Overview
- The organic share of total food sales is projected to reach just under 7% by year-end, according to a DHBW study.
- Discounters hold a slightly larger market share than supermarkets as major chains broaden organic assortments.
- Private-label organic lines accounted for about 47% of sales in the first half of 2025.
- Drugstores have recorded the strongest percentage growth in organic turnover since 2021, while specialty organic shops capture roughly one in ten euros.
- Only about 11% of farmland is organic, and experts say production cannot keep pace with demand, despite a federal target of 30% by 2030.
