The Global Sandalwood Extract Market is experiencing steady growth, with a valuation of USD 119.34 million in 2023. Industry forecasts project the market to reach USD 145.00 million by 2029, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.30% during this period. This growth trajectory reflects the increasing demand for natural aromatic ingredients across multiple industries, particularly in premium personal care and wellness applications.
Sandalwood extract, derived primarily from Santalum album (Indian sandalwood) and Santalum spicatum (Australian sandalwood) species, holds a unique position in global markets. As the second most expensive wood after African blackwood, its prized essential oil has maintained cultural and commercial significance for centuries. However, sustainability concerns surrounding slow-growing sandalwood trees are driving innovations in cultivation and alternative production methods.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific dominates sandalwood production, with India historically being the epicenter of high-quality Santalum album cultivation. However, Australia has emerged as a significant producer in recent decades through sustainable plantation programs, helping offset conservation pressures on wild Indian sandalwood. The region’s strong cultural traditions of sandalwood use in religious ceremonies and Ayurvedic medicine continue to drive domestic consumption.
North America and Europe represent major import markets, where demand is fueled by the growing preference for natural ingredients in luxury fragrances and premium skincare products. Regulatory support for sustainable sourcing in these regions is reshaping supply chains, while Middle Eastern markets continue their historical use of sandalwood in traditional perfumery.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market benefits from multiple growth drivers, including rising disposable incomes enabling premium product purchases, the global wellness movement favoring aromatherapy products, and increasing scientific validation of sandalwood’s therapeutic properties. Recent studies highlighting the anxiolytic and skin-regenerative properties of sandalwood compounds have opened new pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical applications.
Opportunities abound in product diversification, with innovation in water-based sandalwood extracts gaining traction among eco-conscious brands. The development of synthetic sandalwood aroma chemicals also presents alternatives for price-sensitive applications, though purists continue to demand authentic extracts for high-end formulations.
Challenges & Restraints
The industry faces significant challenges including long crop cycles (15-30 years for harvest-ready trees), vulnerability to theft due to high value, and complex regulatory environments governing international trade. Climate change impacts on traditional growing regions and the limited availability of plantation-grown mature wood continue to constrain supply.
Market growth is further challenged by the prevalence of adulterated products and counterfeit oils, which undermine consumer confidence. The industry is responding with advanced authentication technologies and blockchain-based traceability systems to protect brand integrity.
