The global essential oils market is poised for growth, driven by escalating stress levels amid demanding work schedules and other factors, prompting increased adoption of aromatherapy for relaxation. Additionally, shifting consumer preferences toward natural cosmetics have heightened demand for products incorporating essential oils.
