Aromatherapy is regarded as an alternative medical treatment that aids in the recovery from a variety of illnesses, including pain, cardiovascular, respiratory, skin, digestive, immune system, sleeplessness, anxiety, and wound-related issues. Women typically worry more about acne scars, and those who experience acne-related issues frequently choose therapeutic-grade essential oils. Numerous health experts choose single and blended oils that are crucial for treating stress, insomnia, anxiety, discomfort, agitation, stress, etc. These specialists include spa therapists, massage therapists, and fitness therapists. People are looking for little or no adverse effects because essential oils have medicinal effects. These procedures can also be carried out without the need for pharmacological therapy.

Therefore, a major factor anticipated to contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast years is the rising trend of aromatherapy among medical professionals for relaxation purposes. Female customers aged 0 to 14 only used Lavanda and Tea Tree oils, and 43% of them used these two essential oils on the breast/chest and back, according to a survey that was published in a journal in NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) on August 15, 2022. The market is expanding significantly as a result of rising disposable income.

For instance, the personal disposable income of Americans has increased, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). By 2026, it is projected to reach $24,174.5 billion, up from $11,394 billion in 2006 and $15,928.7 billion in 2016. The yearly growth rate (household disposable income) in Canada went from 2.05% in 2009 to 3.47% in 2017, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The demand for diffusers and essential oils is therefore anticipated to increase in the upcoming years as household disposable income increases.
