The product demand is anticipated to be driven by the rising demand and consumption of processed food and personal care & cosmetic products globally. Rising disposable income in emerging economies like India and China coupled with population growth is expected to augment the demand for personal care and cosmetic products in the industry. In addition, the busy lifestyle pattern upheld in developing as well as developed countries are anticipated to augment the demand for processed foods & beverages, thereby increasing the demand for flavors.
Natural fragrances and flavors are costly due to their processing; and because of limited resources, industry players have developed cost-efficient synthetic alternatives. These products have the advantages of regular supply, steady pricing, and lower production costs. In the past years, there used to exist an arrangement in which dealers would have a multi-year contract with other dealers.
However, such an arrangement is no longer popular. Due to the increased awareness about the adverse effects of allopathic medicines, increasing concerns about the medicinal benefits, and therapeutic effects of herbal products are likely to fuel the demand for herbal products, dietary supplements, and herbal-based beauty aids derived from botanical extracts. These extracts are used in anti-aging cosmetic products to help reduce the radical damage caused by bioflavonoids in their composition.
Flavors and fragrances provide strong sensory impressions, often determined when applied via medical products, beverages, food, and other substances. These products enhance the aesthetic value and overall appeal of consumer goods. The increasing demand for health and wellness foods, Ready-to-Eat (RTE), and convenience meals, as well as rapid technological advancements, are expected to further augment the industry growth.
Product Type Insights
The natural chemicals segment dominated the industry in 2022 and accounted for the maximum share of more than 75% of the overall revenue. This is attributed to the ever-increasing product usage in various application industries like pharmaceuticals, aromatherapy, and natural cosmetics. Furthermore, increasing research spending for the development of natural fragrance compounds is expected to have a positive impact on the overall industry. Aroma chemicals are synthetic aromas, which are used in many applications, such as essential oils, food & beverages, and perfumes.
Aroma chemicals play a crucial role in the manufacturing of fragrances and flavors that are used in the food industry to enhance the appeal and flavor of the product. These chemicals are classified as phenols, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, and other chemicals. The use of natural products is on the rise due to the high demand for the exotic essential oil to be used in pharmaceuticals, aromatherapy, and natural cosmetics. The demand for fragrances where the odor value of a fragrance is replaced with natural oils is high in developed countries. Thus, many exotic essential oils like, sandal, junipers, rosemary, lavender, geranium, etc. find applications in multiple new blends.
Application Insights
The fragrances application segment dominated the global industry in 2022 and accounted for the maximum share of more than 54% of the overall revenue. The high share of this segment can be attributed to the increased demand for various fragrances in toiletries, such as hand washes, detergents, soaps, personal care products, and cosmetics. Furthermore, fragrance plays an important role in aromatherapy applications, owing to which essential oils, materials, compounds, and aromatic oils demand is likely to be driven in aromatherapy applications.
In addition, the growing demand for aromatherapy diffusers is likely to fuel the industry's growth in the coming years. Flavors are the aromas used in food & beverage products. There is a rise in the application of flavors in several foods and beverages in commercial as well as domestic applications. In addition, feed and feed additive manufacturers are focusing more on providing palatability solutions to increase feed intake. This, in turn, is projected to propel the demand for flavors in animal feed applications supporting the overall market growth.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific dominated the global industry in 2022 and accounted for the highest share of more than 32% of the overall revenue. This is attributed to the shift in choices of consumers towards nutritional and healthy foods and beverages in most populated countries like India and China. Asian flavors and fragrances have also gained popularity in the major regions of Europe and North America. Indonesia, India, China, and Vietnam are among the prominent food flavor markets in the region of Asia Pacific. Multiple manufacturing companies are focusing on the expansion of their business and investments in R&D facilities in the Asia Pacific region.
Factors, such as government subsidies, tax benefits, and high per capita income, are attracting global companies to expand and start their operation in this region. The Comprehensive Economic & Trade Agreement (CETA) is predicted to remove the customs duty on food and agricultural products and several other industrial products. The trade agreement between Canada and the European Union is likely to enable it to participate in public bids in Canada. This is further intended to propel the trade of essential oils between Europe and North America, thereby providing a significant growth opportunity for the essential oils & floral extracts industry players in North America.
