The popularity of organic foods is undeniable. According to a 2021 survey from the Organic Trade Association, total sales of organic foods topped more than $60 billion in 2020
Data from Mercaris, which provides market insight and analysis on organics and non-GMO foods, supports that finding and indicates that organic food sales grew by 9 percent between 2009 and 2019. During that same time period, conventional food sales grew only 3 percent, which illustrates just how popular organics have become over the last decade and a half. And despite being a year marked by a pandemic and the considerable economic uncertainty it unleashed, 2020 proved to be an especially good year for organics. Mercaris reports that organic food sales increased by 13 percent in 2020, which serves as another indicator that consumers are increasingly demanding organics over conventional foods.
