The global essential oils market size is estimated to be valued at USD 8.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 15.3 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 11.8% in terms of value. The essential oils market is driven by the rise in the use of essential oils in the food & beverage industry like- candies, confectionery, pickles, and soft drinks and in aromatherapy in treating numerous disorders such as mental illnesses, respiratory infections, digestive control, olfactory disorders, and sleep disorders, among others.

Essential oil is a potent aromatic component isolated from an odoriferous plant of a single botanical species. It is highly concentrated and volatile and is made of various chemical constituents, which give it the characteristic fragrance that is inherent to its parent plant. Furthermore, the use of essential oils in the food industry, as antioxidants, flavorings, or colorants, has also increased, and they can also be used for food preservation. The use of essential oils to improve both food safety and shelf-life of meat products has been mostly used in food products, mainly in fresh beef, chicken, lamb, or rabbit meat.

“By application, the aromatherapy is projected to grow rapidly during the forecast period.”

The rising popularity of aromatherapy and other alternative medicine is increasing in demand, as are the relaxing effects of essential oils when applied through a massage. The health industry has begun to incorporate essential oils in aromatherapy applications to treat Alzheimer’s, bronchitis, and various cardiovascular problems. Changing lifestyles and their consequences, such as high stress and depression, along with increasing disposable incomes, results in an increase in demand for aromatherapy. Ginger oil, pine oil, oregano oil, and wintergreen oil are some of the essential oils used on a large scale in alternative therapies.

The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA), the Alliance of International Aroma Therapists, and The Canadian Federation of Aroma Therapists have established standards for aromatherapy certification in the US and Canada. This would allow the essential oil industry to use different oils for various aromatherapy products, globally.
