Market Overview:

The global lemongrass oil market size reached USD 52.2 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 98.7 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.34% during 2025-2033. Rising consumer awareness about the therapeutic benefits of lemongrass oil, the increasing product utilization across the pharmaceutical and personal care sectors, and the growing popularity of aromatherapy represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Lemongrass oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves and stems of the lemongrass plant (Cymbopogon citratus), which is native to tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and South America. It is obtained through steam distillation, which separates the volatile oils from the plant material, resulting in a clear, yellow, or amber-colored liquid. The oil has a strong, citrusy aroma and is commonly used in aromatherapy, perfumes, and as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages. It is composed of several bioactive compounds, such as citral, geraniol, and limonene, which provide several therapeutic benefits. Lemongrass oil is widely adopted across numerous sectors for its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and analgesic properties and antimicrobial activity against various types of bacteria and fungi.

Lemongrass Oil Market Trends:

The rising awareness about the therapeutic benefits of lemongrass oil is primarily driving the market growth. The product is widely utilized in the pharmaceutical sector and various home remedies to boost immunity, alleviate digestive problems, and reduce body aches and high fevers. Besides this, the growing demand for natural ingredients, such as lemongrass oil, in personal care and cosmetics products due to escalating consumer concerns about the harmful effects of synthetic additives is presenting remunerative growth opportunities for the market. Moreover, the expanding use of lemongrass oil to repel mosquitoes, flies, and insects is creating a positive outlook for the market. Concurrent with this, the widespread product adoption in the food and beverage (F&B) industry for preparing drinks, sauces, marinades, and other food products is impelling the market growth. In addition to this, the increasing use of lemongrass oil in aromatherapy to promote relaxation, relieve stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve mood and mental clarity is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. In line with this, the largescale product employment as a natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent, especially in massage oils and lotions for sore muscles and joints, is aiding in market expansion. Furthermore, innovative technological advancements in the oil extraction processes and the rising focus on various research and development (R&D) activities to design economical oil extraction methods are contributing to the market growth.
