Essential Oil Market Size Worth $35.5 Billion By 2028

Published On: November 1, 2022

The global essential oils market is projected to advance at a steady CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2028. The continued increase in demand for these products to address various physical as well as mental health issues, the growing popularity of aromatherapy across the globe, and constant advancements and innovations on part of the manufacturers are major factors driving the industry growth. Besides their benefits in the spa and relaxation space, these products are also being widely utilized as ingredients in the food and beverage industry, in bakery and confectionery products, as well as in nutritional bars, snacks, and beverages. Furthermore, they also have antimicrobial properties that make them ideal for household cleaning products such as kitchen and bathroom cleaners.

Essential oils are prepared through a distillation or extraction process from plants in order to derive highly concentrated oil or essence. The distillation process may involve either a direct water contact process or a steam contact process so that all the flavors and essence of roots, leaves, stems and flower parts of a plant can be extracted. Depending upon the oil type needed for the product, the raw materials required differ. Essential oils, unlike various conventional drugs and medicines, do not pose any extreme side effects for the user and have thus begun to be used widely in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.

The essential oils industry has been well-fragmented with the presence of notable international companies, as well as several regional and small-scale manufacturers. Major companies are striving to integrate operations right from raw material sourcing to manufacturing of the product, as a solution to cost-cutting in procurement and operational aspects. The prices of essential oils are anticipated to grow steadily in the coming years, as growing population, climate changes, dwindling size of arable land, and supply shortfalls have increased the prices of crops and plants globally.
