The wide-scale application of essential oils across various industries will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Clean labeling of essential oils is an emerging trend shaping market growth. The demand for clean labeled products is increasing among consumers, which is compelling vendors to ensure that the products include only those ingredients that consumers recognize as natural and wholesome. Clean-labeled essential oils are gaining high popularity. To increase the sales of essential oils, vendors are ensuring that their products comply with clean labeling. In addition to providing information about the composition and quality of the essential oils, clean labeling also emphasizes sustainable and ethical sourcing practices.
However, this includes ensuring that the production of essential oils does not harm the environment, respects labor rights, and maintains the biodiversity of the area where the plants are grown. As awareness around health, wellness, and environmental impact grows, the demand for clearly labeled, high-quality essential oils is likely to continue to rise. Therefore, these factors will positively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The increasing availability of counterfeit products of essential oil is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The easy availability of counterfeit products challenges market growth. Essential oils are extracted from plants through the distillation process and exhibit the characteristic fragrances and properties of the plants they are extracted from. However, counterfeit products contain cheap seed oils and do not have any properties of essential oils. Some counterfeit products are mixed with synthetics to make them resemble the scent of the plant. One of the most common adulterated essential oils is lavender essential oil.
Moreover, lavandin oil is sold as lavender oil. Lavandin oil is chemically different from lavender oil and is commonly used in perfumery. Such counterfeit products will damage the brand image of leading essential oil brands. Thus, the increasing prevalence of counterfeit products will hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Online retailing offers tremendous opportunities to vendors operating in the market.

Also, online distribution channels help vendors avoid huge investment costs in physical stores. The benefits offered by online stores may encourage more vendors to offer their products through online distribution channels, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the online segment in the market during the forecast period.

Similarly, lavender essential oil and lime essential oil are known to control fungal infections in food. Hence, the quality of lipid-containing foods can be extended and preserved through storage and cooking by adding these essential oils that have strong antioxidant properties. However, the changing taste preferences of consumers can negatively influence the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, consumers, especially Millennials, prefer ethnic and spicy flavors. In line with this, the number of new product launches claiming spicy flavors is also increasing. These factors will positively impact the growth of the market in the food and beverages segment during the forecast period.
