The application of this oil is rising in multiple industries like food & beverages and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, the growing aromatherapy market is raising the demand for peppermint essential oil as its refreshing scent has stress-relieving properties. Hence, all these factors together are growing the market of peppermint essential oil.

The Peppermint Essential Oil Market consists of the production of peppermint herb, oil extraction, and selling and distributing oil in different industries like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and many others.

What are the Global Peppermint Essential Oil Market Drivers?

• The growing demand for peppermint oil in its end-use market is driving the market

Peppermint oil’s demand is rising due to its increased demand in various end-use markets such as aromatherapy, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, etc. The unique aromatic features of peppermint features, like its cooling & minty fragrance due to the dominance of menthol, make its demand high in the aromatics market for the spa and relaxation segment. Furthermore, its therapeutic features are increasing its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, the increasing end-use of peppermint is leading to its market expansion.

• Growing consumer demand for natural and organic products for their health and wellness is driving the peppermint oil market

Consumers are getting more health conscious. They are demanding natural and organic products that can positively impact their health and wellness. Peppermint oil, having therapeutic, aromatic, and medicinal properties and many health benefits, is being demanded. Consumers are using peppermint oil in their skincare regimes for their digestive remedies and personal care, such as soaps and lotions, which is expanding the market growth of peppermint oil.

Segmentation Analysis of the Global Peppermint Essential Oil Market:

• Natural Peppermint Essential Oil is anticipated to lead the market during the forecast period.

The natural peppermint oil market is anticipated to grow more rapidly than synthetic peppermint oil in the coming years. There are many reasons for the growth of natural peppermint oil. Consumers prefer natural peppermint oil over synthetic peppermint oil as the composition of natural peppermint oil, including menthol, menthone, etc., contributes to its aromatic and therapeutic features. On the other hand, synthetic peppermint oil lacks the natural and complex composition of natural peppermint oil, leading consumers to choose natural over synthetic ones. Therefore, in the coming years, the demand for natural peppermint will be increasing more rapidly than synthetic ones.

Lebermuth Inc., doTerra, Young Living Essential Oils LLC, and many other key market players in peppermint essential oil are increasingly prioritizing natural peppermint oil by producing it through the steam distillation process to preserve its composition and benefits over synthetic peppermint oil. Various reports also suggest companies shifting priority towards natural peppermint oil due to changes in consumer preference for natural peppermint oil.

• North America will be a leading region in the global peppermint essential oil market.

By geography, the global peppermint essential oil market is classified into five major regional markets- North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Asia Pacific (APAC). The North American peppermint essential oil market will hold a significant global market share throughout the forecast period. 

This growth is due to the increasing growth in related end-use industries. The demand for health and wellness products is growing in North America, particularly in the United States and Canada. Consumers are demanding more natural products for their skincare. It is also widely used in the aromatherapy and pharmaceutical industries. Hence, due to the increasing demand for peppermint essential oil in the end-use industries, this market in North America is growing more than in other regions. 

Major Restraints in the Global Peppermint Essential Oil Market:

• Other essential oils in the market can limit the peppermint essential oil market growth

The market is flooded with many essential oils, and some are more popular than peppermint essential oil due to their wide applications in various industries, like lavender oil, tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, and many more. These essential oils challenge this market because of their unique features and applications in the same industry as peppermint essential oils, like cosmetics, personal care, etc. At the same time, they have similar cooling and soothing effects and anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. Thus, peppermint essential oil will face hindrances in the global market.

Key Developments in the Global Peppermint Essential Oil Market:

• In September 2023, Escents, a renowned company in aromatherapy, launched a new product variant of peppermint oil – pure peppermint essential oil. The Escents team has said that mixing 4-20 drops of peppermint essential oil with 10 ml of carrier oil is recommended for use.
