Global Organic Food Market Worth $684 Billion by 2031: Analysis of Regional Trends, Emerging Revenue Opportunities and the Competitive Landscape

Dublin, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Organic Food Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2021-2031” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Global Organic Food Market is projected to experience substantial growth, expanding from USD 312.44 Billion in 2025 to USD 683.99 Billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 13.95%. Rising consumer awareness regarding health and nutritional benefits serves as a major catalyst for the market, leading shoppers to prioritize items free from synthetic pesticides and artificial additives.

This health-focused trend is driving broad adoption across demographics, with consumers actively seeking clean-label products that meet their safety and wellness standards. The demand for nutrient-dense, chemical-free options has resulted in significant financial growth; for instance, the Organic Trade Association’s “2025 Organic Market Report” states that U.S. sales of certified organic products rose by 5.2% to a record $71.6 billion in 2024, outpacing the general food market’s growth.

Simultaneously, the expansion of distribution channels into mainstream retail and e-commerce has greatly increased accessibility, moving organic products beyond specialized health stores. Retailers are responding by allocating more shelf space to organic goods and upgrading digital platforms to enhance convenience for regular buyers. This strategic broadening of availability is reflected in specific segments; the Soil Association’s “Organic Market Report 2025” notes that organic food and drink sales in UK independent retailers grew by 9% in 2024. To support this commercial expansion, the global agricultural base is scaling up, with IFOAM – Organics International reporting that organic farming land reached nearly 99 million hectares by the end of 2023.

Market Challenges

The primary obstacle hindering the broader expansion of the Global Organic Food Market is the significant price premium commanded by organic products relative to conventional alternatives. This cost disparity arises from labor-intensive farming methods, strict certification requirements, and typically lower crop yields, all of which necessitate higher retail pricing to ensure profitability for producers. Consequently, these elevated costs create a substantial barrier for price-sensitive consumers, limiting the customer base largely to affluent demographics and restricting market penetration in developing regions where disposable income is constrained.

Economic volatility further aggravates this challenge, as inflationary pressures often force budget-conscious shoppers to prioritize affordability over environmental or health attributes, leading them back to conventional goods. The impact of this pricing dynamic is evident in recent market performance; the Organic Trade Association reported in 2024 that the U.S. organic sector achieved $69.7 billion in sales the previous year, with growth driven primarily by increased retail pricing rather than a significant rise in sales volume. This reliance on price valuation rather than volume expansion highlights how high costs directly impede mass-market adoption.

Market Trends

The adoption of Regenerative Organic Agriculture Practices is fundamentally transforming supply chains by shifting focus from merely avoiding synthetic chemicals to actively improving soil health and sequestering carbon. This trend exceeds traditional organic certification standards, addressing the climate crisis by promoting farming systems that restore local ecosystems and biodiversity. Commercial acceptance is accelerating as brands source ingredients from regenerative farms to meet the demands of environmentally conscious consumers; the Regenerative Organic Alliance’s “2024 Annual Report” reveals that revenue for Regenerative Organic Certified products surged by 37% in 2024, highlighting the rapid market uptake of this advanced standard.

Concurrently, the proliferation of Private Label Organic Brands is breaking down price barriers that have historically limited the mass-market adoption of organic goods. Major retailers are aggressively expanding their proprietary organic portfolios to offer cost-effective alternatives to premium national brands, effectively attracting price-sensitive shoppers who seek value without compromising quality. This strategic shift allows supermarkets to control margins while offering competitive pricing, thereby deepening market penetration; according to the Private Label Manufacturers Association’s “2025 Private Label Report,” annual sales of U.S. store brands hit a record $271 billion in 2024, driven significantly by the growth of premium and organic tiers.
