The global turmeric oleoresin market size was valued at USD 79.3 million in 2024 and is projected to expand to over 5.7% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. Turmeric oleoresin, a concentrated extract from turmeric containing essential oils, resins, and curcuminoids (primarily curcumin), is gaining traction in various industries.

Market growth is driven by increasing demand for natural ingredients, the rising popularity of functional foods, and expanding applications in nutraceuticals.
