HONG KONG, Aug. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — With the global demand for organic products continues to rise, organic food and beverages market is forecasted to nearly triple by 2025 reaching $320.5 billion; an estimated 9.5% compounded annual growth rate in organic personal care market; all eyes are on Asia to fuel that surge. From natural foods & beverages offering plant base alternatives and natural ingredients, to natural beauty products toting cruelty-free manufacturing and clean packaging, to the growing nutraceuticals market in response to natural and healthy lifestyles, Asia is projected to witness the fastest growth in the “organic movement” and account for over 12% of global revenue by 2025.

As proof, this month in Hong Kong from 29-31 August, the 5^th edition of Natural & Organic Products Asia (NOPA) will host first time to debut products for the worldwide market alongside 1,000s of organic and natural products from international bestselling companies and manufacturers.
