The U.S.
organic food market size is expected to reach USD 70.4 billion by 2025 as a
result of increasing demand from consumers. Consumers in U.S. seek convenient
purchasing options and organic food, which is now easily available, is gaining
popularity. These food products are available in more than 20,000 natural food
stores and conventional grocery stores across the country.
Over the past decade, organic food has witnessed significant
growth. Sold initially only around farms, today it is available at local
grocery stores, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. For instance, Walmart sells
organic produce from local farms in their grocery section. Thus, increasing
preference for local produce among consumers is also expected to drive the
organic food industry over the forecast period.
Furthermore, people are now increasingly aware of the use of
chemicals and pesticides in the food industry. Various widely-used pesticides
can cause chronic diseases such as cancer and birth defects. For instance,
scientists found that glyphosate, a widely-used herbicide in agriculture, can
lead to various diseases such as reproductive problems, cancer, and damaged
DNA. Today glyphosate is increasingly being used in about 94% soya crops and
more than 89% corn cultivated in U.S. As organic products are free of Genetically
Modified Organisms (GMOs) and toxic chemicals, they are perceived safe for
consumption. Thus, rising health concerns owing to use of synthetic pesticides
and herbicides is expected to drive the organic food market over the forecast
period.
Increasing environmental concerns among consumers are
expected to drive demand for natural food produce in U.S. Organic farming
benefits the environment; these practices help maintain soil pH levels and
prevent growth of super-pest strains. Organic farming helps maintain
biodiversity as it supports pollinators and is free of herbicides and
pesticides. People are increasingly concerned about what they eat, the origin
of that produce, and the possible effect of consuming them. Hence, rising
number of consumers seeking clean label products is expected to drive the U.S.
organic food market over the forecast period.
The government has also developed special logos for
customers to easily differentiate between organic and conventional foods. These
certifications are expected to increase the sale of organic foods. Moreover,
sustainability practices such as zero waste and water preservation are gaining
popularity among major producers. For instance, in April 2016, Natures Path
earned two zero waste certifications for two of its manufacturing facilities.
Zero waste helps reduce plastic pollution, landfill, and burying waste, thus,
reducing environmental impact. Manufacturers are focusing on reducing their
carbon footprint by adopting renewable energy sources. All these factors are
anticipated to attract consumers and drive the U.S. organic food market over
the forecast period.
