The global mint market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.64%, from US$7.740 billion in 2025 to US$9.709 billion in 2030.

Mint is a widely utilized herb, prized for its refreshing aroma and flavor, and is commonly employed in culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic applications. The genus Mentha includes various species such as spearmint (Mentha spicata), peppermint (Mentha × piperita), and wild mint (Mentha arvensis). The primary active component of mint, menthol, imparts its cool and refreshing qualities. In culinary uses, mint enhances the flavor of beverages, desserts, sauces, and savory dishes. Medicinally, it aids digestion, alleviates headaches, and soothes respiratory issues. Its essential oils are prevalent in products like toothpaste, mouthwash, and skincare items, making mint a versatile and cherished plant. The mint market is on the rise due to its extensive applications in food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Peppermint and spearmint are particularly valued for their essential oils as flavoring agents in confectionery, chewing gums, teas, and beverages. Additionally, the herb's medicinal properties - such as its digestive benefits and cooling effects - make it popular in both traditional and modern medicine as well as aromatherapy.
