The Organic Market at a Glance
In 2024, the sales revenue of organic food and drink in the UK reached a staggering £3.7 billion.
And that’s just the beginning! The organic market has been on a steady growth trajectory for 13 consecutive years, and a 7.3% increase on 2023.
But what’s driving this continued growth? According to the Statista Global Consumer Survey conducted in 2023, over one third of British consumers are ready to embrace more sustainable and eco-friendly products if they were more easily accessible. This shift in consumer behaviour has paved the way for a significant 25.4% growth in the organic food and drink market in just three years.
With over 70% of consumers expressing a desire to lead healthier lifestyles and more than 50% prioritizing healthy eating, there has never been a better time to capitalize on this growing trend. The UK’s emphasis on health and wellness, coupled with a heightened awareness of lifestyle-related ailments, has created a demand for organic and healthier food choices like never before.
