Industry Stats
Organic Food is the Fastest Growing Segment of Food Sales in North America!
* And there’s only one event dedicated exclusively to organic products: All Things Organic™, North America’s only all-organic conference and trade show. The exclusive focus on organic products at All Things Organic™ provides a unique opportunity to meet directly with providers and buyers of organic products.
Organic Market Facts
U.S. sales of organic food and nonfood products during 2003 totaled approximately $10.8 billion, according to the Organic Trade Association’s 2004 Manufacturer Survey released in May 2004. According to survey results, sales of organic foods were approximately $10.38 billion in 2003, up 20.4 percent from the previous year. Meanwhile, “non-food” organic products, such as personal care products, nutritional supplements, organic fiber, household cleaners, flowers and pet food, grew by 19.8 percent, to reach $440 million in sales.
* U.S. organic food sales have grown between 17 and 21 percent each year since 1997, to nearly triple in sales, while total U.S. food sales over this time period grew in the range of only 2 to 4 percent a year. According to findings from the Organic Trade Association’s 2004 Manufacturer Survey, organic food sales now represent approximately 2 percent of U.S. food sales.
* U.S. sales of organic products are estimated to have reached $15 billion during 2005, according to Organic Trade Association projections
* Retail sales of U.S. organic products are expected to top $21 billion by 2007, based on growth projections from the Organic Trade Association’s 2004 Manufacturer Survey.
* Sixty-six percent of U.S. consumers report they use organic products at least occasionally, according to The Hartman Group’s report, Organic Food & Beverage Trends 2004: Lifestyles, Language and Category Adoption released in August 2004. More than 40 percent of those consumers (or 27 percent of the total population) report using organic products regularly.
* A survey conducted in August 2005 for Whole Foods Market found 65 percent of Americans saying they had tried organic foods and beverages, up from 54 percent in similar surveys conducted in 2003 and 2004. Of those polled, 27 percent reported consuming more organic foods and beverages now than a year ago, and ten percent consume organic foods several times per week, up from seven percent a year ago. According to the 2005 Whole Foods Market Organic Foods Trend Tracker survey, the top reasons for buying organic foods and beverages were: to avoid pesticides (70.3 percent), freshness (68.3 percent) and health and nutrition (67.1 percent). More than half (55 percent) said they buy organic to avoid genetically modified foods. More than half of all respondents agreed that organic foods are better for their personal health and better for the environment
Organic In The Headlines
* In five years, organic products will be everywhere," said investment analyst Scott Van Winkle of Adams, Harkness and Hill. (Reuters, October 5, 2003)
* "No longer just for tree-huggers, organically grown cotton is slowly growing into a viable part of the active apparel industry." ( Women's Wear Daily, August 28, 2003)
* "With heightened awareness of consumers of what they’re buying, and a national debate over obesity turning greater attention toward the content of food products, it looks like the strong performance by organic products in the marketplace will continue to get stronger." ( Dairyfield, September 2003)
* "As more people learn the differences between organic and conventionally grown foods, they are choosing organic foods as an alternative."( Better Nutrition, September 2003)
* "Today, thanks to the hoopla about the health benefits of organic food, even the most staid people are adding it to their daily menus."( CNN Money, September 2003)
Organic Trade Association: Your Link to the Organic Marketplace
All Things Organic™ is proudly presented by the Organic Trade Association.
What began in 1985 as the Organic Foods Production Association of North America (OFPANA) with a group of determined individuals seeking a way to build a trusted identity for organic products has become the nearly 1,700 - member Organic Trade Association (OTA).
OTA is the North American organic business community’s voice to lawmakers and the public. OTA continues to work closely with other organizations to spread the word about the importance of organic production methods in the overall health of the environment and the economy, and to safeguard the integrity of what organic stands for through industry guidelines and standards. OTA champions a variety of efforts to promote organic products and agriculture through consumer awareness, national public relations and media campaigns. In addition, OTA advocates for organic businesses in legislative and regulatory arenas to protect the integrity of organic standards.
