Global mint essential oil demand reached USD 177.88 millions in 2018, and is forecast to grow at 9.2% CAGR during the forecast period. The future growth in demand for essential oils is expected to be notable due to the significant increase in end-use industries such as aromatherapy and personal care, cosmetics, and food and beverages. The growth of the industry will be fueled by technological advances in oil extraction techniques.
The market's top application segment was spa and relaxation. This market includes several sub-segments such as aromatherapy and massage oils, personal care products, including cosmetics, toiletries, and fragrances. A significant share of the market for mint essential oils is also held by food and beverage applications, such as bakery, confectionery and dairy, ready-to eat meals, snacks, meat, poultry and seafood.
There are many factors that have contributed to the increase in organically extracted oils used in cosmetic and personal care industries.

In 2018, cornmint oil was the fastest-growing product segment. Other names for cornmint essential oil include Japanese mint and field mint. The oil is obtained from Mentha Arvensis by steam distillation of the leaves and other parts. It has many applications in the end-use industries, such as spa & relaxation and food & beverage.

Menthone, isomenthone and limonene are the main constituents of cornmint oils. L-menthol is the main chemical component in cornmint oil. It is used to make shampoos, body lotions and shaving creams. This essential oil can also be used in aromatherapy because of its nervine, stimulant properties. It is useful for memory lapses and mental fatigue.
Corn mint oil can also be used in massage and perfumery. Its antimicrobial, antiphlogistic and antispasmodic properties make it an important ingredient in natural and ayurvedic medicine. Natural perfumery can benefit from the strong, herbaceous and minty aroma of cornmint essential oils. This broad range of uses for mint essential oil is expected to drive segment growth during the forecast period.

Its aromatherapy benefits are expected to continue to drive the market for peppermint oil in the future.
In 2018, the largest market share was held by spa and relaxation applications. Mint essential oils are used mainly as flavoring agents and additives in cosmetics and personal-care products. The application of mint essential oil in personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and perfumes to toiletries adds value and aroma. These factors will drive demand for the product over the next few years.

The increasing awareness about organic and natural products is driving their use in personal care applications. They are used in aromatherapy, natural plant extract-based therapeutic treatments and personal care.

In the near future, traditional usage will likely decline.
In 2018, Europe was the top-performing region in terms of revenue. Over the forecast period, the main driver of regional growth will be the strong presence in the region of established industries like personal care, cosmetics, flavors and fragrances. Key end-use industries are being developed in areas that have been economically advanced early and enjoy a higher standard of living. The demand for regional products will be driven by a growing preference for natural ingredients.
Market growth has been further accelerated by the presence of European regulatory bodies such as the European Federation of Mint Essential Oils, which protects and promotes the interests of all stakeholders throughout the value chain. The EU Parliament and EU Commission are also discussing the possibility of amending or introducing legislations related to these oils. These regulatory trends are positive for the market.
Global market fragmentation is evident due to the presence of many market players, including Flavex Naturextrakte GmbH (HRF), Flavex Reynaud & Fils), India Essential Oils and Sydney Essential Oil Co. Vertical integration in raw material sourcing and manufacturing as well as technological advances are two of the key factors driving the market competition.
The market is consolidating with an increasing number of mergers and acquisitions of mint cultivation or distribution businesses. New players face higher barriers to entry due to the high cost of capital and advanced technology. This will likely lower the risk of new entrants. Markets are also characterised by balance between production capacities of different players. This will reduce competition for profit margins among market players.
