Essential Oils Market Key Insights | Report to 2030

 

Essential Oils Industry Overview

 

The global essential oils market size was valued at USD 23.74 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% from 2024 to 2030. This is attributable to increasing demand from major end-use industries such as food & beverage, personal care & cosmetics, and aromatherapy. Increasing consumption of beer and other alcoholic beverages is expected to enhance the expansion of flavors market.

 

Essential oils contain complex, volatile chemical compounds, which are known for their antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. Unlike most of the conventional medicines and drugs, these oils have no major side effects. Such factors are projected to be the major driving factor for market growth. Conventional medicines and drugs are also using pleasant smelling aroma compounds to create appealing products, mainly for chemicals that emit undesirable odors. Essential oils are also steadily replacing most chemicals, drugs, and medicines owing to associated health benefits and decreased the risk of side effects.

Rising demand for convenience and ready-to-eat meals, health, and wellness foods, as well as technological advancements are expected to boost food flavors market growth. Rapid industrialization and increasing consumer disposable incomes in emerging economies such as China and India are also projected to foster the global food flavors market over the forecast period.

 

Essential oils such as rose, sandalwood, Melissa, and German chamomile, which are widely utilized in aromatherapy application, are expensive owing to the difficult extraction process involved. The high price of key essential oils used in aromatherapy is an important factor behind the slow growth of aromatherapy industry in developing countries such as India, Malaysia, etc. compared to developed countries such as the UK, France, and the U.S. among others. However, growth in GDP and the presence of various untapped market opportunities in Asia Pacific are the major factors attracting aromatherapy industry players to establish and expand their business in emerging economies such as India, China, and Indonesia.

 

Numerous forests have been chopped down to derive very small amounts of oil. Several arable lands have also been converted into monoculture farming lands to cultivate a single plant or crop to derive a particular oil. Production of these crops and plants is undertaken by large multinational firms that disregard the environment and endanger numerous ecosystems. It is thus becoming increasingly difficult to cultivate enough plants to produce one pound of oil.
