Organic Wine Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Red Organic Wine, White Organic Wine), By Distribution Channel (On-trade, Off-trade), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global organic wine market size was estimated at USD 8.9 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% from 2022 to 2030. The market growth is driven by the shifting consumer behavior patterns for food and beverages across the world. The outbreak of Coronavirus disrupted the global organic wine supply chain and distribution channel owing to the closure and restrictions on bars, restaurants, and hotels globally. According to the 2020 ProWein Business Report, the COVID-19 affected around 77% of hotels, with turnover declining by 60% across the sector, while restaurants saw sales decline by 91% by the end of 2020.

However, in many regions, the wine market has extremely benefited from the lockdown and travel restrictions. Consumers enjoyed wine across a broader range of at-home occasions. For instance, according to Wine Intelligence, the wine market of Brazil gained approximately three million regular wine drinkers (which is at least once a month) between 2019 and 2020. Organic products demand is growing globally which has a significant impact on the wine market. Red organic wine and white organic wine are two major types in the market. Red organic wines witness high popularity among consumers owing to their health benefits and availability. Thus, the market penetration of red organic wines is higher than other types.

Organic wines have gained significant penetration globally. Their popularity is owed to its health benefits, along with fine taste. E-commerce or online retail have made it accessible to consumers across various parts of the world. The consumption of conventional wine seems to be tailing off around the world gradually. However, the enthusiasm for organic wines is widespread. European countries dominated the market particularly among the millennials (20 to 35 years), a generation that is extremely aware of environmental and social values.

In 2019, SOWINE, a France based marketing and communication company, conducted a survey in New York and Paris to understand the wine expectations of residents. The survey showed that around 52% of New York residents and 68% of Paris residents are more sensitive to the environmentally-friendly approach. The survey also showed that the consumers in the 21-35 age group buy “responsible” wine on a regular basis (22% in New York and 35% in Paris) than the older generation (15% in New York and 30% in Paris).

The production cost of organic wine is comparatively higher than conventional wines. Organic wines are produced from natural and organically grown grapes. The vineyards require organic certification and proper maintenance during the cultivation of wine grapes. In addition, the organic certified vineyards do not use any chemicals or agrochemicals to increase yield and production. Thus, it takes more time for the maturity and ripening of the grapes. Moreover, it requires natural yeasts for the fermentation which is costlier than the wild and regular yeasts. All these factors increase the production cost of organic wine which resulted in the high price of organic wines.

Type Insights

The red organic wine segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 61.4% in 2021. Red organic wines are made of red or black grapes that are fermented using yeast. The grapes are organically grown in organic certified vineyards. The majority of the vineyards are located in the European region. Countries such as Italy, France, and Germany have a majority of the organic vineyards in the world. Consumption of red wine is likely to lower cholesterol and prevent cancer in humans.

The white organic wine segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 9.7% over the forecast period. White wines are consumed less as compared to red organic wines. Chardonnay Champagne is one of the most popular white wines that is extensively consumed globally. Germany is the largest market for white organic wine in the world. White organic wines are inexpensive compared to red organic wines, but it is less healthy than red organic wines.

Packaging Insights

The bottles segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 91.7% in 2021. Glass bottles are the primary packaging format for organic wines. In addition, they are extensively used in the packaging of beverages. Glass is the third most widely used packaging material in the world. Glass is extensively used for wine packaging owing to its properties such as recyclable, reusable, and inert. Due to its inert nature, it can store wines for a long time compared to plastic bottles and cans.

The cans segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 14.2% over the forecast period. Cans are increasingly finding application in the beverage industry. Metallic cans such as aluminum and steel cans are extensively being used in carbonated drink packaging. Cans are more convenient and portable than bottles, which, in turn, is driving the growth of canned wines. Aluminum cans weigh less than glass bottles and therefore also lessen the carbon footprint of transporting from the vineyard to the distributors. This, in turn, has driven the demand for environment-friendly packaging for organic wines.

Distribution Channel Insights

The off-trade segment dominated the organic wine market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 60.6% in 2021. The off-trade distribution channel of organic wine includes wine merchants, supermarkets, hypermarkets, retail outlets, caterers, organic stores, and e-commerce platforms. Consumer inclination towards e-commerce is expected to drive segment growth. The lockdown across the nations further propelled the demand for off-trade sales of organic wines.

The on-trade segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 9.4% over the forecast period. The on-trade distribution channel includes outlets like bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, and winemaker’s stores. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the growth of the on-trade segment drastically, owing to the shutting down of these aforementioned outlets and international tourism came to a standstill caused due to strict lockdown and preventive measures across the globe.

Regional Insights

Europe dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 77.2% in 2021. Few European countries accounted for over 50.0% of the market share.

The consumers in the region are more aware of organic products and thus, consumption of organic products is high in Europe compared to other regions in the world.
