The rapid growth of Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is headquartered in Arizona, and though a full-service supermarket, it places an emphasis on organic foods. In 2017, it was one of the fastest growing retailers in the country, with sales up 15 percent over the previous year. The chain’s net sales totaled over 5.2 billion U.S. dollars in 2018.
The organic trend
The fact that California had the most stores of an organic-focused retailer should come as no surprise as the state is also home to the greatest number of certified organic farms in the country, by a wide margin. Sprouts Farmers Market’s emphasis on organic foods has been a wise decision for the company as organic foods sales in the United States continue to grow every year, reaching 45.2 billion U.S. dollars in 2017. Organic’s share of total food sales has steadily risen over the past decade as well, nearly doubling in that time. This trend is likely to continue, as each younger generation places more emphasis on buying organic.
