The rise in health consciousness among customers and the inclination towards organic foods can drive the market growth significantly. Consumption of plant-based foods and non-GMO foods by customers is also likely to influence the direction of the market going forward.

However, consumer misconceptions about the taste of green food and its cost can limit the market growth.

Green Food Market Report Coverage

Market Dynamics

The demand for plant-forward foods and the rise of veganism can drive the demand in the green food market. The need for vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts for better health among customers can lead to organic food chains storing them in their shelves. Endorsements by nutritionists and the production of plant-based meat alternatives to reduce the number of cardiovascular diseases caused by meat can spur product innovation in the market.

The green food market is shaped by acquisitions or divestitures of selective assets within their portfolio by key players. The focus on the lack of artificial preservatives and approved organic flavors and tastes to appeal to urban consumers is expected to direct this trend. This can be exemplified by the launch of DAAWAT Thai Green Curry Rice kit by LT Foods Ltd., an India-based FMCG company, on August 19, 2025. On the other hand, reputed brands like Atlantic Natural Foods, LLC, have divested their popular brands, TUNO, neat, and Loma Linda, and sold them to Century Pacific Food Inc. on August 19, 2025.

Market Opportunity: Meal-based Organic Food Kits

The emergence of meal-based organic food kits remains a significant opportunity for the green food market, as it encompasses healthy eating and sustainability. The kits feature tested recipes and pre-portioned ingredients to prevent wastage of food and ensure appropriate nutritional value. The clean labeling on the packaging and its appeal to urban consumers trying to find a work-life balance can open up new revenue streams for key players in the market.

Market Challenge: Cybersecurity Risks to Hurt Bottomline Margins

The cybersecurity risks, such as phishing and ransomware, can disrupt the supply chain of major organic food chains. This can affect sales and hit the profit margins of stores. This can be illustrated by the recent cybersecurity hit on United Natural Foods Inc. on June 05, 2025. But the adoption of a resilient cybersecurity measure and insurance policy can prevent any financial risks to their chains. However, the unaffordability of cybersecurity measures by organic food startups and mid-sized chains can prove to be a challenge to the market growth.

Analyst’s View

• The rise of plant diets and meat alternatives can drive the demand for the green food market.
• The foodservice segment is expected to have a significant market share in 2025, owing to the demand for organic and sustainable foods in restaurants and quick-service chains.
