Rosemary Extract Market Trend Update: 2024 Review and 2025 First Half Insights

In the current era of health consumption upgrading and the prevalence of green environmental protection concepts, the market for rosemary Extract is undergoing a profound transformation. As a high-quality source of natural antioxidants and functional ingredients, the demand for rosemary extract has soared in recent years, and the market size has continued to expand.

In 2024, the global market size of rosemary extract reached 2.107 billion yuan, with the Chinese market size being 473 million yuan, showing a steady growth trend. This growth is mainly attributed to the preference of industries such as food, cosmetics, and medicine for natural and safe ingredients. In the food sector, as consumers pursue healthy diets and are concerned about artificial additives, rosemary extract, as a natural preservative and antioxidant, is widely used in meat products, baked goods, beverages, and other products. Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, rosemary extract can effectively improve skin condition and is added by many cosmetic brands to serums, creams, shampoos, etc., also becoming an important raw material in personal skincare and personal care fields.

In the first half of 2025, the market for rosemary extract continued to grow, but price fluctuations became a prominent feature. Affected by the climate, the main production area of rosemary in Spain suffered from drought, resulting in a 30% decrease in raw material production. The price of rosemary essential oil in the international market soared from $800 per kilogram to $1,200 per kilogram, thereby driving up the price of the extract. However, domestic enterprises, relying on stable supplies from emerging planting bases such as Yunnan and Xinjiang, to some extent alleviated the price pressure, and the price fluctuation range in the domestic market was relatively smaller.

Meanwhile, the adoption rate of supercritical CO₂ extraction technology in the industry has increased from 35% in 2024 to 45% in the first half of 2025. This technology can precisely extract high-purity rosmarinic acid with a purity of up to 99%, which is more than three times more expensive than products from traditional extraction processes. The application of molecular distillation technology also enables better preservation of the activity of active ingredients in the extract, further enhancing the quality of the product.

Currently, the rosemary extract industry is facing two major challenges: unstable raw material supply and homogeneous competition. The fluctuations in production caused by abnormal climate conditions, as well as the concentration of small and medium-sized enterprises and the lack of product innovation, are restricting the industry's development. However, with the breakthroughs in synthetic biology technology, it is expected to achieve low-cost and large-scale production of the effective components of rosemary.

Looking ahead, in the context of the upgrading of health consumption and the deepening of green environmental protection concepts, the market for rosemary extract will continue to expand. If enterprises can increase their investment in technological research and development, deeply explore niche markets, and create differentiated products, they will surely seize the initiative in this vast market and open up broader development prospects.
