Market Overview

The global Organic Food & Beverages Market size was valued at USD 248.84 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 585.0 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 13.0% from 2024-2030. The Organic Food & Beverages market is defined by products grown and processed adhering to the principles of organic farming. These principles exclude the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and emphasize the maintenance of ecological balance, biodiversity, and soil health.

The market includes a wide range of consumables like fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, meat, and beverages such as juices, teas, coffees, and alcoholic drinks. All these products are produced under stringent regulations that ensure they are free from harmful chemicals and genetically modified ingredients. The certification process for these products is rigorous, involving regular inspections to ensure compliance with established organic standards. This market caters to consumers seeking health-conscious and environmentally sustainable food and beverage options. 

Market Dynamics and Trends

The increasing number of chemical poisoning cases in different parts of the world has contributed to the growing demand for the organic food. Consumers are becoming more aware of the potential risks associated with conventional farming practices that involve the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. The perception that organic food and beverages is produced without these harmful chemicals has led to a shift in consumer preferences towards organic products. For instance, in May 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a report stating that approximately 600 million individuals, which accounts for nearly one in ten people globally, experience illness as a result of consuming contaminated food.

Moreover, the support and implementation of regulations and certifications by government bodies and organizations have played a significant role in driving the organic food and beverage market. These regulations ensure the authenticity and quality of organic products, instilling consumer confidence and promoting market growth.

Additionally, the rise in chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer, has heightened consumers' awareness of the importance of maintaining good health. Many individuals are proactively seeking ways to improve their well-being and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Organic food and beverages are perceived as healthier options due to their lack of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and genetically modified ingredients. They are often seen as a way to support overall health and well-being.

However, the high production cost that raises the final retail price and the short shelf life of organic food and beverage products are some of the major factors restraining the growth of the organic food and beverages market. On the contrary, the increasing use of organic fruits and vegetables as a natural ingredient in the personal skincare and beauty care industry along with the rising demand for ready-to-use products is expected to create ample number of opportunities for the market in the future.
