Propolis is a resinous material utilized by bees to safeguard their hives. Rich in antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds, it has been used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits, including wound healing, immune support, and anti-inflammatory effects. Research suggests it may help fight infections, improve dental health, and even aid skin conditions like acne and burns. Available in raw form, extracts, capsules, and creams, propolis is generally safe but may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, especially those with bee-related allergies. Always consult a healthcare provider before use.

The global market was dominated by the propolis extract category. Because of its many uses in industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and dietary supplements, the category is booming. Certain dermatology drugs that treat skin disorders, such as neurodermatitis, acne, and wound healing, contain propolis extracts. Since propolis may have anti-aging and skin-healing properties, it is often used in cosmetics. Propolis can be used as a natural preservative and taste enhancer in the food & beverage industry. It is also well-liked for strengthening immunity. Continuous advancements in propolis product formulations and delivery systems, such as tablets or capsules are also fueling the segment's expansion.
The propolis market was driven by the capsules/ tablets category. The market expansion of this category has been fueled by the rising demand for nutrient-rich products among consumers worldwide. Additionally, employing tablets and capsules has a number of advantages, such as precise dosing, simplicity of handling, and excellent chemical and physical stability, among others. Consequently, this propels the expansion of the market. Furthermore, to maintain their market reach, the majority of businesses involved in the manufacturing of food supplements use tablets and capsules. Thus, this is propelling the market's expansion throughout the projection period.
The Europe region dominated the global market for propolis in 2024. The region's dominance is the result of a combination of factors, including the traditional use of propolis, the expanding demand for natural products by consumers, the variety of industrial applications, and the robust regulatory frameworks. In order to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of natural health products and prevent abuse, Europe has implemented a robust regulatory framework. Propolis is being selected as a secure ingredient by a diverse array of businesses, including pharmaceutical products, skin and personal care, and food and beverage, in order to enhance their market position and navigate this highly regulated environment.
Furthermore, due to the region's long history of using natural medicines and the growing acceptance of alternative medicine, the Asia Pacific market is anticipated to grow at a strong compound annual growth rate. Due to the growing demand for natural health supplements and personal care products, nations like China, India, and Japan are the market's top contributors. Increased consumption of propolis products is partly a result of these nations' expanding middle classes, as disposable incomes rise and consumer tastes shift toward natural and organic items.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
