WASHINGTON and NEW YORK and LONDON, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2014, retail sales of natural and organic food and beverages reached $53.5 billion, 53% higher than 2009. With such high demand for natural and organic products, many retailers have entered the market and have become strong competitors with Whole Foods.

MarketResearch.com published a blog covering the shifting retail market for natural and organic food and beverages: http://hubs.ly/H01ppjB0

According to a report by Packaged Facts, "Every major supermarket chain in the U.S. — from Kroger to Target to Safeway to Walmart — have store-brand lines of natural and organic products." This means Whole Foods has more competitors than just Trader Joes and other natural food stores. Shares for Whole Foods have dropped 31% in 2015.

Two major points are discussed in the blog:

Organic foods have become mainstream.
Mass-market retail outlets capture nearly half of sales.
