Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have recently discovered the use of oregano essential oil to combat the adverse effect of certain tough, drug-resistant bacterial strains. To infuse the essential oil into a water based bacterial ecosystem, the team of researchers designed nanocomposites filled with carvacrol extracted from oregano. Even as diverse uses of essential oils continue to be researched and incorporated in the healthcare and pharmaceuticals industry, the global consumption of oregano essential oil is expected to steadily peak in the coming years.

This is just one of the various factors boosting global revenue of the oregano essential oil market, which is projected to reach a valuation of US$ 7,452.1 thousand by 2025, up from a market size of US$ 4,572.2 thousand in 2017. This is reflective of a robust growth rate of 6.3% during the period 2017 – 2025.

Global Consumption Trend Indicative of Multiple Regional Factors Driving Adoption

The utilization of oregano essential oil across the globe is predominantly based on a variety of factors ranging from purchasing power to innovation in use cases. For instance, consumers in the First World are more liberal in the use of natural ingredients such as essential oils in their food products and cosmetics, cost complexities notwithstanding. An established awareness of the health benefits of natural plant based ingredients is the primary driving force behind increased adoption across these regions.

Then again, consumers in Japan and China prefer the use of essential oils in aromatherapy and skin/hair care formulations. Utilization of essential oils in countries of the Asia Pacific like India is driven by the cultural factor, where such oils are increasingly used in traditional religious and medical practices. Having said this, Western influence has slowly seeped into the rest of the world, and essential oils such as oregano are finding application in the food and beverages industry as preservatives and in the cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries as key components of various formulations.

Food and Cosmetics to be Largest End Users of Oregano Essential Oil

Personal care products use bio-active oils in shampoos and body creams and lotions and this has led to an increase in demand for essential oils in this industry.
