Asia
In the Asian region, Linalool prices treaded slightly lower during H2’25. Production costs decreased as raw material prices fell and freight expenses eased, improving supply efficiency. Strong industrial production and retail growth continued to support consistent demand from cosmetics and personal care applications, but the reduction in input costs exerted mild downward pressure on pricing. While the market remained generally healthy, buyers benefited from slightly more favorable pricing conditions compared to earlier months.
Europe
In Europe, Linalool prices generally softened during the said quarter. Lower natural gas and chemical input costs reduced production expenses, while high inventories and slower demand from downstream sectors, including Vitamin E and personal care, limited aggressive purchasing. Export activity increased moderately, but domestic buying remained cautious. This combination of weaker demand and lower costs led to a gradual, modest decline in pricing across key European markets.
North America
In North America, Linalool prices remained stable in the second half of 2025. Early in H2, production costs were influenced by a combination of falling acetone prices and rising natural gas expenses, which had opposite effects on overall costs. Demand from the personal care and cosmetics sectors stayed strong, supporting steady offtake despite slightly higher manufacturing expenses. Buyers continued to manage inventories cautiously, while trade policy developments, including regulatory relief and trade agreements, helped maintain confidence in the market. Overall, prices showed minor fluctuations but stayed orderly throughout the period.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, Linalool prices are expected to remain mostly stable, with small fluctuations depending on regional supply costs and demand patterns. Strong fragrance and personal care demand could provide moderate support for the market.

Asia
In Asia, the first half of 2025 witnessed a steadily rising trend with moderately increasing linalool prices, primarily influenced by India’s coriander crop. Despite a reduction in sown acreage, favorable climatic conditions in key producing states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh are expected to improve yields.
This higher output is likely to offset acreage concerns and maintain a stable supply of coriander essential oil, a major linalool source. Although demand across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors remains strong, the expected increase in raw material availability is likely to support regional price stability.
Europe
In Europe, linalool prices also rose due to lower lavender oil production, particularly in Bulgaria one of the largest producers. High production costs and low returns led to reduced cultivation and the closure of several distilleries. This decline, alongside continued demand from the perfumery, aromatherapy, and cosmetics sectors, supported upward price pressure. The shortage of ISO-spec lavender oil further strained supply. While stable output in Moldova and abundant clary sage oil offered some relief, they were insufficient to offset Bulgaria’s shortfall, resulting in overall price increases.
North America
In North America, linalool prices followed the global upward trend, largely driven by rising import costs from Europe. The region relies heavily on imported lavender and coriander oils, and reduced Bulgarian exports pushed prices higher. Continued demand from wellness, fragrance, and cosmetics industries reinforced the pressure. As global supply remains tight and demand strong, North American prices mirrored global trends.
Linalool is known as a monoterpenoid, that is, it is octa-1,6-diene substituted by methyl groups at positions 3 and 7 and a hydroxy group at position 3. It is found as a major component of essential oils of several aromatic species. It is extracted from plants like Ocimum canum, further serving as a volatile oil component and an antimicrobial and a fragrance agent. It is widely utilised in perfume compositions of almost all types.

While producing Linalool from 2-methyl-2-hepten6-one, 2-methyl-2-hepten6-one is transformed into Linalool in excellent yield using base-catalysed ethynylation with acetylene to dehydrolinalool, which subsequently undergoes selective hydrogenation to convert the triple bond to a double bond using a palladium-carbon catalyst.
