Citrus fruits are native to India, Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, Indochina, China, Korea, and Japan.

Japan is specialized in medicines, cosmetics and related machinery, while Europe is concentrated in medicines and cosmetics. In the United States, it appears that plant patents dominate. The patent trend in the field of citrus utilization in Korea appears to be in the early stages of maturity passed the development stage in the transition analysis divided into development stage, maturation stage, reflux stage, and resurrection stage.
