U.S. Aromatherapy Diffusers Market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

The U.S. occupies the majority share of the North American market. Ultrasonic diffusers and nebulizers are the widely used equipment by the therapists in this region owing to the capability of the products to preserve the therapeutic contents of the oils. Additionally, the favorable law and regulations for the cultivation of essential oil crops is expected to boost the regional product demand in the forthcoming years.

The increasing need for relaxing and pleasantly aromatic ambiances at offices is likely to positively influence the number of products in the market. The expansion of end-use industries in emerging markets has also played a role in propelling growth. However, the limited availability of raw materials such as essential oils and stringent laws in contradiction of harvesting and cultivation is considered to be restraining factors for the aromatherapy diffusers market.

Ecosystem depletion on account of extensive extraction of essential oils coupled with growing environmental concerns regarding the disposal of plastic and glass used for manufacturing the diffusers is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period. In order to overcome such challenges, the market has shifted its focus toward developing environment-friendly products using bio-based BPA-free plastics.

Moreover, the presence of a large, unregulated domestic market in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, has been posing a threat to major multinational corporations, in terms of the low-cost technology offered, creating a price gap in the global market.

Product Insights

On the basis of product, the aromatherapy diffuser market is categorized into ultrasonic, evaporative, heat, and nebulizers. Currently, the prices of most of these diffusers are high on account of the lack of availability and awareness of these products primarily in emerging economies in Asia Pacific as well as Central and South America.

Ultrasonic aromatherapy diffusers are anticipated to dominate the overall market over the forecast period owing to their characteristics to retain the therapeutic properties of essential oils and create a pleasing ambiance. Ultrasonic diffusers use electronic frequencies to cause vibrations in the water, that break essential oil into tiny microparticles, thus, dispersing the oil in a fine mist.

The segment accounts for a minor market share owing to the availability of efficient alternatives.

Distribution Channel Insights

The E-commerce segment held a significant market share in 2022 and is expected to emerge as one of the fastest-growing distribution channels over the forecast period. An increasing number of internet users in emerging and developed countries is likely to propel the demand for products that are available through online channels over the forecast period. In addition, the trend of online shopping is on the rise on account of the ease of accessibility offered by e-commerce websites.

Manufacturers prefer selling their products to supermarkets and hypermarkets since it is easy to deal with one large retailer than to supply to a number of small independent retailers. In addition, supermarkets generate more sales compared to other channels as they have access to a larger consumer base. New entrants in the market opt to sell their products in supermarkets and hypermarkets, as it is an efficient way to increase brand awareness.
