Increasing Health Awareness Trend to Fuel the India Organic Honey Market

The increased awareness around healthy eating practices and the rising number of diabetic patients in the country are propelling the sales of organic honey in India. In India, an estimated 77 million people above the age of 18 years are suffering from diabetes (type 2) and nearly 25 million are prediabetics.

The transformed consumer behavior results from rising incidences of lifestyle diseases and a growing emphasis on preventive healthcare. With the rising awareness around food habits, consumers are actively researching natural products that promise health benefits like improved immunity and digestive health while not taking away the sweetness from their meals. Product innovations comprise the usage of organic sweeteners, promoting digestive health and nutrition. Companies tend to work through their research and development wings while introducing exotic flavors.

For instance, in October 2024, Natural Box Retail Pvt Ltd. (Farmery) introduced two new honey variants: Organic Honey and Wild Forest Honey. Both variants will be available in eco-friendly glass bottles, packaged as 500g with an additional 100g free offer. Certified organic farms deliver the (500g + 100g Free) Farmery's Organic Honey (USD 7.59), guaranteeing that consumers will receive pure, chemical-free, and nutrient-rich honey.  Packed with antioxidants and therapeutic qualities, Wild Forest Honey (500g + 100g Free) costs USD 7.19 while it is gathered from naturally existing hives in the forest. It captures the essence of the wild.

Government Initiatives and Export Growth Drive the Indian Organic Honey Market

The rapid growth of the market is mainly attributed to positive government support in terms of initiatives like the central government’s National Beekeeping & Honey Mission (NBHM). The scheme promotes and develops scientific beekeeping in mission mode to promote the sweet revolution. These central and state government initiatives help accelerate the momentum for organic honey farming. For instance, in May 2024, the Sikkim government launched "Khangchendzonga Honey" in Yuksam. Over the last two years, farmers from communities neighboring Khangchendzonga National Park (KNP) have received training in beekeeping as part of this initiative and are now creating organic honey. The organic honey produced locally is gathered by Khangchendzonga Conservation Committee (KCC), packaged, and then distributed to the market under the name "Khangchendzonga Honey."

Furthermore, expanding export opportunities and global market penetration are key drivers for the Indian organic honey market. With increasing international demand for authentic, high-quality organic products, India is strategically positioned to leverage its diverse floral resources and traditional beekeeping expertise.

Wildflower Segment to Holds the Biggest Share in the Market

Based on floral variety, wildflower honey leads the Indian organic honey market. Unlike other varieties that have limited floral sources, acacia, clover, or, more specifically, manuka are associated with New Zealand. The vast naturally organic sources of wildflower honey, across varying regions, offer complex flavors that fulfill considerable nutritional benefits. It is due to the diversity of wildflowers in India. India is home to a vast array of wildflowers due to its varied climate, diverse landscapes, and rich ecosystems, which create ideal conditions for numerous plant species to flourish, including many that are unique to the region. The undisputed dominance of this variety in the Indian market is due to the natural occurrence of wildflower sources and a growing consumer preference for locally sourced, genuine organic produce. Companies focus on delivering products around wildflower flora.

For instance, in March 2023, Bagrrys India Limited launched organic wild honey. This product is Certified organic honey, which is real, raw & honest. Bagrry’s Organic Wild Honey is 100% pure with nothing else added, free from any adulteration, 0% added sugar or added preservatives.
