United States 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 micronutrients and antioxidants due to the absence of chemicals, hormones, and other substances.

United States Organic Food Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Launch of Wide Range of Organic Food Products

With growing potential and demand for organic food in the United States market, the companies are launching a wide range of products to cater to consumers’ nutritional needs and tastes and to exploit market opportunities. For instance, Nature Zen USA recently announced the launch of its high-quality organic plant-based protein in the US market. Another brand called Happy Family Organics announced a new pouch line ‘Happy Baby Savory Blends', servings of organic vegetables, especially for 6+ month babies. Thus, the availability of a wide range of products provides lucrative growth opportunities to the United States organic food market growth.

Increasing Health Awareness Among Consumers

The increasing health awareness among consumers is emerging as a major driving factor for the United States organic food market. In terms of nutrition, organic food contains no more nutrients than conventionally grown food. They do, however, contain fewer chemicals and are beneficial to human health. Furthermore, organic food is fresher since it is free of preservatives and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Moreover, organic foods can often reduce the symptoms of allergies caused by certain foods, chemicals, or preservatives. Such benefits appeal to health-conscious consumers, boosting its market growth.

Restraints

High Cost of Organic Food Products

Organic food products are more expensive than inorganic ones, limiting their penetration into the mainstream market. Food inflation results from large imports of organic foods into the United States. The yield of organic farming is comparatively low due to the elimination of chemical fertilizers, creating a gap between demand and supply of organic food. Furthermore, the shortage of shipping containers and labor forces influence the price of organic food, thereby acting as a major restraint for the growth of the U.S. organic food market.

United States Organic Food Market - By Product Type

Based on product types, the United States organic food market is segmented into dairy, bakery products, fruits & vegetables, snacks, meats/fish & poultry, sauce & condiments, processed food, packaged food, vegan meats, and others. As a result of the consumer demand for pasture-raised eggs, which are considered healthier and more nutritious, the meat/fish & poultry segment holds the largest market share. Moreover, major meat and poultry producers offer their customers natural, grass-fed, and hormone-free meats and poultry products, which drives the growth of the segment. Nevertheless, the demand for vegan meat is also gaining significant traction across the US with more and more people switching to a plant-based diet.
