I think the main uses of Aronia in Europe have been for natural colorings and in wines, esp apple wines. I think that what will happen is that as the amount of the crop goes up, there will be more uses for it. If it should reach a point where there is more Aronia fruit available than demand, that the growers will sponsor research to find more uses. That's what happened with shiitake mushrooms in Japan.

Not what happened with chinchilla or emu, however.

Jumping on the bandwagon after a lot of others have already done so is sometimes a bad idea.
