Rapid increase in the number of people adopting self-medication remedies for the common cold and pain is expected to further stimulate the demand for consumables. Rising number of clinical aromatherapy programs will continue to drive the demand and supply of consumables in the aromatherapy market owing to increasing consumer need for attaining natural measures.
