Summary

The North American market for organic food and drink is grappling with undersupply. Consumer demand for organic products is outpacing supply with most categories experiencing product shortages.

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 like Heinz and Unilever are showing a large rise in market share. 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 are going as far as opening dedicating retailers for organic products.
