The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the demand for both traditional and alternative medicine, trends in aromatherapy, the increasing demand for natural and organic products, growth in the cosmetic and personal care industry, flavoring in the food and beverage sector, and the rising awareness of health benefits.
The essential oils market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.25 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the prevalence of wellness and self-care trends, the incorporation of natural fragrance in home products, the expansion of beauty and personal care markets, a focus on sustainable and ethical practices, and global exploration of unique flora. Major trends expected in the forecast period include expansion into emerging markets, innovative blending and formulations, an increased emphasis on sustainability and ethical sourcing, the growing popularity of aromatherapy, and a rising demand for organic and natural products.
The global growth of the spa industry is expected to significantly contribute to the expansion of the essential oils market. Essential oils play a crucial role in aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine that promotes health and well-being. There is a rising consumer preference for natural and organic oil products on a global scale. As reported by The Global Wellness Institute, a US-based nonprofit organization, in 2022, the spa industry comprised more than 181,000 establishments, generating revenues totaling $105 billion. Furthermore, projections indicate that spa revenues will surpass pre-pandemic levels by 2023, reaching an estimated $156 billion by 2027. Consequently, the burgeoning spa industry worldwide is a key driver for the growth of the essential oils market.
The growth of the essential oils market is expected to be propelled by the increasing consumer preference for natural products. Natural products, derived from living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, are favored over synthetic or artificially created compounds. The rising awareness and preference among consumers for natural and organic products contribute to the growing demand for essential oils, which are extracted from plant sources. In August 2022, the New Hope Network, a US-based media company, reported that sales of natural and organic products in the United States experienced a projected growth of 7.7% in 2021, reaching approximately $272 billion. Sales are anticipated to continue this upward trajectory, with forecasts indicating a surpassing of $300 billion by 2024 and reaching $400 billion by the year 2030. Hence, the increasing consumer preference for natural products is a significant factor driving the growth of the essential oils market.
