U.S. organic dairy market - statistics & facts
Ever since the organic food movement took off, organic dairy has experienced widespread demand worldwide. Conventional factory farming methods involve giving dairy cows feed that is not part of their natural diet, keeping the livestock in cramped and squalid conditions, and treating them with growth hormones. The answer to this has been organic dairy farms, which typically allow their cows to graze, do not use growth hormones or antibiotics on their livestock, and commit to treating the animals humanely. The global market value of the organic dairy products was about 24 billion U.S. dollars in 2022 and is projected to grow to 36 billion dollars by 2030. The organic food market in the U.S. has been steadily increasing for the past 15 years and had almost 62 billion U.S. dollars in sales in 2022.
