Bulk Honey Market by Type (Conventional, Organic), Application (Cosmetic, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals), Distribution Channel - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Bulk Honey Market size was estimated at USD 9.21 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 9.70 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.47% to reach USD 13.37 billion by 2030.

Bulk honey refers to honey that is purchased or sold in large quantities, typically for commercial use, rather than in the smaller packaging designed for direct retail to consumers. Unlike packaged honey found on supermarket shelves, bulk honey is often procured by businesses for use in food production, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or as a raw ingredient in various products that incorporate honey. This honey comes in various forms, such as raw, pasteurized, & filtered, depending on the needs of the buyer. The bulk format allows for more cost-effective procurement practices for businesses that require honey in significant volumes for their production processes or product offerings. Growing customer awareness of the health benefits associated with natural sweeteners as opposed to artificial additives is driving the demand for honey. Moreover, the expanding global food and beverage sector continuously seeks quality ingredients, including honey, for product innovation and enhancement. However, the issue of honey adulteration can undermine consumer trust and market integrity. Furthermore, the increasing consumer preference for flavored and specialty honey opens new avenues for producers to diversify their offerings. Advancements in honey processing and packaging technology can enhance product quality and shelf life, making honey more appealing for industrial applications.

Regional Insights

The Americas region encompassing the United States & Canada is one of the prominent consumers of honey. The market in this region is primarily driven by the food & beverage industry and increasing consumer preference for natural sweeteners. The local production, however, is not sufficient to meet the demand, making the United States a significant importer of honey. In the European Union, there is a strong emphasis on the quality and traceability of honey, influenced by stringent EU regulations. Consumers in the EU are willing to pay a premium for organic and single-origin honey varieties. In the Middle East, the demand for honey is influenced by its traditional use in local cuisines and as a natural sweetener. In Africa, the market presents untapped potential, with efforts needed to improve production and processing capabilities. As the global producer and consumer of honey, the APAC region plays a pivotal role in the global bulk honey market. In the APAC, consumers value honey as a food product and its medicinal properties, which are rooted in traditional medicine.
