Aromatherapy Global Market Report 2026

Aromatherapy involves the use of devices that utilize essential oils extracted from nature, such as plants, for inhalation or topical application to promote health and well-being. The aroma molecules in essential oils directly impact the brain's emotional center, the amygdala, when inhaled, providing various benefits such as pain reduction, improved sleep quality, alleviation of joint pain, and stress reduction.

The main types of aromatherapy products include equipment and consumables. Aromatherapy equipment can be electronic or non-electronic devices that break down essential oils into molecules and disperse them into the air as tiny breathable particles. These devices can be utilized through topical application, areal diffusion, and direct inhalation. Aromatherapy products serve various purposes, including relaxation, skin and hair care, pain management, addressing colds and coughs, scar management, insomnia, among others. These products are distributed through both business-to-business (B2B) and direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels, reaching customers for home use, spa and wellness centers, hospitals and clinics, as well as yoga and meditation centers.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are affecting the aromatherapy market by increasing costs of imported essential oils, diffusers, packaging materials, and aroma extraction equipment. Producers in North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported botanical inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure for export-oriented oil processing. These tariffs are raising product prices and affecting affordability. However, they are also encouraging local sourcing of botanicals, regional oil extraction, and innovation in blended formulations.

The aromatherapy market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.3 billion in 2025 to $2.54 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing consumer awareness of mental well-being, growth of alternative therapy adoption, rising disposable incomes, expansion of spa and wellness centers, availability of diverse essential oil blends.

The aromatherapy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on holistic health solutions, rising demand for personalized wellness therapies, expansion of e-commerce wellness platforms, growing adoption in clinical relaxation therapies, increasing interest in natural remedies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of natural and organic essential oils, growing demand for stress and sleep management solutions, expansion of aromatherapy in wellness centers, increased use of home diffusers and inhalers, enhanced focus on personalized wellness products.

The rising prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression is expected to drive the growth of the aromatherapy market going forward. Stress, anxiety, and depression are psychological conditions, with stress being the body's response to challenging situations, anxiety characterized by excessive worry about future events, and depression marked by persistent sadness and loss of interest that affects daily functioning. This increase is primarily driven by rising work pressures, which intensify mental and emotional strain on individuals. Aromatherapy helps alleviate these conditions by using natural, plant-based essential oils to promote relaxation, balance mood, and support emotional well-being. For instance, in May 2024, the American Psychiatric Association (APA), a US-based professional medical organization, reported that 43% of adults felt more anxious in 2024 compared to 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022. Therefore, the growing stress, anxiety, and depression among people is expected to boost demand for aromatherapy during the forecast period.

Key companies in the aromatherapy market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as rechargeable diffusers, to enhance convenience, wellness, and relaxation. A rechargeable diffuser disperses essential oils into the air and can be powered repeatedly using a built-in battery, eliminating the need for constant plug-in power. For example, in April 2024, Saje Natural Wellness, a Canada-based wellness and aromatherapy company, launched a new cordless and rechargeable diffuser. This innovation overcomes the limitations of traditional plug-in diffusers by allowing users to enjoy aromatherapy anywhere in their home without relying on power outlets. It delivers efficient, long-lasting mist, user-friendly operation, and a modern design suitable for various interior settings. Integrated with Saje's range of essential oil blends, it provides an elevated aromatherapy experience, greater flexibility, and aligns with growing consumer demand for portable and eco-conscious wellness solutions.

In March 2023, the Robertet Group, a France-based natural flavors and fragrances company, acquired Aroma Esencial for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Robertet Group's presence in the global aromatherapy and essential oils market while diversifying its product portfolio. Aroma Esencial, based in Spain, specializes in high-quality essential oils and wellness-focused aromatherapy solutions.
