The Global Propolis Market size is expected to reach $743.9 million by 2030, rising at a market growth of 2.6% CAGR during the forecast period.
The rising prevalence of antioxidants in beauty and health supplements, propolis capsules, and extracts is expected to gain traction as more consumers are willing to incorporate antioxidants into their daily diets. Therefore, capsules & tablets segment would capture approximately 3/5th share of the market by 2030. In the past few years, there has been an increase in demand for various health supplements worldwide due to a greater understanding of health benefits. In addition, propolis contains polyphenols known as flavonoids, which are a source of antioxidants. Some of the factors impacting the market are increasing demand for propolis for developing cancer-related applications, rising awareness of bee products, and side-effects such as allergies caused due to use of propolis.
The growing demand for propolis in cancer-related applications reflects the increasing interest in complementary and integrative cancer prevention and treatment approaches. Its unique composition and potential health benefits make it an intriguing subject of research and an attractive option for individuals seeking natural ways to support their health and well-being. The demand for natural antioxidants like propolis has risen as individuals seek ways to reduce their cancer risk. Hence, these elements will aid in the expansion of the market throughout the forecast period. Bee products, including honey, royal jelly, bee pollen, and propolis, have gained attention for their nutritional and potential health benefits. Increasing consumer awareness of health and wellness has fuelled the demand for natural and functional foods, supplements, and remedies. As people become more health conscious, they are seeking natural alternatives to support their well-being. Additionally, effective marketing and promotion campaigns by producers and brands have raised awareness about the benefits of bee products and their diverse uses. Therefore, the rising awareness of the benefits of various bee products, including propolis, is expected to drive the market.
However, while propolis is generally considered safe, it can cause specific side effects in some individuals, particularly those allergic to bee products or particular components found in propolis. Allergic reactions to propolis can vary from mild to severe intensity and may include symptoms such as skin itching, redness, hives, swelling, and sometimes difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis. In addition, the topical application of its products can, in rare instances, cause contact dermatitis. This presents as redness, itching, and skin irritation. These side effects act as a restraining factor for the market during the forecast period.
