The versatility and effectiveness offered by citrus oils are boosting their demand in aromatherapy. With the growing trend of health and wellness, citrus oils are preferred to enhance mood, relieve stress, boost energy, and ease irritability and anxiety, among others. Lime essential oils are also utilised to ease respiratory issues such as congested sinuses and coughs while strengthening the immune strength of customers.

Lemon oils are increasingly used to eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin, promote wound healing, relieve pain, and treat and prevent acne breakouts, among others. The light and fresh scent of lemon oils make them ideal for providing citrusy, refreshing, and clean scents, hence bolstering the market growth.
