The latest report from the Soil Association shows that organic sales rose by 4.2% to just under a record £4 billion in 2025.
Although organic products are in high demand the report points out that domestic production cannot keep pace, leaving the market heavily reliant on imports.
Some 83% of households now buy organic, with purchase frequency among the average shopper rising to once every three weeks. Growth is strongest in products largely produced in the UK, notably organic milk, eggs and carrots, with organic dairy and produce remaining the largest market sectors.
Supermarkets led the rise in organic sales last year, with a 7% growth.
A majority of 85% of organic farmers surveyed for the report stated they have stable or growing sales, with fewer than 10% seeing a decline, suggesting robust on-farm demand. However, government figures for 2024 show that only 3% of UK farmland is organic.
