In Business Insights
June 05, 2025

The global Sandalwood Essential Oil Market continues to demonstrate robust growth, with its valuation reaching USD 139 million in 2023. According to the latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5%, reaching approximately USD 279.61 million by 2030. This growth is largely fueled by increasing demand for natural wellness products globally, particularly in the cosmetics, aromatherapy, and pharmaceutical industries where sandalwood oil’s therapeutic properties are highly valued.

Sandalwood essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of sandalwood heartwood, prized for its rich, woody fragrance and numerous therapeutic benefits. As consumer preferences shift toward sustainable and natural ingredients, sandalwood oil has become increasingly vital in premium skincare, luxury fragrances, and holistic wellness applications. The market is witnessing accelerated growth due to rising disposable incomes in emerging economies and growing awareness of aromatherapy benefits.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

The Asia-Pacific region dominates sandalwood oil production, accounting for nearly 65% of global output, with India and Australia as key producers. However, due to strict sustainability regulations and historical over-harvesting of Indian sandalwood (Santalum album), Australia has emerged as the fastest-growing production hub through commercial plantations of Santalum spicatum. This regional shift is reshaping global supply chains and pricing dynamics.

North America represents the largest consumption market, driven by strong demand for premium personal care products and wellness solutions. Europe follows closely, with Germany and France being major importers of high-grade sandalwood oil for luxury perfumery applications. Meanwhile, the Middle East shows promising growth potential due to increasing disposable incomes and cultural affinity for woody fragrances in personal care products.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

Several factors are propelling market growth, including the booming USD 300 billion global cosmetics industry where sandalwood oil serves as a prized ingredient in anti-aging and brightening formulations. The parallel growth of the wellness economy, now valued at over USD 4.5 trillion globally, further drives adoption in aromatherapy and stress-relief products.

Emerging opportunities include:

  • Innovation in pharmaceutical applications leveraging sandalwood’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties
  • Development of sustainable plantation models to ensure long-term supply stability
  • Expansion into new geographic markets with growing middle-class populations
  • Product differentiation through organic and fair-trade certification programs

Challenges & Restraints

The market faces significant challenges including:

  • Supply constraints due to the 15-20 year maturation period for sandalwood trees
  • High production costs, with 60-70 kg of heartwood required to produce 1 kg of oil
  • Persistent issues with illegal logging and adulteration in the supply chain
  • Price volatility caused by limited supply of high-quality Indian sandalwood

Regulatory complexities also pose challenges, particularly in India where sandalwood is protected under wildlife conservation acts, requiring special licenses for harvesting and trade. These factors collectively limit market expansion despite strong demand fundamentals.
