By the method of extraction of essential oils, the market is classified into different processes which are Distillation, Cold press extraction, Carbon dioxide extraction, Solvent extraction, and other extraction methods (resin tapping and maceration). In Asia Pacific, the distillation method is one of the most widely used processes for extracting essential oils and dominates the market. This process is particularly popular for extracting essential oils from a variety of aromatic plants, such as lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint, which are commonly used in traditional Asia Pacific medicine, aromatherapy, and cosmetics. Cold press extraction, which is often used for citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, is also employed in Asia Pacific, especially for obtaining citrus essential oils used in food and beverage flavorings. Carbon dioxide extraction, known for producing high-quality essential oils, used in more specialized applications and industries and holds the highest CAGR for 2023-2028. Solvent extraction, while effective, is less common in Asia Pacific due to concerns about residual solvents in the final product and a preference for more natural extraction methods. According to the distributional channel of essential oils, Direct Distribution, Retail Distribution, Mlm (Multilevel Marketing) Distribution, Online, and Others (Craft Fairs and Trade Shows, Home Parties and Workshops, Beauty Salons, Alternative Medicine Practitioners, etc.). In Asia Pacific, the retail distribution channel traditionally played a significant role in the essential oil market and also holds the largest CAGR. Essential oils are commonly available in retail stores, including health food stores, pharmacies, and specialty beauty shops. Consumers browse and purchase these products in physical stores, which made retail distribution a prominent channel. Online distribution has also been growing rapidly in Asia Pacific, with the rise of e-commerce platforms. Many consumers in Asia Pacific prefer the convenience of shopping online, and essential oils have become increasingly accessible through popular online marketplaces and dedicated e-commerce websites. Direct distribution holds the largest market share whereas, the MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) distribution channels have been present but have smaller market shares compared to retail and online distribution. The Others category, which includes craft fairs, trade shows, home parties, and beauty salons, also contribute to the essential oil market but not have as extensive reach as the other distribution channels. During lockdowns and economic uncertainties, consumer spending on non-essential items, including aromatherapy and wellness products, declined. This impacted the demand for essential oils used in these sectors. The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, affecting the import and export of essential oils and raw materials. This led to shortages and delays in production, impacting the availability of certain essential oils. The pandemic also heightened awareness of health and wellness, leading to increased interest in natural remedies and aromatherapy. This boosted the demand for essential oils believed to have therapeutic benefits. Many people turned to do-it-yourself (DIY) projects with essential oil usages and self-care routines during lockdowns. Essential oils were used in homemade cleaning products, personal care items, and for relaxation, stimulating sales in these areas.
