The global nootkatone market size was estimated at USD 16.5 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 46.9 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2025 to 2033. The growing consumer preference for clean-label, sustainable, and plant-based products is accelerating the adoption of natural compounds like nootkatone.
Nootkatone's bio-based origin and eco-friendly profile make it a desirable substitute for synthetic flavor and fragrance agents. Companies across the food, cosmetics, and personal care sectors are reformulating products to meet this demand. As a result, nootkatone is gaining strong traction as a premium natural ingredient in global markets.
Nootkatone's proven ability to repel mosquitoes and ticks while remaining safe for humans and pets is driving its use in natural insect repellents. Unlike traditional chemicals such as DEET, it offers an environmentally friendly and non-toxic alternative. Regulatory approvals from bodies like the U.S. EPA have further strengthened its commercial potential. This shift toward safer pest control solutions is fueling widespread market adoption.
Advancements in biotechnology offer significant opportunities to produce nootkatone sustainably and at lower costs. Companies investing in fermentation or microbial synthesis methods can achieve higher yields compared to traditional grapefruit extraction. This not only reduces production expenses but also ensures a consistent supply of high-quality nootkatone. Such innovations can open new avenues for large-scale commercialization across diverse end-use industries.
