In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Geraniol market showed steady movement with mostly stable prices. Demand from the cosmetics and personal care sectors remained consistent, driven by ongoing interest in natural and plant-based ingredients. Buyers focused on maintaining regular supply for fragrance formulations and skin care products, which supported steady purchasing patterns.
Supply was generally sufficient, although some producers reported careful management of inventories to meet the growing attention on quality and safety standards. The market saw cautious buying rather than speculative stockpiling, and this balanced approach helped prevent sharp price swings. Overall, the market sentiment was positive, with suppliers confident in continuing production at normal rates and buyers comfortable with the availability of material.
Further, the strong interest in botanical and essential oil-based products kept Geraniol in steady demand, but regulatory scrutiny and the need for standardization limited sudden growth in purchases. Prices remained generally stable, with minor weekly fluctuations reflecting routine adjustments in procurement and small changes in supply levels.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the Geraniol market is expected to remain stable in early 2026, supported by ongoing demand for natural cosmetic formulations and controlled production.

In the first half of 2025, geraniol prices in China saw a gradual upward shift, influenced by tightening raw material supply—particularly lemongrass, which experienced a notable shortage in the domestic market. This supply pressure, especially from key regions like Yulin, created ripple effects across the citronellol and geraniol value chains, as both compounds are often co-produced. Although merchant activity was slow in early months, rising demand from the personal care and fragrance sectors supported a steady recovery by mid-year.
Globally, the trend was somewhat aligned. Major exporters in Southeast Asia also faced limited lemongrass output due to weather-related disruptions, tightening global supply. Meanwhile, European and North American buyers began restocking inventories, anticipating stronger demand in the second half. As a result, international market prices for geraniol saw moderate increases, with trade flows adjusting to meet regional imbalances.
Geraniol is known to be a monoterpenoid that is composed of 2 prenyl units that are linked head-to-tail as well as functionalised with a hydroxy group at its tail end. It is a colourless to pale yellow oily liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in common organic solvents. It has sweet rose-like odour and plays a role as a fragrant, an allergen, and a volatile oil component. It is a monoterpenoid as well as a primary alcohol.

To produce Geraniol, essential oils such as citronella oils and palmarosa oil are used as a starting material. Fractional distillation of these substances, after saponification, yields a fraction containing Geraniol.
