Organic Food & Drink
The UK organic food and drinks market is currently worth £1.9bn and growing.
The UK has the third largest market for organic food and drink in Europe. Total sales of organic products were worth £1.9bn in 2007, an increase of almost 20% on 2006. In comparison, the global market was estimated at £20bn.
Although the sale of organic vegetables started as a specialist niche many of us have now got the message. The result has been that growth of organics has beaten many other sectors of the food and drink market in recent years. Not only has demand grown rapidly, but developments have spread beyond commodity vegetables into many sectors of prepared food and drink.
However, this growth has come at a time of economic growth and low inflation. Faced with an economic downturn, lack of availability in some areas and consumer resistance to high premiums, what does the future hold for the UK organic food and drink market?
