The essential oils market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.10% between 2025 to 2030.

Essential oils are extracts of various parts of beneficial plants concentrated into oils. The oils are obtained through the mechanical pressing method or distillation. The oils keep the smell of the plant from which they are extracted.

The increase in the stress levels of people around the world due to hectic work schedules and various other reasons has led to people seeking methods for relaxation, which is anticipated to propel aromatherapy and hence the essential oil market during the forecast period. Also, the changing preference of consumers for cosmetics and their increasing inclination towards natural cosmetics has led to increased demand for cosmetic products containing essential oils, which is anticipated to bolster the growth of the essential oils market during the forecast period. Also, as the consumers have become more aware of what they eat and what ingredients they contain, there are increased concerns regarding food additives and hence they are being replaced by natural alternatives like some essential oils. This, in turn, is anticipated to propel market growth in the coming years.

In short term, the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease led to disruption of the supply chain and hindrance in the manufacturing of products with essential oils due to the lockdown and Covid-19 safety measures. But after the lifting of lockdown in most parts of the world, manufacturing activities came to their normal. However, COVID-19 led to an increase in the stress levels of people around the world, which led to an increased interest of people towards essential oils for relaxation purposes. The pandemic saw a boost in the demand for essential oils and due to this, essential oils have been more popular since then, which is expected to surge the essential oils market in the coming years.

The rise in the prevalence of stress and anxiety

One of the key factors supplementing the Essential Oils market growth is the rising prevalence of stress and anxiety across the world, as essential oils are used in aromatherapy to relieve stress and anxiety.

According to WHO, one-fourth of the population of Europe suffers from anxiety or depression every year. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (2020), 31% of adults are estimated to experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their life.

According to American Psychological Association (2019), more than 75% of adults report having symptoms of stress, including sleeping problems and headaches. Also, a high level of work-related stress has been reported over the years, which is anticipated to propel the essential oils market during the forecast period. According to the Annual Statistics of Health and Safety Executive, UK Government, published in November 2020, 828 thousand of workers in the UK are suffering from work-related stress, depression, or anxiety as of 2019-20.

The report shows that the prevalence of work-related stress, depression, or anxiety has increased over the years with a prevalence rate of around 1500 per 100,000 workers reported in 2014-15 which rose to 2,440 per 100,000 workers in 2019-20. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, United States reported in their workplace stress statistics that 75% of the workers report having more stress than previous generations. Due to such an increase in stress levels across the globe, more people are seeking aromatherapy and making use of essential oils for relaxation and stress relief, which is anticipated to bolster market growth during the forecast period.

The rise in demand for natural cosmetic products

There is a rise in awareness of the benefits of natural ingredients in cosmetic products among people. This has led to a rise in the demand for cosmetic products having natural ingredients like essential oils. Essential oils are widely used in the natural cosmetics industry and the rise in demand for natural products is anticipated to bolster the essential oils market during the forecast period. Various companies that deal in cosmetics are launching their cosmetic brands and new cosmetic products looking at the high demand for natural products. For instance, in October 2018, the French cosmetics company L’Oréal launched its organic brand ‘La Provençale Bio’ for the French supermarket sector. As per the company, the brand has been launched to cater to the high demand for natural beauty products which is rapidly increasing.

This increasing demand for natural cosmetic products and companies launching new organic cosmetic brands and products is impacting the Essential Oils market positively and is anticipated to surge the market growth during the forecast period.

European to hold a prominent share of the market

Geographically, the European region is anticipated to hold a significant market share in the Essential Oils market owing to the widespread use of essential oil in cosmetics and the popularity of aromatherapy in the region. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness substantial growth due to the rising population and rapid urbanization in the region coupled with the increased popularity of natural products in the region, leading to a surge in the consumer base for products containing natural ingredients like essential oils.
