Market Analysis

A. Introduction

Citronella oil refers to a natural essential oil extracted from different species of the citronella grass, primarily Cymbopogon nardus and Cymbopogon winterianus. It is obtained through steam distillation of the grass's leaves, yielding a pale to dark yellow liquid with a fresh, citrusy aroma. The oil is renowned for its strong, lemony scent and is commonly used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and as an insect repellent. It is most known for its effectiveness as a natural insect repellent. Citronella oil contains compounds, such as citronellal and geraniol, which are found to repel mosquitoes, flies, and other insects. It is often employed in candles, sprays, lotions, and diffusers to establish a barrier against pesky bugs, especially during outdoor activities and in areas where insects are prevalent. Apart from its insect-repellent properties, citronella oil is also valued for its antifungal, antibacterial, and mood-enhancing qualities, thereby making it a popular choice in natural healthcare and wellness practices.
