Distilled Glycerin Monostearate (DMG) Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
In Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, Distilled Glycerin Monostearate (DMG) prices moved only just under 0.2% in Q3 2026, moving from just above USD 2,685/MT in Q2 to roughly USD 2,680/MT in Q3, and it was stable palm stearin costs and balanced orders from bakery and margarine users that most plausibly shaped the move. Across the tracked regions, the global average moved from close to USD 2,293/MT in Q2 to about USD 2,290/MT in Q3, a change of near 0.1%. For Q4 2026, a global average of just under USD 2,220 to 2,380/MT is expected, with palm stearin and glycerol costs, bakery demand, and food additive rules guiding the range.
Distilled glycerin monostearate, often shortened to DMG, is a white waxy emulsifier made by glycerolysis of fatty acids or fats and then purified by molecular distillation to reach a monoester content of ninety percent or more. It is used as an emulsifier and crumb softener in bread and cakes, in margarine, ice cream, and whipped toppings, and as a stabiliser in cosmetics and plastics, with bakery and dairy dessert uses taking the largest share of demand. Palm stearin and glycerol costs, distillation capacity, bakery and dairy dessert demand, and freight rates all feed into the price.
Distilled Glycerin Monostearate (DMG) Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for distilled glycerin monostearate through the end of 2026 leans stable. Chinese quotes for the base glyceryl monostearate grade were unchanged from August through October, and distilled grades followed the same pattern. Bakery demand has been steady, which supports the current level.
The main upside risk is a rise in palm stearin or glycerol costs that lifts prices above the forecast range. The main downside risk is weaker bakery and dairy dessert demand together with heavier export competition, which would pull prices below the forecast.

| China | 1,830 - 1,970 | Oleochemical scale keeps China lowest |

| Germany | 2,600 - 2,790 | Freight and compliance hold a premium |
