Propolis Market Trends




  • Rising Antioxidant Supplement Demand Would Drive Market Growth




The multifunctional benefits of antioxidants, notably the one that promotes youthful skin and facial aesthetics, have largely spurred consumer interest in foods and cosmetic items containing all sources of antioxidants, including the potentially increasing propolis. According to studies, propolis contains more than 300 distinct chemicals, the majority of which are polyphenols in various forms. Antioxidants like polyphenols aid the body's defence against illness and injury. Over the past few years, demand for supplements has increased significantly due to growing awareness of the health benefits provided by various supplements. For instance, sales of vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional supplements reached over CAD 1.17 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to data released by Statistics Canada. Propolis also contains flavonoids, a type of polyphenol that is an excellent source of antioxidants. Since more consumers are eager to include antioxidants in their daily diets, it is projected that the ingredient's rising popularity in beauty and health supplements, propolis capsules, and extracts will gain momentum and experience a booming increase in sales throughout the forecast period.


Furthermore, the key drivers of the propolis market CAGR are the increase in interest in propolis in the medical services and medicine sectors, as well as the growth of awareness about its therapeutic characteristics. These elements are predicted to impact the propolis industry's growth and development in the next years. Major firms are offering propolis-based products to satisfy certain health demands. As a result, one of the primary elements driving propolis interest in the market is the many medical benefits and the ease of access to items containing propolis extracts.


Additionally, sales of natural products with immune-strengthening qualities are increasing due to the high mortality rate of coronavirus illness (COVID-19) and the lack of an antiviral cure. The market is expanding because propolis has powerful antibacterial, bactericidal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities. It is also abundant in antioxidants and bioactive chemicals. In addition, top producers provide a wide range of propolis-based product options to address various medicinal demands. They also spend money on packaging upgrades and marketing initiatives like celebrity sponsorships to keep their competitive edge and broaden their market reach. Thus, driving the propolis industry revenue.
