Market Dynamics:

Driver: Increase in demand for aromatherapy

Aromatherapy can be defined as the use of essential oils for healing and cosmetic purposes. Essential oils benefit the physiological as well as psychological activity simultaneously in the body, owing to which they are largely used in aromatherapy. Until recently, aromatherapy was considered a complementary therapy; however, it is currently considered a mainstream therapy. The increased demand for aromatherapy could be attributed to several factors, the most important being the general rise in income in the past decade. As incomes have increased, the consumers’ tastes and preferences have also shifted toward more sophisticated products. According to the International Spa Association (ISPA), spa visits have been growing each year. According to the 2019 US Spa Industry Study, the spa industry witnessed an increase across the board in key performance metrics. The spa industry once again set records in total revenue, spa visits, spa locations, revenue per visit and total employees in 2018.

The spa locations rose to 22,160, a 1.8% jump from the 21,770 in 2017 in the US. The revenue per visit climbed to USD 96.50, a 3% rise from 2017.

Restraint: Depletion of natural resources

A healthy ecosystem provides a range of benefits that acts as the foundation of human well-being. Plants are an essential part of this ecosystem as they balance the world by providing food and shelter. They also assist in physiological and psychological well-being through their therapeutic products such as essential oils. However, this source is exhausting gradually. This could be attributed to an increase in population and industrialization that has resulted in deforestation.

With the increased population, an increasing number of trees are cut to accommodate the increased number of people. According to The World Counts, “up to 28,000 species can go extinct in the next quarter-century due to deforestation. 13 million hectares of forest have been converted for other uses or destroyed by natural causes.

Food & beverage, by application, is estimated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period

As consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the health benefits of essential oils, the preferences for food & beverage products with these oils as additives has increased.


Asia Pacific is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period
