Agarwood Market Trends

The global market for agarwood is also seeing a growing trend towards the sustainable and responsible use of agarwood products.

Competitive Landscape

The agarwood chip segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.41%, increasing from USD 9.46 billion in 2023 to about USD 16.55 billion by the year 2032. This growth is fuelled by the increasing requirement for quality-driven agarwood used in fragrances and incense industries, especially growing regions such as North America and Asia Pacific. Moreover, on account of changing lifestyle patterns, natural and luxury perfumes have found a common place within society. In many traditional practices, the use of perfumed agarwood is innate to the culture of its people, and this ensures constant, guaranteed demand.

Challenges In Agarwood Market

Most of the issues in the global agarwood market today are related to supply chain management and sustainability. Agarwood is resinous wood from certain species of the Aquilaria tree, which is primarily exploited for this precious fragrance if its timber is not reined in. This kind of harvesting proved to be unsustainable, leading to the depletion of the natural resources; hence, the trade became regulated and restricted in most areas that occur naturally. The players in the agarwood market have to deal with these adverse factors in order to avoid breaking any laws that demand such basic measures as the ones provided by, for instance, the CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which tend to restrict availability and raise the costs. Then again, the issue of standardisation and segmentation of product offers comes up as another restraint that besets the agarwood market. With growing demand, producers are now compelled to be able to assure the end users that high-quality products can be delivered—this means putting in place proper systems of obtaining and processing the raw materials. This becomes an issue because the quality varies with the age of the tree, resin amount, and also processing, which is not easily predictable. It is critical that all interested parties also implement sustainable management practices in the building process for the quality, education of the levels of the market, and the years ahead of operations to reach successful outcomes.

Also, the growing interest in traditional and holistic methods of caring for oneself provides yet another positive index for the agarwood market potential. Agarwood is also added to incense and is used in traditional remedies, particularly medicine in Asian countries, due to its tranquillizing and spiritual nature. As the demand for different types of therapies advances, for example, including aromatherapy, more people are expected to use agarwood in incenses as well as in herbal medicine.
