Germany is the largest European market with 30% of the total European market in 2005 and is the second in the world behind the U.S., for organic products. Organic products accounted for a turnover of 4 billion euros or 2.9% of food consumption in 2005, which is an increase of 1.7 points compared to 1997. In 2006, they represented a turnover of 4.5 billion euros. In 2006, 90% (88% in 2005) of German consumers bought an "organic" product.
Over half of these households tried to buy, and one-tenth bought these products more regularly. Only 2% of consumers said that they buy only organic foods. The official label of "Biosiegel" is increasingly used. This unique label, created by the Ministry of Agriculture, was given an image common to the products, and indicated better quality. This logo was created by a program of the Department of Agriculture from 2001. This program aims to develop production and marketing of products from organic farming.
Results of a GfK survey on the consumption of "organic" food taken from the results of the consumer panel for all of 2006: the market growth was beyond expectations and with a bright future, especially this offer is the limitng factor for the development.
In 2006, nintey percent of German consumers bought at least once an ‘organic' product. In addition, the number of purchased products(13 acts of purchases for the first 9 months of 2006 / 11 over the same period in 2005) and induced spending for each of these buyers (17%for the same period in 2005 and 2006 ) rose significantly.
This market now represents 2.7% of the total food market. And this is in large part to the expansion of supply, both by the number of stores affected by the range presented by each of them, and this, in almost all product categories among the 29 followed by GfK.
More than half of households bought "to try"; the proportion of bio purchases in their spending is still low. A third of the families consisting of 'health conscious' members already buy more regularly. Some families constitute the "hard core" of those buying organic products exclusively. These three groups have two things in common: increase spending and increase the use of discount, however, note that this progression varies widely from one group to another, the core of 100% organic remains very faithful to the specialty shops and common yet with very little discount.
In the segment of fresh organic produce, it is the fruit that experienced the largest development of consumption (+56% between the first half of 2005 and 2006, including bananas), followed by, the bread, cheese, meat and lean meat, poultry, eggs and potatoes.
The organic vegetables, with 8% of the total consumption of vegetables, are the largest segment and also the fruit and organic vegetables accounts for nearly half (46%) of the market value of the "organic fresh ". As the proportion of exotic fruit is large, this increase only affects the local production market only partially .
France remains one of the main suppliers of Germany (10% market share), but it has stalled, due to the increasing competition from Italy, Spain and even from some new EU members.
