Competitive Stakes
Rise as Conventional Companies Muscle In
North
America has an important market for organic food and drink. Its
consumers are the highest spenders on organic foods in the world whilst
its organic food companies are developing a global presence.
Organic product sales have been increasing at rapid rate for a number of years. The US market has reported accelerated
growth since the USDA implemented the National Organic Program (NOP) in
2002. The Canadian market is expected to get a similar boost when
national organic regulations are introduced. Consumer demand for organic
foods is strengthening as consumers turn to healthy & nutritious foods.
Some of the largest organic food companies in
the world are based in North America. Many, like Hain Celestial and Whole Foods Market, are
expanding internationally. However, conventional food
companies are showing the largest rise in market share in internal
markets. Companies like
Unilever and Kraft Foods are making inroads by adding organic products to
their established product ranges. The 'Wal-Mart effect' is predicted to strengthen the
market position of such companies. Natural food retailers are also feeling the heat as
retail competition steps up in the organic food market. Conventional grocery retailers
are expanding their organic food ranges by developing private labels,
whilst some have gone as far as opening dedicating retailers for
organic products.
