Huge potential for ‘superberry’ Aronia

16-3-2026

The cultivation of the small, dark purple Aronia berries, commonly known as chokeberries is mainly concentrated in Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland, Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. 

They contain high levels of anthocyanin and flavonoids—five to ten times more than blueberries and cranberries, according to the Aronia Berry Services of Northeast Iowa.

According to an analysis by Growth Market Reports the aronia sector can reach a turnover of about $773 million by 2033. This is driven by growing demand for functional foods, natural ingredients, and nutraceutical products.

The research firm estimates the market reached $410 million in 2024 and will expand at a compound annual growth rate of 7.2 percent from 2025 through 2033. (Source: Freshfruitportal)
