Understanding Consumer
Preferences in the Asia-Pacific Cut
Flower Market
The Asia Pacific region is the most densely populated in the
world. Asia is noted for several cut flowers, tropical and seasonal. Several
cultures in Asia regard flowers as an important part of their heritage. They
are an essential part of celebrations, mourning as well as decoration. The
floriculture industry in Asia is thriving because of the increased importance
of flowers for weddings, offerings in religious places, as well as home and
commercial decorations. The cut flowers industry has developed in Asia because
of low-cost flower demand in European countries. Roses are the most popular cut
flowers in Europe. Imports of fresh-cut roses from third-world countries into
the European Union (EU) increased from USD 623.23 million to USD 761 million
between 2011 and 2015. The Netherlands, Germany, and the UK are the top
importers in the EU, accounting for over 70% of all cut rose imports.
Asia has enormous potential in the global floriculture business
that has yet to be exploited globally. The region is mostly concerned with
serving the domestic market. This can be ascribed to the region’s rapidly
expanding economy, huge population density, and consumer perception. Cut
flowers, cut foliage, and potted plants dominate the Asian home flower
industry. Flowers have been an important aspect of Asian culture for thousands
of years, and they are an important part of spiritual and cultural traditions.
