Market Segmentation

This market report extensively covers market segmentation by product (consumables and equipment), usage (topical application, aerial diffusion, and direct inhalation), and geography (North America, Europe, APAC, South America, and Middle East and Africa).

By Product

The market share growth by the consumables segment will be significant during the forecast period. The segment consists of blends, carrier oils, and essential oils. Even though essential oils still dominate this product category, manufacturers are expanding their line of blends of essential oils in response to the growing consumer demand for fresh scents. The strong preference for organic beauty and personal care products over chemical ones to enhance skin and hair care is expected to drive growth in the global market for consumables for home and spa use.

The consumables segment was valued at USD 1.33 billion in 2017. Companies are looking to increase their product offerings involving blends of essential oils to enhance the product offerings in aromatherapy and in general organic health and wellness. Pure organic essential oil production has improved as a result of consumers' strong preference for organic products over synthetic ones. Due to the country's growing use of aromatherapy techniques like massages to treat issues like anxiety, stress, and depression, the US is the world's largest market for essential oils and other consumables. Additionally, as more people are becoming aware of the therapeutic advantages of aromatherapy, there is an increasing demand for the products in regions like MEA, APAC, and South America. Since consumers must be made aware of the advantages before becoming accustomed to the idea and products, the supply in this market is met directly through offline channels like stores. However, as the use of the internet grows, consumers prefer to shop online because it offers options for easy purchases and product comparisons.  These factors will drive the growth of the segment and, in turn, the market in focus during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 30% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

The US, Canada, and Mexico are the leading contributors to the market in North America. The US is the largest importer of essential oils, demonstrating the high demand for aromatherapy products for use in personal care, home applications, and relaxation therapies. In the US, there is also a rising need for aromatherapy products in the workplace. This is because workplace wellness is being emphasized more to boost employee motivation and satisfaction. Diffusers used in offices for enhancing mood, hygiene, and fresh aromas have increased as a result of this. The market in the region will, therefore, grow during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is witnessing a surge in demand for essential oils and natural products due to their therapeutic uses. Particularly popular among millennials and women, these products are known for their ability to provide stress relief, relaxation, and holistic wellness solutions. Companies are introducing initiatives to promote the benefits of aromatherapy for various disorders, including acne scars, scar management, burn scars, digestion, cardiovascular disorders, and respiratory problems. Aromatherapy products like carrier oils and blended essential oils are commonly used through nebulizing diffusers, topical application, direct inhalation, and aerial diffusion for their healing properties. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

The increasing use of aromatherapy at home is notably driving market growth. Aromatherapy is primarily used at home for relaxation, sleep, mood enhancement, cold and flu relief, and pain management. The high demand for at-home aromatherapy products is fueled by factors such as cost, convenience, and privacy. A spa visit is more expensive financially than buying the necessary essential oils and using them at home, where one can avoid paying fees for various spa services.

The demand is also rising as a result of the ease with which consumables and diffusers can be purchased offline or online, appealing to Millennials interested in healing therapies. Companies and initiatives focusing on holistic wellness solutions are increasingly offering a variety of products, such as carrier oils, blended essential oils, and nebulizing diffusers. Lavender, which helps people unwind and sleep better, soothes pain, and speeds up healing, eucalyptus, which purifies and freshens the air and disinfects surfaces, and lemon, which improves mood, are some of the essential oils that are frequently used for aromatherapy at home. Thus, as more people become aware of the benefits of using aromatherapy at home to address common issues or problems, demand for these products is growing, which is good for business. Hence, these factors will drive the market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

The increasing demand for aromatherapy products is an emerging trend in the market growth. The development of essential oils has been positively impacted by the growing acceptance of aromatherapy and other natural remedies, including massage, for pain relief. Essential oils are being used in a growing number of cosmetic brands' products. Consumers who are willing to pay more for cosmetics containing aromatherapy ingredients are the ones who drive such product innovations. The demand for aromatherapy products is also likely to be fueled by the increasing prevalence of skin conditions. Aromatherapy is frequently used by people who have skin rashes because it nourishes the skin and lowers inflammation.

Numerous aromatherapy products are popular, including massage oils, hand creams, and bath salts. End-users can easily purchase aromatherapy-based products like body creams, moisturizers, lotions, lipsticks, body sprays, mists, and perfumes. For instance, OM SHE Aromatherapy is the first business in Australia to manufacture lipstick made from a combination of cold-pressed, natural, aromatic oil, flower, and plant extracts. Thus, the presence of various products will drive the growth of the market focus during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

The presence of counterfeit products is a major challenge impeding the market growth. To offer products at low prices, some manufacturers use inferior ingredients as part of their cost-cutting strategy. Sales of tainted goods are increasing, particularly when it comes to lavender oils. Lavender and Lavandin oil are two distinct chemicals. Lavandin, a hybrid variety, and synthetics are added to the lavender oil that is marketed as lavender oil. Lavandin is a less expensive alternative to lavender that is used in aromatherapy, crafts, and perfumes, but it can have serious side effects if consumed directly.

The majority of consumers are unable to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit goods, which may harm the original product's brand reputation. Customers have purchased essential oils from nearby companies in some instances to treat burns, but after applying the oils, their pain increased. Therefore, mislabeled essential oils may expose consumers to risks. Due to the ease with which counterfeiters can mimic popular product names or packaging designs, the sale of fake goods seriously damages the reputation of leading brands and their manufacturers. This, in turn, will negatively impact the market in focus during the forecast period.
