Europe Propolis Market is growing at a CAGR of 5.2% and is expected to reach a value of USD xx million by 2027 during the forecast period of 2022 to 2027.
Overview:
Propolis is a resinous mixture produced by honey bees by combining saliva and beeswax with exudate collected from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. It is used as a beehive sealant to close up unwanted open spaces. Bees do produce not only honey but also a compound called propolis. Combining the sap with their excretions and beeswax creates a sticky, greenish-brown substance that they use as a coating on their hives. Propolis was used medicinally by ancient civilizations thousands of years ago. The Greeks used it to treat abscesses. The Assyrians applied it to wounds and tumors to fight infection and hasten to heal.
In 2021, Innovations in Nutrition + Wellness (INW) announced the acquisition of Bee Health, the leading developer and manufacturer of nutritional supplements in the United Kingdom. The highly complementary product capabilities and geographical scope of INW and Bee Health will further enhance the services provided to brand partners.
Comvita Ltd announced a strategic alliance with Caravan, a joint venture with the entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency, in 2021. (CAA). By forming a celebrity-backed lifestyle brand that uses the natural healing properties of Mnuka Honey and Propolis for topical use, the new partnership with Caravan will help increase consumer awareness about the benefits of Mnuka Honey and Propolis.
The primary drivers of the propolis market are the increase in interest in the medical services and medical sectors, as well as the development of awareness about its therapeutic properties. These factors are expected to play a significant role in the propolis market’s growth and development in the coming years. In addition, Propolis consumption strengthens the immune system over time while acting as an antioxidant, anesthetic, and wound healer, making it an important component of the pharmaceutical industry. These propolis benefits will drive growth in the Europe propolis market in the coming year.
Propolis-containing ointments, such as Herstat or Coldsore-FX, may aid in the healing and relief of symptoms associated with cold sores and genital herpes. In addition, it was also discovered that applying topical propolis three times a day aid in healing cold sores more quickly than other treatments. Therefore, Propolis' benefits and properties are expected to drive market growth in the future. Furthermore, the increase in the manufacturers of propolis and the increase in beekeeping also contribute to the market's growth.
One of the factors that may limit the growth of the European propolis market is the lack of standardization across available brands when purchasing propolis. For example, many brands claim to be made of 20% pure propolis. This, however, does not inform the consumer about the quality of that 20%. Such a limitation in information transparency may limit the market growth.
Furthermore, there is a general lack of awareness about propolis, which has some negative environmental effects. For example, people allergic to bee products may experience allergic reactions to propolis. As a result, it is critical to be aware of your allergens. Propolis consumption in excess can also irritate the mouth and cause ulcers. Furthermore, certain chemical compounds in propolis may inhibit blood clotting. As a result, people who recently had surgery or have bleeding disorders should avoid using it. These are some of the factors that may impede the market growth.

Covid-19 Analysis:
The COVID-19 pandemic increased demand for propolis because of its functional properties. However, falling propolis production as an ingredient significantly impacted the market's supply chain. In addition, the COVID-19 lockdown has created a unique challenge for beekeepers and bees. Non-essential vehicle movement has come to a halt as countries enter long-term lockdowns. As a result, bee farmers found it difficult to move their bee boxes from one location to another, both nationally and internationally, resulting in starving bees; this reduced bee pollination and propolis production. Furthermore, labor shortages impacted end-product production, negatively impacting the propolis market.
