The Organic Trade Association (OTA) documented sales of certified organic products at $76.6 billion in 2025 representing an annual growth rate of seven percent. The March 4th, 2026, market report specified a $70.1 billion value for organic food sales conforming to a seven percent increase compared with 2.3 percent for the overall food market. The OTA forecasts an annual growth rate for organic sales (value) of six percent, increasing by $24 billion over the next five years to attain $100 billion in 2030.
The report notes that organic egg sales rose 22 percent in value during 2025. This increase is consistent with the unprecedent rise in price of all shell eggs during the year and especially during the first quarter. Purchases of organic eggs increased 3.0 percent in 2025 based on the 0.6 million annual increase in the number of organic hens from 20.3 million.
As a matter of record organic hens in all housing systems increased from 19.4 million in 2019 to the current level of 21.0 million, an 8.2 percent increase over seven years. This compares with the 100.5 percent increase in non-organic, cage-free hens from 60.3 million to 125.7 million over the same period.
