Apiculture Market Dynamics

Drivers:  Increase in health consciousness drives a demand for natural sugar substitutes

There has been an increase in population demanding natural and healthy alternatives to processed sugar and artificial sugar substitutes. Since apiculture products, such as honey, are considered as highly nutritious and beneficial for health, there is a rising demand for the same to be used as a naturally occurring sugar substitute.

Restraints: Protection and nurturing the bees turns out to be the biggest constraint

The market is also being restrained due to increased honey adulteration and decrease in number of beehives and beekeepers along with scarcity of improved agricultural equipment. Honey adulterations especially prohibit the market from growing at its full potential.

Opportunities: Rising consumer interest towards apiculture products

Consumers are increasingly demanding immunity boosting products, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Honey being a natural ingredient for immunity boosting remedies, its market size is expected to witness a healthy growth over the forecasted period. Furthermore, use of honey is also growing in the pharmaceutical sector due to presence of various amino acids, enzymes, minerals and other natural substances.

Challenges: Managing live bees for apiculture tends to be cost intensive

Managing the live bees happens to be cost intensive, as maintenance and protection of the live bees is increasingly tending to be a high maintenance affair. This is owing to them being affected by rising local temperatures along with rising prevalence of pathogens in commercially managed bees.

By product, honey is projected to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period.

Honey is increasingly being accepted as a natural sugar substitute amongst health-conscious consumers. Presence of antibacterial and antioxidant properties has also made the product a good substitute for artificial sweeteners. Furthermore, it has a longer shelf life which further attracts consumers to purchase it.

By application, medical and cosmetics is expected to showcase the fastest growth

Owing to different natural nutraceutical elements found in honey, its usage in pharma industry is expected to witness a boost during the forecasted period. Honey’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make it a competitive proponent against other products in the market for health and anti-ageing benefits.

Asia Pacific has the largest market share in 2022 with China being the most dominant producer of honey and other apiculture products in the region. Higher yields of China are driven by emergence of new commercial producers along with high production capabilities and better infrastructure, when compared to other countries in the region.
