The United States paid the most for Eugenol USP in Q3 2026: USD 37.20/KG, up 4.8% from USD 35.50/KG in Q2. Prices there include certification, testing and import costs. Worldwide, the average rose 4.9% to USD 32.75/KG from USD 31.23/KG, mostly because tight clove oil supply fed through and pharma buyers renewed contracts. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 31.73-35.08/KG range, with clove oil supply, purification costs and pharma demand doing most of the work.
Eugenol USP is the pharmacopoeial grade of eugenol, with a minimum purity of about 99 percent and tested for impurities. It is sold to makers of dental materials, such as temporary fillings and root canal sealers, as well as topical analgesics and veterinary products. This report tracks the price of USP-grade eugenol, quoted per kilogram, and is separate from technical grade, which sells at lower prices for flavours and fragrances. Prices follow clove leaf oil supply, purification costs, certification, and demand from pharma and dental users.
Most pharma-grade material is purified from clove leaf oil in India, China and Europe, using starting oil from Indonesia. Pharma-grade lots are sold in small drums at a premium to technical grade, since every batch needs testing and documentation. Offers for 99 percent material were near 28 dollars a kilogram ex-works in recent listings. Tight clove oil supply has fed through to purified grades, and certified lots in Europe and the United States cost more again.
Prices should rise through the rest of 2026. Tight clove oil supply and steady pharma demand support prices. Year on year, the global average has moved from USD 28.73/KG to USD 32.75/KG, an increase of 14.0%.
For Q4, the risks are weighted toward higher prices. What could push prices higher? Poor clove harvests, stronger dental demand or higher testing costs would lift prices. What could pull them lower? A larger clove crop, weak pharma orders or new purification capacity would lower prices.
