Organic and wellness: key figures and outlook for 2026

Worldwide: toward a "better-for-you" standard

The global organic market is estimated at USD 134 billion in 2023, with an average annual growth rate of +11.6% projected through 2032.

The main markets by revenue are the United States (~USD 50 billion), Germany (~USD 13 billion), France (~USD 11 billion), China (~USD 11 billion), and the United Kingdom (~USD 3 billion).

Clean label and additive-free expectations are becoming a global standard, especially across Europe and North America, reflecting a broader shift toward transparency and healthier formulations.

In France: a strong market undergoing qualitative transformation

The organic market in France reached €12 billion in 2023 across all distribution channels. Currently, 12.77% of French farms are certified organic, while 30% of organic products consumed in France are imported.

Despite economic pressures, certain high-potential categories continue to perform strongly, such as:


These figures confirm that the French organic market is shifting from volume growth to value-driven growth, emphasizing quality, provenance, and consumer trust.

Key trends to watch in 2025-2026

1. Naturalness and clean label

Short ingredient lists and the absence of additives have become non-negotiable purchasing criteria.

Globally, 66% of consumers express interest in organic products, 74% say they have changed their habits to eat more healthily, and 65% are willing to pay more for healthier options.

2. The rise of “free-from” and alternative products

The boom in “free-from” and alternative products reflects a deep transformation of the food market.

Consumers are looking for simpler, healthier, and more inclusive recipes — gluten-free, lactose-free, GMO-free, and also rich in plants, fiber, or superfoods.

This quest for balance and transparency is pushing brands to expand their portfolios with formulas adapted to all nutritional profiles, from flexitarian to vegan.

3. Local organic and traceability

Origin has become a true marker of trust. Consumers increasingly associate organic with transparency and proximity: they want to know where products come from and how they are made. This expectation strengthens the value of local and regional production and encourages both brands and retailers to reinforce their CSR commitments to traceability, ethics, and responsible sourcing.

4. Purposeful premiumization

The organic sector is evolving toward a new form of value creation, delivering more than just a health benefit. Brands now combine naturalness and performance, integrating functional benefits (alternative proteins, fermentation, positive nutrition) into formats suited to new lifestyles, such as healthy snacking or ready-to-drink non-alcoholic beverages.

Examples of recognized innovations: Iced moringa/mint/apple infusion and yeast-based fermented protein.

5. Price sensitivity vs. perceived value

In a constrained economic context, organic products stand out when they prove their worth. Consumers remain willing to pay a premium when a product demonstrates tangible benefits (in health, taste, environmental impact, or local origin) and when its perceived quality matches its price.
