Organic Milk Market Players Face Challenges of High Prices and Competition from Regular Milk Producers

Organic milk has become very popular over recent years. Many health-conscious individuals, as well as those with dietary restrictions such as allergies, are turning to organic foods and milk. According to the 2019 Organic Industry Survey by the Organic Trade Association, Organic food sales in the U.S. increased 5.9% in 2018 to reach US$ 47.9 billion, and organic food sales made up 5.7% of overall food sales, which rose 2.3% in 2018. Thus, the organic milk market in the U.S. is expected to witness significant growth. 

The demand for organic milk is growing due to general increases in the awareness of organic products and their better health benefits. Today, many people are turning to organic milk. As a result, prices are continually rising. Such a rise in prices may, however, limit the growth of the organic milk market.

Organic milk originates from animals that are fed organic and chemical-free feed. Organic milk comes from animals that have not been injected with hormones or antibiotics during their lifetime. Therefore, organic milk is safer for many people who are concerned about the health risks associated with regular milk. Such concerns aid in the growth of the organic milk market

Organic milk is generally recognized as more beneficial to the environment than regular milk. Organic milk also helps to protect the environment by reducing the use of antibiotics and hormones that often result in the growth of harmful bacteria. Organic milk is considered to be much healthier than regular milk and most people prefer organic milk over regular milk, due to these benefits. These benefits increase demand for organic milk, thereby aiding in the growth of the organic milk market\.

There are many benefits to organic milk, both for the consumer and the environment. Organic milk has been shown to: Reduce allergies associated with regular milk, help to prevent diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis, and reduce the incidence of certain types of cancer. Organic milk may also be beneficial to those with lactose intolerance because it can help the body to produce sufficient quantities of lactase to process the sugar in the milk. However, many people choose organic milk-based on taste, rather than benefits. Organic milk can be purchased in stores, at farmer's markets, or online from a variety of producers.

Currently, organic milk accounts for approximately 18% of the marketplace. Due to the high cost of organic milk, farmers and processors are trying hard to increase their market share. Many large milk companies are spending millions of dollars each year marketing their organic brand name in the organic milk market.
