The global propolis market was valued at USD 607.10 million in 2020 and it is expected to register a CAGR of 5.48% during the forecast period 2021-2026

New York, May 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Propolis Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06067798/?utm_source=GNW
As countries go into extended lockdowns, the movement of non-essential vehicles has come to a standstill. Consequently, bee farmers found it difficult to move their bee boxes from one place to another, both cross-country and internationally, which resulted in bees starving to death. This reduced bee pollination and the production of propolis. Moreover, the availability of limited labour power further the production of end products.
Propolis intake strengthens the immune system, simultaneously serving as an antioxidant, anesthetic, and wound healer, which makes it an important component of the pharmaceutical sector.
One of the challenges while purchasing Propolis is the lack of standardization across available brands. Many brands state they are made from 20% pure Propolis, however this does not inform the consumer of the quality of that 20%. Such a drawback in information transparency might restrain the growth of the market.
