Global aromatherapy market is anticipated to register a steady CAGR during the forecast period, 2024-2028. This can be ascribed to increasing stress, anxiety and depression among people caused by the changing lifestyle and containment measures to curb the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and awareness amongst people and patients regarding the benefits associated with the usage of aromatherapy. Increasing demand for natural therapies instead of man-made drugs, increasing investment by major players to expand their geographic presence is expected to boost the market during the forecast period. Growing demand for relaxation-inducing activities and growing technical developments and automation in manufacturing procedures as well as increasing industry research and development efforts will further create lucrative opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period. Another factor contributing to the growth of the aromatherapy market is the increasing use of essential oils in the spa and wellness industry. Aromatherapy massages, facials, and other treatments are becoming increasingly popular, as consumers seek out natural and holistic approaches to relaxation and stress relief. In addition to the beauty and wellness industries, aromatherapy is also being used in the healthcare sector. Essential oils are being used to treat a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, pain, and inflammation. The use of essential oils in hospitals and clinics is also on the rise, as healthcare professionals recognize the potential benefits of aromatherapy for their patients. The therapeutic benefits of essential oils have also contributed to the growth of the aromatherapy market. Essential oils have been used for centuries for their therapeutic properties, and modern research has confirmed their effectiveness in treating various health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Aromatherapy is also increasingly being used in clinical settings as a complementary therapy to conventional medicine. Another factor driving the growth of the aromatherapy market is the increasing popularity of alternative therapies. Consumers are turning towards alternative therapies such as aromatherapy to manage their health conditions and improve their overall well-being. This trend is particularly evident in developed countries such as the United States and Europe, where alternative therapies are becoming increasingly mainstream. Aromatherapy can help to reduce pain and discomfort for patients. Essential oils such as lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus have been shown to have analgesic properties, and can be used to alleviate pain caused by conditions such as postoperative pain, cancer, and arthritis. Hospitalization can be a stressful and anxiety-inducing experience for patients. Aromatherapy can help to reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and calming the nervous system. Essential oils such as lavender, bergamot, and ylang-ylang have been shown to have anxiolytic properties and can be used to reduce anxiety in hospital settings.
