UAE Organic Food Market

UAE Organic Food Market – Overview

Organic food is the type of food produced with the standards and methods of organic farming, which eliminates the use of chemical fertilizers, hormones, and pollutants. Organic food is largely driven by animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops. Several studies have revealed that organic food may have more nutrients in quantity compared to non-organic foods and thus it is beneficial for health. Additionally, organic foods contain higher levels of micro-nutrients and antioxidants due to the absence of chemicals, hormones, and other substances.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Health Awareness among Consumers

The growing health focus among consumers is rising as a main driving factor for the UAE organic food market. In terms of nutrients, organic food contains no more vitamins than conventionally grown meals. They do, however, incorporate fewer chemicals and are beneficial to human fitness. Furthermore, organic food is more energizing because it's free from preservatives and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Moreover, organic meals can frequently lessen the signs of allergies due to certain foods, chemicals, or preservatives. Such advantages appeal to health-aware clients, boosting its marketplace increase.

Restraint

High Cost of Organic Food Products

The price of organic food is one of the major constraints for the growth of the market since the UAE is a highly price-sensitive market. Organic food is costlier than regular food products. This is because the elimination of chemical fertilizers decreases production output severalfold. Along with this, the price of organic food also carries other factors such as environmental enhancement and protection costs. This limits the adoption of organic food among high and upper-middle-income groups, negatively impacting the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on UAE Organic Food Market

The pandemic heightened consumer awareness of health and wellness. As a result, there has been a growing interest in organic foods perceived to be healthier and potentially boost immunity. Lockdown, travel restrictions, and disruptions in global supply chains affected the availability of certain organic products. This led to challenges in sourcing and distribution of organic food, impacting the range of products available in the market. Changes in consumer behavior, including a preference for online shopping and home cooking, influenced the demand for organic foods. Online platforms and delivery services gained prominence as consumers seek contactless shopping options.
