Organic retail sales in 2024 came to approximately 49.5 billion euros in the European Union and 58.7 billion in Europe. In both cases an increase could generally be observed over the entire period. An annual increase was seen between 2004 and 2024 for both regions with a steep acceleration of growth, beginning around 2014. Retail sales of organic food in Germany amounted to approximately 16 billion euros in 2023. The second biggest market measured in retail sales was France.

Per capita consumption

Per capita spending on organic food in the EU-27 reached 104.3 euros per person. The highest spending on organic food could be observed in the Alps and in the North of the continent. In Switzerland and Denmark, per capita spending reached 468 and 362 euros in 2023, respectively.

Sales in Germany and the UK

The German market has seen a continuous upward trend in sales since the year 2000 barring only the years 2009 and 2022. The first dip was likely caused by the financial crisis. In contrast, UK sales suffered immensely after 2008 and the following years. The loss in sales was so heavy that the market needed until 2017 to generate more sales than were generated in 2007.
