“ The U.S. organic food market size is expected to reach USD 70.4 billion by
2025.”
14 January 2019
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.
