“Rising Demand for Natural Sweeteners Benefiting Organic Honey Suppliers”
Demand for natural sweeteners is significantly increasing as young consumers are preferring them over artificial sweeteners because of increasing health concerns. Natural sweeteners are safe and secure for consumption and also provide nutritional benefits to the body. This is the reason why consumers are looking for natural organic sweeteners as a replacement to white sugar for tea, coffee, yogurt, baked food, and many other applications.
Natural sweeteners contain proteins, polyphenols, amino acids, and terpenoids, which offer safety, security, delicious taste, and high-quality nutrients to the finished products that are widely used by health-conscious consumers.
“Growing Use of Organic Honey in Alcoholic Beverages”
Honey wine is brewed from organic honey, yeast, and water. The product is very popular in many regions of the world. Demand for this beverage is increasing due to its recognition as one of the oldest alcoholic beverages enjoyed by ancient Greeks, Romans, and Africans. This gives an extra Unique Selling Point (USP) to the product in the market.
High production of alcoholic beverages is driving demand for organic honey. Consumption of alcoholic drinks is increasing among adults, and honey wine is the best healthy alternative to regular alcoholic drinks. Honey wine possesses several benefits such as containing various minerals, vitamins, and enzymes, which makes it a healthy choice for consumers.
Supply of organic honey has witnessed significant year-on-year growth as consumers are adopting a healthy lifestyle. Organic honey is ethically produced; it is pure, safe, secure, high in quality, and delivers healthy nutrients.

This increases demand for organic honey in food and non-food applications around the world. India and China are emerging markets for organic honey products, as customer preferences are shifting toward organic honey due to growing awareness of the ill-effects of artificial sweeteners, and hence, these countries are offering lucrative opportunities for organic honey manufacturers in the Asia Pacific region.
“Wide Availability of Organic Honey Substitutes”
Sugar and artificial sweeteners are substitutes for organic honey. Artificial sweeteners are obtained from natural substances such as herbs or sugar. Artificial sweeteners contain much more sugar as compared to refined sugar, which is widely used in jams and jellies, baked food, dairy products, soft drinks, and many more. Besides, cost of production of organic honey is also higher than regular honey and its substitutes.
Artificial substitutes such as aspartame and acesulfame are used to sweeten soft drinks, saccharin and sucralose are used to sweeten food and drinks, and stevia is obtained from a herb that is used for sweetening food and drinks. These substitutes for organic honey are easily available in the market and come at a more affordable price. Thus, strong presence of substitutes in the market will hamper growth of the organic honey market to some extent.
