Synthèse
Since 2020, the organic fruit and vegetables market has seen significant trends and developments. Globally, the market is dominated by the United States with over 39% share, while France holds third place. The organic farming market was valued at €124.8 billion in 2021, continuing its growth with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.83%. The surface area dedicated to organic production and the number of organic producers continued to increase, with contributions from regions like Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie.
Specialized stores remain significant market players, despite a tough year in 2022 with a decline in sales, such as Biocoop at -5.6% and Naturalia at -7.8%. Startups that promote a direct link between producers and consumers, like Potager City and Les Commis, are capitalizing on this trend, with Potager City reporting €17.5 million in sales in 2021. Regulations have also been updated, with the EU tightening rules for organic production with Regulation (EU) 2018/848 from 2022.
Shifting Tides in Organic Produce
Consumption Organic fruits and vegetables represent a significant segment of the global organic food market, and France stands out as one of the leading contributors in this domain. French producers and the acreage devoted to organic farming have seen consistent growth, highlighting the country's commitment to sustainable agricultural practices. Despite this promising scenario, the French organic fruit and vegetable market is undergoing a phase of deceleration, with the national market experiencing a contraction for the first time in over a decade. The United States continues to dominate the global market with over one-third of the world market share, while France, holding the third position, maintains a formidable presence behind Germany.
The French market notably reached a valuation of between 11.5 and 13 billion euros, a slight decline from the previous year. Organic fruits and vegetables account for roughly between 15 and 20 percent of this market, second only to groceries within the organic sector. In the realm of distribution, specialized stores lead in organic produce sales with a market share of over 40 percent. This is followed by general supermarkets at over 30 percent, then direct sales rounding up to approximately 25 percent. Notably, consumption habits have shown a dip, with the share of organic food in the French diet decreasing from over 6 percent to just under that mark.
In analyzing the nuances of consumer behavior, a significant portion (over 70 percent) of regular organic consumers frequently includes organic fruits and vegetables in their diets. Yet, the overall decrease in consumption has been significant, with the percentage of populace consuming organics monthly plummeting by over 15 points from the preceding year. This may be attributed to a perceived abnormality in price elevation for organic products—a sentiment shared by nearly 60 percent of consumers. The motivations driving organic consumption primarily center on health impacts and taste, while environmental considerations follow closely. However, price remains a substantial barrier, prompting nearly one-quarter of the surveyed group to project their organic consumption either stagnating or dwindling in the coming months.
Startups like Potager City and Les Commis, operating with thanks to new trends focused on bridging the gap between producers and end consumers, have enjoyed success by tending toward direct delivery services. This indicates a burgeoning potential for growth in this market segment, despite overall sluggish consumer interest. The landscape of organic fruit and vegetable players is diverse, with specialty stores undergoing a challenging period. Market leaders like Biocoop and Naturalia have recorded sales declines in recent years. In contrast, startups such as Les Commis.
Prominent Players in the Organic Fruit and Vegetable Market:
Bridging Producers and Consumers In the thriving landscape of the organic fruit and vegetable market in France, several key players make up the ecosystem, each contributing uniquely to the supply chain. Here is an overview of these market participants:
- Biocoop stands out as a significant presence with its cooperative network of independent stores. Known for its commitment to selling a wide variety of organic products sourced from local producers, Biocoop has grown a considerable footprint with 765 points of sale, making it a go-to destination for consumers seeking organic staples.
- Naturalia carves out its niche as a purveyor of organic, vegan, and natural products. With a network of about 245 stores across France, the brand emphasizes sustainable and ethical consumerism, appealing to a clientele conscious of their ecological footprint and the quality of their diet.
- Bio c' Bon brings organic living closer to urban consumers, with over 100 stores conveniently located in city centers. They focus on providing a range of organic goods, including fruits and vegetables, to those who may not have easy access to larger supermarkets or specialty stores.
- La Vie Claire is another major name in the market, boasting around 400 stores to date. By offering a wide array of organic goods from fresh produce to packaged products, La Vie Claire caters to the diverse needs of organic shoppers, imbuing a traditional retail experience with a modern, sustainable twist.
- Emerging dynamically in the sector are innovative startups like Les Commis and Potager City, reshaping how consumers access and enjoy organic produce. Les Commis taps into the cooking-as-an-experience trend by delivering recipe boxes with all organic ingredients, while Potager City simplifies sourcing fresh, local produce by offering curated fruit and vegetable baskets, which can be directly delivered to consumers' doorsteps.
These organizations contribute positively to France's organic food market, reinforcing the connection between conscientious consumers and dedicated producers. Their combined efforts also reflect a broader trend of growth in the sector driven by rising consumer interest in health, taste, and sustainability. With both established chains and nimble startups in play, the French organic fruit and vegetable market illustrates a blend of tradition and innovation, aiming to fulfill ever-evolving consumer expectations.

1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Organic" fruit and vegetables come fromorganic farming, which is a system of agricultural management and food production that combines the best environmental practices with a high level of biodiversity. It aims to preserve natural resources and applies high standards of animal welfare. In addition, this production method uses mainly natural substances and products, and prohibits the use of synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, artificial fertilizers or growth hormones. Organic fruit and vegetables are the largest and most dynamic segment of the global organic food market (which also includes beverages, cookies, meats and other condiments).the organic fruit and vegetable market includes producers, processors, wholesalers, retailers, cooperatives, specialty store franchises, independent stores and supermarkets.
The global market is dominated by the United States, which has over 39% of the world market share[FiBL], but France is not to be outdone, as the national market ranks in 3ᵉ position, just behind Germany.
The French market is extremely dynamic, with the number of its producers and acreage devoted to organic farming steadily increasing. However, new consumers, whose purchasing power continues to decline, are becoming increasingly rare, and the context is extremely difficult for specialist stores, which sell only organic products. Indeed, after more than a decade of proliferation of this type of store, 2022 was the first year to see a reduction in their numbers nationwide.
One of the market trends is the emphasis on the absence of intermediaries. Consumers want direct access to products, and some startups are enjoying great success by offering a direct link between producers and end consumers. Home-delivered organic baskets thus appear to represent a strong growth potential for the market.
