Market Outlook of Bearberry:

Berries have served as a food source ever since the advent of time and still remain a primary food source for many primates. In earlier times, berries were predominantly stored to be used and consumed in winters. Among berries, bearberry has gained significant importance over the years. Bearberry is a fruit belonging to the genus Arctostaphylos. Apart from Arctostaphylos, the fruits of two other shrubs, namely Arctostaphylos alpine and Arctostaphylos rubra, also claim for the title of bearberry. Bearberry is commonly known as uva-ursi and has been a part of traditional healing methods since times immemorial. Health benefits of bearberry fruit are mainly due to the uniquely designed chemical compounds present in bearberry, such as tannic, ursolic and many other flavonoids and essential oils. These organic compounds are very powerful and impact the body’s organs in numerous ways, making blueberry a valuable health remedy. Bearberry is predominantly found in Asia, Europe and North America. The wide applications of bearberry are expected to contribute towards the growth of the bearberry market in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe during the forecast period.
