Based on about 800 popular fragrance formulations, which are used in Soaps, Detergents, Toiletries, House-hold products, Incense sticks, Attars, etc, we are able to provide a tentative data of global consumption of synthetic chemicals used in making fragrances.
The market data for Attars& Agarbatti is still not clear. The market data for the fragrance consumption for the regions like Middle East,Africa,some Asian region is also not clear.Hence,the data provided below gives some idea of global consumption of top thirty chemicals used in making fragrances.
We have also taken into account the global consumption of the raw materials used in manufacturing these products.
We have not considered terpenes like Alpha-pinene,Limonene, etc which are directly used in fragrances.
We have taken into account the fixatives& diluents into account as they form a major contributor in fragrance formulations.
There are about 40% of the same chemicals also used in making flavours. Some of the chemicals like Vanillin, Menthol, Eugenol, Limonene, Esters of lowers alcohol, Esters of lower fatty acids are as bulk as the chemicals mentioned below, but 80% of their global consumption goes in to making flavours. Hence we cannot consider them in to the top thirty fragrance chemicals.
The following chemicals are manufactured from the raw materials, which are originated from petrochemical source or natural source. Some of the products mentioned below are also used in polymers, drugs, pesticides, etc. Hence,the global consumption of such chemicals are much higher than what is mentioned below.
The following data concerns only with their consumption in fragrances.
