Organic Milk Market, By Product Type (100% Organic Milk, Low Fat Organic Milk, Fat Free Organic Milk, and Others), By Distribution Channel (Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Stores, and Others) - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028
The cost of organic milk is higher than conventional milk, which is a major challenge for growth of the market. Furthermore, governments across various regions have imposed strict regulations on organic milk products. For instance, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) established guidelines for organic certification. Under USDA organic regulation (7 CFR 205), farms need to follow standards such as Land Requirement (205.202), origin of livestock (205.236), Livestock Feed (205.237), and Livestock Healthcare Practices (205.238) in order to be eligible for organic certification. Such strict regulations forces manufacturers to maintain their product quality and thus, is expected to be a major restraining factor for the market growth.
