Citrus Extracts Global Market Report 2025

The citrus extracts market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.32 billion in 2024 to $8.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to high nutritional value, growing demand for natural flavorings, growing interest in herbal remedies, increasing awareness of citrus health benefits, and growing popularity of citrus-based essential oils.

The citrus extracts market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to " $11.82 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing consumer demand for natural and organic products, rising health consciousness, rising disposable incomes, integration of citrus extracts in functional beverages, and rising trend of plant-based diets. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in citrus extraction processes, the development of new citrus-based products and formulations, the integration of citrus extracts in innovative health and wellness solutions, development of new extraction technologies to improve yield and quality.

The forecast of 7.3% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US by increasing flavoring agent costs, as essential citrus extracts from Italy and Israel face trade restrictions, affecting food and fragrance industries.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing consumer emphasis on health and wellness is anticipated to drive the growth of the citrus extracts market in the future. This focus is fueled by a growing awareness of the benefits associated with a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of chronic diseases. Citrus extracts are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that enhance immunity, aid digestion, and promote overall health. For example, in May 2022, a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based non-profit organization providing science-based information on food safety, nutrition, and health, found that 52% of 1,005 Americans reported following a diet or eating pattern in 2022, a notable increase from 39% in 2021. This increase was especially prominent among individuals under the age of 50, with popular diets including clean eating (16%), mindful eating (14%), calorie counting (13%), and plant-based eating (12%). Thus, the growing consumer focus on health and wellness is driving the citrus extracts market.

Companies in the citrus extracts market are concentrating on developing innovative citrus ingredients to cater to the rising demand for natural, health-enhancing products. Citrus ingredients refer to newly developed and enhanced extracts or compounds derived from citrus fruits that provide unique health benefits, flavors, or functional properties for food, beverages, and supplements. For instance, in June 2022, Givaudan, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of flavors, fragrances, and active cosmetic ingredients, partnered with Manus, a US-based biotech company, to launch BioNootkatone, a sustainable and clean-label citrus flavoring ingredient. This innovative product addresses the growing market demand for natural flavors while alleviating supply volatility and environmental impact associated with traditional citrus extracts. BioNootkatone is produced using Manus Bio's proprietary BioAssemblyLine Cell Factory engineering platform, which starts with a non-genetically modified organism (non-GMO) sugar source.

In April 2024, Berje Inc., a US-based provider of essential oils and aromatic chemicals, acquired Global Citrus International (GCI) and Acelim del Peru for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to bolster Berje’s position in the global flavor and fragrance market by integrating these companies into its operations. Global Citrus International (GCI) is a Peru-based manufacturer of lime-based products such as lime essential oils, while Acelim del Peru is a Peru-based grower and processor of lime-based products, including fresh limes, lime essential oils, lime juice, and lime peel.

Citrus extracts are concentrated substances obtained from the peels, pulp, or juice of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. They are rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, vitamin C, and essential oils. These extracts are utilized in various industries, including food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, for their flavoring, antioxidant properties, and health benefits.

The primary types of citrus extracts include orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, and others. Orange citrus extraction involves obtaining essential oils, juices, or bioactive compounds from orange peels, pulp, or juice. This process is carried out using methods such as cold pressing, solvent extraction, enzymatic extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction, producing forms such as liquid, powder, and essential oil. Orange citrus extracts are used in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care products, and nutraceuticals.

The rapid implementation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the food and beverage sector. Rising costs for imported ingredients such as olive oil, cheese, and tropical fruits are pressuring food manufacturers to either reformulate their products or absorb reduced profit margins. Beverage producers are similarly affected, with tariffs on aluminum cans driving up packaging costs. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural exports like soybeans and pork are disrupting farm-to-processor supply chains. In response, companies are adjusting recipes, increasing local sourcing, and using commodity hedging strategies to manage price volatility.
