The Europe Eucalyptus Oil Market maintains strong momentum, valued at €56.2 million in 2024 with projections indicating steady growth to €81.7 million by 2032, advancing at a CAGR of 4.9%. This expansion reflects rising demand across pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial sectors, particularly in Germany and France where natural remedies see over 60% consumer adoption.
Eucalyptus oil, steam-distilled from leaves of eucalyptus trees, contains 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) as its active compound – prized for antiseptic and decongestant properties. The market thrives despite supply chain pressures from climate variability in Southern Europe, prompting key producers like Eucalyptus Group to vertically integrate plantation operations.
