Market Dynamics

Drivers

The increasing number of health and environmentally conscious consumers – Mostly, the rising demand for organic spices owes to how consumers choose, think and live today. The rise of health awareness everywhere is a major influence on companies. More people are starting to realize the dangers of synthetic pesticides, chemicals found in products and ingredients altered through genetic means in conventional spice farming. Because of this, people choose to buy organic spices as they believe they are safer, cleaner and more suitable for their health. A lot of people have the opinion that organic spices taste, smell and have a better quality than the non-organic variety which positively influences the demand for organic spices. Strong demand for products free of additives supports the growth of the organic spices market. Modern shoppers prefer foods that are made with simple ingredients and as few artificial chemicals as possible. Additionally, changes such as having more money to spend and living in cities are important factors. As their income levels increase, more people are choosing to buy premium and organic spices. Living in cities and experiencing different global trends also influence us to attempt and use organic spices more. The fact that organic farming is better for the environment also influences the modern environment-conscious consumer to demand organic spices.

Restraints

Higher price point of organic spices A main difficulty is that organic spices are often more expensive that conventionally grown spices. Because organic farming is more laborious, costs more to certify and is produced in less quantities. Many people do not realize or understand the positive aspects of using organic spices. Despite more people focusing on health and the environment, many are not sure exactly why a product is called organic or how to trust the claim. As a result, people might not replace traditional spices with better and safer options, even if they are keen to. The way people perceive the period a product can be used and how it tastes is significant as well. Lacking preservatives, some types of organic spice may look somewhat different from each other or be of shorter shelf life, a trait some people consider a downside. This situation may influence what consumers choose to buy, especially when convenient and uniform products are important to them. Finally, demand for organic spices decreases whenever consumers are influenced by choices from synthetic and conventional spices. Most customers and producers still pick conventional and easy-to-find spices or artificial flavours, because getting them is easier than getting organic ones. Overall, price, lack of awareness, low quality image and competition from conventionally grown spices impede the popularity and demand of organic spices.

Opportunities

Favourable environmental market landscape – Environmental sustainability is a major concern for people all over the world. As organic farming is better for the environment, it is attractive both to shoppers and companies that want to produce food in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. The rise in organic foods such as packaged products, beverages and ready-meals increases demand for organic ingredients (including spices). The market is often guided by the rules and principles of food safety. Strong rules issued by governments in North America and Europe set limits on the amount of pesticides and chemical contaminants found in foods. Complying with the rules drives manufacturers and sellers to provide organic spices, ensuring both safety and quality for their customers. Organic spices are now available to people all over the world given the rise in number of offline stores and the expansion of e-commerce or online retail. Overall, environmental issues, increasing growth in the industry, regulations and better ways to distribute products make it easier and better to demand organic spices everywhere.
