The global citrus aurantium extract market size was valued at $3.9 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2034.
Citrus aurantium extract is a natural ingredient sourced from the bitter orange tree. It is typically obtained from the fruit, peel, and occasionally the leaves. The extraction process usually involves drying the fruit or peel, then isolating active compounds like synephrine through methods such as solvent extraction or cold pressing.
Rise in consumer interest in herbal and natural supplements plays a key role in boosting the citrus aurantium extract market. People are increasingly choosing plant-based options like citrus aurantium as safer alternatives to synthetic ingredients. Rise in awareness of the health risks linked to inactive lifestyles has also increased the demand for preventive health measures, pushing more consumers toward natural remedies. Rise in preference for clean-label, natural health products has led many brands to include citrus aurantium extract in fitness and wellness formulations. Moreover, rapid rise in obesity rates is anticipated to drive the market growth. For instance, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2023 revealed that more than one-third (35%) of adults in 23 U.S. states were classified as obese, which was an occurrence not seen in any state before 2013.
However, regulatory restrictions on synephrine content have slowed the global citrus aurantium extract market growth. In addition, limits on synephrine content impact the effectiveness of citrus aurantium in weight management and energy-enhancing products. Manufacturers struggle to deliver the expected results while staying compliant with regulatory standards, which reduces consumer interest and demand for these products. These regulatory challenges have also led to less investment in innovation, further hindering the growth potential of the global citrus aurantium extract market.
Furthermore, rise in demand for plant-based ingredients in cosmetics is opening up new opportunities in the global market. Increase in consumer awareness about ingredient safety and rise in preference for botanical alternatives have led product developers to include more natural components in skincare and personal care formulations, thus offering opportunities for market growth.
