This organic 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 organic food market grew from $259.06 billion in 2022 to $294.54 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%. 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, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The organic food market is expected to grow from $512.01 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 14.8%. Increasing health concerns due to growing number of chemical poisoning cases globally is acting as a driver in the organic food market. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious owing to the harmful effects caused by the presence of chemical pesticides in food products. The toxicity of chemical pesticides in food products can cause cancer, hormone disruption, and birth defects. According to a UN report, around 200,000 people die every year due to the toxic effects of pesticides on food products. This is causing consumers to shift their focus towards organic food products. The low shelf life of organic food and beverages compared to conventional foods and beverage products is restraining the organic food market. For instance, in research conducted by MSNBC, it was reported that the shelf life of organic food products tends to be shorter than conventional produce. Similarly, some researchers found that many organic foods had higher levels of bacteria than conventional products that cause food to spoil. As organic food is not exposed to the same amount of preservatives as conventional food, it tends to be prone to bacteria attacks and has a shorter shelf life. For example, organic food products like turnip greens, mustard greens, and endive have a very short shelf life with a shrinkage percentage of 50%. Thus, high packaging, logistics, and distribution costs to increase shelf life are limiting the growth of the organic food market. Companies in the organic food market are focusing on the introduction of new product categories and varieties. Organic food manufacturers are coming up with new and innovative organic food products in the form of ready-to-eat snacks, cookies, organic tea, pulses, spices, edible flowers, frozen waffles, medical plants, herbs, and organic juices. For example, Lidl, an organic grocery chain, is coming up with 28 new and innovative organic food products to choose from.
