Apiculture Market - Forecasts from 2021 to 2026
The apiculture market is evaluated at US$8.943 billion for the year 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.02%, reaching a market size of US$ 11.015 billion by the year 2026.
Apiculture refers to the management of bees to extract honey and beeswax from their beehives by applying scientific and commercial techniques. The place where the beehives are kept and managed for the production of honey, wax, propolis, etc. is called an Apiary. The growing awareness about the health benefits of honey has made it popular which is anticipated to surge the apiculture market growth in the coming years. Also, there is increased support from the governments of various countries around the world and incentives are being provided by them to promote beekeeping. This, in turn, is expected to further provide a surge to the apiculture market growth. Moreover, there is an increased use of honey as an alternative to artificial sweeteners which is further anticipated to boost the apiculture market growth during the forecast period.
The Covid-19 pandemic made a negative impact on the apiculture market initially. As the lockdown was implemented around the world and the activities were halted, people were restrained from working from their homes. However, industries like apiculture which cannot be managed from home were hugely impacted. The programs related to apiculture such as the Beehive Distribution Program of United States was deferred due to budget uncertainties produced by the pandemic. The Virginia State Beekeepers Association stated that their plans for meetings and conferences regarding beekeeping were dampened by Covid-19. But as the lockdown has been lifted and activities have almost come to their normal, the apiculture market has come to its regular pace and is anticipated to grow further from 2021 onwards.

The recognition of these advantages associated with the consumption of honey is anticipated to have a positive impact on the apiculture market growth. Various companies selling honey have been marketing their honey products by stating the health benefits of honey which have made people more aware of the health benefits of honey which are expected to surge the apiculture market in the coming five years. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, honey is a quick and convenient source of energy that does not require a complicated digestive process.
