Other Non-Food Products
The awareness and demand for natural and organic housing and lifestyle has already existed for some time in Western countries (EU and North America) and began to grow also in Japan and other countries in the last few years.
For most people in Asia and other regions of the world (except Australia and New Zealand) organic products meant food and beverages. Media and global networking via the internet, social media and mailing lists have generated interest for natural/organic housing and lifestyle and subsequently a demand and market for such products.
These trends are likely to continue growing steadily in Western countries and in a more dynamic way in some Asian and other countries.
