Global Organic Vegetables Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global organic vegetable market was valued at USD 35.89 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 38.76 billion in 2024 from USD 71.74 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2024 to 2032.

The largest, fastest-expanding segment in the food industry is organic vegetables. The growth rate of the organic vegetable market is attributed to growing concerns about food security and farming practices that contribute to a better and more sustainable environment. Organic farming, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, can generally be identified with farming. Living creatures are closely linked with each other in organic farming. The growing concern of people about pesticides, chemicals, antibiotics, or other chemical residues is a major factor in the shift towards the consumption of organically grown food products. Some elements that affect the demand for Organic Vegetables are the quality of products, food protection, and generally perceived value.

The organic vegetable market is growing rapidly, mainly due to growing concerns about food security and farming practices that contribute to a better and more sustainable environment. Organic vegetables are processed to increase shelf life and convenience of consumption. The increased demand for organic vegetables is primarily due to increased production and global consumption. However, the supply of organic vegetables is limited to their demand, due to their high production cost. Despite the greater price of organic plants, consumers are willing to pay extra for organic food because of the lower use of pesticides and high nutrient value. Hence, it should boost the sales of organic vegetables. Organic vegetables refer to vegetables that contain little or no chemical residue and are certified organic.

MARKET DRIVERS

The largest and most rapidly growing section of the organic food market share is organic vegetables. The increased demand for organic vegetables is primarily due to increased production and global consumption. Despite the greater price of organic plants, consumers are willing to pay extra for organic food because of the lower use of pesticides and high nutrient value. Increased consumer awareness of the health benefits of organic products is expected to drive sales in the organic vegetable market. The rapid urbanization of the organic vegetable market expansion has raised the acceptance of healthy dietary habits and the growing concern for health and the environment.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, the supply of organic vegetables is limited to their demand due to their high production cost. The production costs of organic vegetables are comparatively higher than those of conventional vegetables. Organic foods typically cost between 20% and 100% more than their conventionally produced counterparts. Organic food is difficult to grow due to the high share and the longer growing time. In addition, the lower yields of these crops and a poor supply chain further increase production costs. One of the main barriers to adopting organic farming is the high registration rate and getting accreditation and certification to become organic farmers. Due to the lower yield of organic production compared to conventional yields, there would be a higher demand for additional natural resources such as land and water to meet the growing demand for organic vegetables.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Organic Vegetables Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on market growth due to the growing awareness of healthy and nutritional diets. Hence, this has led to an increase in demand for Organic Vegetables across the world. However, import and export restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have hampered market growth. There is good annual growth mainly due to the resumption of their operations and the adaptation of companies to the new normal while recovering from the impact of COVID-19, which had previously led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and shutting down of business activities which resulted in operational challenges.
