Citral market has been witnessing steady growth in the recent years. Citral which is also known as 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal, is a crystalline, colorless liquid that occurs naturally in lemongrass oil. Derived commonly from lemongrass and litsea cubeba May Chang, it is used as a fragrance and flavoring agent in perfumes, soaps, lotions, and household products. It provides a lemony scent and is valued for its ability to mask unpleasant odors. As consumer's preference for natural ingredients rises and essential oil products continue to gain popularity, the demand for citral is surging in the personal care and home care industries. Citral is used for formulation of many types of cosmetic and personal care products including aftershave lotions, bath products, moisturizers, perfumes & colognes, and skin care products. Growing cosmetics & personal care industry is expected to boost growth of the citral market.
The citral market is primarily driven by increasing application as a flavoring and fragrance agent in various sectors including food & beverages, personal care, home care, and others. Growing consumer preference for natural ingredients coupled with rising demand for aromatherapy and essential oils is fueling the market growth. Citral provides fresh, clean, lemony fragrance which makes it a popular choice for perfumes, soaps, detergents, and cleaning products. Changing lifestyle and growing middle-class population are also contributing to the market expansion. However, availability issues pertaining to raw materials that are used for citral extraction and price volatility associated with its natural derivatives hamper the market potential. On the positive side, expanding use in products like air fresheners and disinfectants opens new avenues.
