Citronella Oil Market Insights, 2025: Citronella Oil – Key Drivers and Opportunities

Citronella oil, an essential oil extracted from lemongrass, is well-known for its insect-repellent properties and is widely used in the personal care and household products sectors, particularly in candles, sprays, and lotions designed to repel mosquitoes. The key driver behind the citronella oil market is the rising awareness of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, leading to increased demand for natural and non-toxic alternatives to chemical insecticides. As consumers become more health-conscious, they are shifting towards natural repellents made from plant-based ingredients like citronella oil.

Additionally, citronella oil's use in the fragrance industry for its refreshing, citrus-like scent further boosts its demand. The growing trend of eco-friendly and sustainable products, especially in the personal care industry, is also contributing to the expansion of citronella oil's applications. Citronella oil is seen as a safe, renewable, and biodegradable alternative to synthetic chemicals, which aligns with the shift towards clean label and sustainable packaging solutions.

Opportunities in the citronella oil market include its expanding use in the pet care industry, where natural insect repellents are gaining traction due to their safety profile. The growing popularity of aromatherapy and wellness products that emphasize natural ingredients also opens up new markets for citronella oil in diffusers, massage oils, and wellness products.
