten containing products is anticipated to limit the growth of the market over the coming years. The replacement of gluten-containing wheat with gluten-free wheat along with the requirement of additional ingredients such as inulin, guar gum, chicory, and oligo fructose increases the production cost for the manufacturers. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), on average, gluten-free items were 242% more expensive than regular products. This is likely to increase the price for consumers. which in turn is anticipated to restrain the growth of the gluten-free products market over the forecast period. The need for gluten-free products is driving innovation across the food industry, especially in the bakery sector. For instance, Veripan, a specialist in food products, announced the launch of a "breakthrough" all-purpose flour mix for gluten-free baking. This is a completely natural solution discovered to create gluten-free bakery products while avoiding crumbly textures, dryness, and off-flavors. This scenario is to provide ample growth opportunities for manufacturers' expansion in the global market. In January 2020, Fazer Group, a Finland-based food processor, acquired the bakery and milling business of Vuohela Delicacy. This acquisition aims towards strengthening Fazer’s in the gluten-free bakery products market in Finland. Vuohela Delicacy is engaged in producing gluten-free bakery products in Finland.

This organic snack food research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future state of the industry. The global organic snack food market grew from $9.02 billion in 2021 to $9.75 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The organic snack food market is expected to grow to $13.11 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 7.7%. The growth in spending capacity of the end users, coupled with the growing health consciousness and rising consumption of organic foods by the populace owing to harmful side effects of conventional snacks, including increasing calorie content, increasing obesity, and fewer nutritional benefits, is driving the market. Moreover, the increasing spending capacity of people, especially in developing countries like India and China, is contributing to higher demand for organic snack food manufacturing over the forecast period. According to Trading Economics, consumer spending in India increased to 17962.90 INR billion in the third quarter of 2020 from 14611.64 INR billion in the second quarter of 2020. Therefore, increasing consumer spending is predicted to generate higher demand for organic snack foods in the coming years. The high cost of production is anticipated to hinder the growth of the organic snack food manufacturing market. The organic certification, cost of fertiliser for organic crops, and post-harvest handling costs are comparatively higher than those of conventional snack items, which in turn increases the price of organic snack food. This scenario is likely to hinder the demand for organic snack foods in the forthcoming years. Many food manufacturers are making new and healthy snack launches by reducing the use of artificial colours and increasingly using natural ingredients in order to meet the consumer requirements for healthier and natural ingredients. For instance, more than 11 food companies, including Chipotle, Kraft, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Subway, and other product types, removed the use of artificial colours and flavors. Moreover, government bans on artificial flavours are a major opportunity for organic snack food manufacturers for future expansion. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the FDA removed six of the ingredients from the FDA’s approved list, which included ethyl acrylate, benzophenone, myrcene, pulegone, eugenyl methyl ether, and pyridine. This scenario is predicted to boost the demand for the organic snack food market during the forecast period (2019 to 2023).

The lactose-free food market consists of sales of lactose-free food and related services. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and food with ingredients including milk and whey. Lactose-free food is used as an alternative to dairy-free food items. Lactose-free dairy products contain an enzyme called lactase that helps in breaking down milk sugar galactose to avoid stomach problems such as abdominal cramping, gas, diarrhoea, and bloating in people with lactose intolerance. Lactose-free food items include soya yogurts and cheeses; oat milk; rice milk; coconut-based yogurts and cheeses; carob bars; and foods with "dairy-free" and "suitable for vegan" labels. The main types are lactose-free products and lactose-reduced products. Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk products that can be difficult for some people to digest, and lactose-free food is a commercial product that is free of lactose. The applications of lactose free food are in milk, cheese, yogurt, ice-cream, non-dairy products, and others. The various distribution channels are supermarkets, hypermarkets, online stores, and others. The different sources of lactose-free food are rice, almond, soy, hemp milk, coconut, and various technologies used are chromatographic separation, acid hydrolysis, and membrane reactor. The lactose-free food research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides lactose-free food statistics, including lactose-free food industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with lactose-free food share, detailed lactose-free food segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the lactose-free food industry. This lactose-free food research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global lactose free food market grew from $10.8 billion in 2021 to $11.35 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The lactose free food market is expected to grow to $13.7 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 4.8%. An increasing number of people with lactose intolerance are expected to contribute to the higher demand for lactose-free food products. Lactose intolerance is a digestive syndrome caused by the inability to digest lactose, a carbohydrate found in dairy products. According to the National Library of Medicine, approximately 65% to 90% of adults are affected by lactose intolerance. Moreover, in Europe, 5% to 15% of the population is lactose intolerant. Therefore, an increasing number of people with lactose intolerance is anticipated to drive the demand for lactose-free food over the forecast period. The stiff competition from dairy alternatives is expected to limit the growth of the lactose-free food market. The availability of various dairy alternatives such as cheese, butter, ice-creams, milk made from soy, rice, almond, and other non-dairy ingredients is likely to take over the share of lactose-free food products. For instance, in 2020, global milk production reached nearly 906 million tonnes, up 2.1% from 2019. In addition to this, in 2020, international dairy trade increased by 1.2% to nearly 79 million tonnes (milk equivalent), principally due to increased imports by a few countries, namely China, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil . Therefore, competition from dairy products is expected to hinder the growth of the lactose-free food market during the period. The launch of new lactose-free products is a leading trend contributing to the market's expansion. In June 2019, Beckon Ice Cream, a Boston-based company, announced the introduction of lactose-free premium ice-creams made from real cream and milk. The company began distribution of its premium ice-cream through Whole Foods Market stores. Beckon Ice Cream aims to maintain the taste of traditional ice cream in its dairy-full and lactose-free ice creams. This scenario of new product developments is likely to surge the revenues for lactose-free food market over the forecast period. In January 2020, the Coca-Cola company announced the full acquisition of Fairlife, a USA-based dairy beverage company, for an undisclosed amount. The company announced the acquisition of the remaining 57.5% stake in the company. The acquisition is expected to expand the dairy and non-dairy product portfolio of the company. Fairlife was founded in 2012 and markets a broad portfolio of dairy-based beverages, including ultra-filtered milk and high-protein milkshakes. The company also markets lactose-free products in order to cater to a wide range of consumers. Major players in the market are Arla Foods, McNeil Nutritionals, OMIRA Oberland-Milchverwertung (OMIRA), Parmalat, Valio, Alpro, Amy's Kitchen, Barry Callebaut, Cargill, and Chr. Hansen.
