Market Overview

Heptyl Undecylenate prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 6.0% in H1 2026, recovering from USD 12.902/KG in Q1 to USD 13.676/KG in Q2 as undecylenic acid feedstock cost firming and recovering cosmetics and personal care emollient procurement reversed the seasonal Q1 dip that followed two consecutive quarters of gains through Q3 and Q4 2025. Globally, the average rose from USD 9.686/KG in Q1 to USD 10.267/KG in Q2, a 6.0% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 10.32-11.65/KG is expected, with continued support from cosmetics emollient and antifungal skin care demand recovery and undecylenic acid feedstock cost firming.

Heptyl Undecylenate is a synthetic fatty acid ester produced by Fischer esterification of undecylenic acid (10-undecenoic acid, a C11 omega-unsaturated fatty acid derived from castor oil pyrolysis) with 1-heptanol under acid or titanate catalyst conditions, followed by washing, neutralisation, and vacuum stripping to yield a colourless to pale yellow oily liquid with emollient, light skin feel, and mild antifungal activity properties. Undecylenic acid from castor oil pyrolysis provides the key fatty acid, with esterification purity governed by catalyst and vacuum stripping to meet cosmetic ingredient specification. The largest pull comes from cosmetic and personal care product formulation, where Heptyl Undecylenate serves as a skin-conditioning emollient contributing light dry skin feel, sebum regulation, and mild Malassezia antifungal activity in leave-on skincare, hair care, sun care, and scalp treatment formulations. Nail care antifungal treatment formulation, specialty deodorant antimicrobial and skin-conditioning applications, and medical device coating use add further demand. Undecylenic acid and heptanol feedstock costs, cosmetics emollient sector demand, and personal care antifungal formulation activity all feed into the price.

Heptyl Undecylenate Price Forecast for 2026

The balance of supply and demand for Heptyl Undecylenate through H2 2026 leans moderately firm. Cosmetics emollient and antifungal personal care formulation procurement maintained consistent buying. Undecylenic acid and heptanol feedstock cost firming continued to support the esterification production floor.

The main upside risk is a castor oil or undecylenic acid cost spike raising Heptyl Undecylenate production economics above the forecast range. The main downside risk is weaker cosmetics or personal care demand softening emollient procurement below the forecast.

Region 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) Outlook
Global Average 10.32 - 11.65 Cosmetics emollient demand and feedstock support
United States 11.31 - 12.76 Skincare and antifungal demand firm buying
China 7.77 - 8.77 Lower cost base keeps China most affordable
Germany 13.76 - 15.52 Energy and feedstock costs maintain premium
India 10.77 - 12.15 Personal care export demand supports firm middle
