The fragrance ingredients market is estimated at USD 17.11 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 21.94 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2029. Fragrance Ingredients are crucial for providing desirable qualities to products. Widely used across the industry, these fragrances are employed for customer attraction, more sale due to desirable qualities of products.
End-users encompass large-scale cosmetics brands, well-established personal care brands, emerging food and beverage companies, household products producers, and consumers who prioritize convenience and desirable qualities of product. The market's growth is driven by factors such as Innovation in Scent Profiles, Increase in Disposable Income, and the Advances in Technology and Extraction Processes.
On November 5, 2024, Robertett, a leading supplier of natural raw materials for fragrances and flavors recently announced its acquisition of Phasex, a Massachusetts-based pioneer in supercritical CO₂ extraction technology. Supercritical CO₂ extraction enables the extraction of aromatic and functional components from solid biomass or liquid raw materials using carbon dioxide in a supercritical state, ensuring high purity and quality of the resulting extracts.
Acquisitions like this underscore the increasing prominence and adoption of advanced extraction technologies in the fragrance ingredients market. These technologies not only enhance the efficiency and sustainability of production processes but also support the growing demand for natural, high-quality fragrance ingredients. Such strategic investments reflect the market's commitment to innovation and its response to consumer preferences for eco-friendly and ethically sourced products.
Synthetic ingredients also excel in longevity and performance, with many designed for lasting scent retention and strong sillage, making them highly sought-after in commercial perfumery. Additionally, synthetic fragrances contribute to sustainability by reducing dependence on natural resources and enabling consistent supply chains, unaffected by seasonal or environmental factors that impact natural raw materials. This stability supports large-scale production and facilitates meeting the growing global demand for diverse and affordable fragrances.
The CSS introduces stricter frameworks, such as the general risk approach, which aims to impose faster and more stringent restrictions on chemicals in both professional and consumer products. Additionally, the essential use concept provides limited exceptions to these general restrictions, while mixture toxicity assessments and the safe and sustainable by design initiative set standards for safer chemical innovation. These changes will bring a range of new safety and sustainability requirements, impacting the fragrance ingredients market by demanding increased compliance, reformulations, and more sustainable practices across product lifecycles.
