The organic movement is one of the biggest trends in the last few decades and is here to stay. Worldwide,
have increased more than 100 billion U.S. dollars since 2000 and
accounted for the largest share of organic purchases. Organic regulations can vary between products, but in general, require no chemicals or other restricted substances to aid in the cultivation or production of the products. Although there is an ongoing debate about the benefits of consuming and using organic products versus conventionally produced products, organic food is a fixture in grocery stores across all fifty states and one can find numerous organic cosmetic and personal care brands in stores and online.
Organic food purchasing
Some of the most common claims associated with organic foods in the United States are that they are free of preservatives, hormones, additives, and genetically modified organisms. Around 30 percent of U.S. consumers reported
buying organic compared to conventionally produced products as of 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2023, a little over a quarter of consumers reported
never purchasing organic food. The
consumption value of organic packaged food in the United States is expected to grow from 21.3 billion U.S. dollars in 2021 to over 25 billion dollars by 2025.
Organic cosmetics and personal care
Americans tend to feel the same way about organic cosmetics and personal care items as they do about organic foods. The
organic cosmetics market is expected to reach over 1.6 billion U.S. dollars by 2025 and
organic face cream was expected to quadruple in value from 2012 to 2022. 35 percent of consumers are looking for products that are
free from harmful chemicals, but only 20 percent find it important if the products are organic, meaning the organic label might not be the most important aspect for consumers when it comes to cosmetics and personal care.
