Synthetic Menthol Industry Analysis
The global synthetic menthol industry size reached USD 289.4 Million in 2025. By 2034, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 420.3 Million, at a projected CAGR of 4.23% during 2026-2034. Market growth is supported by rising demand from pharmaceutical and oral care applications, expanding use in personal care and flavoring products, and increased preference for consistent-quality synthetic alternatives across global manufacturing industries.
Latest News and Developments:
- June 2025: Researchers published a study presenting a novel green synthetic route to produce menthol from renewable turpentine oil coproducts, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based synthetic menthol production. The work demonstrates how 3-carene (derived from paper industry turpentine) can be transformed through heterogeneous catalysis and epoxidation into menthol isomers with reduced waste and fewer synthesis steps compared to conventional methods, highlighting potential industrial sustainability improvements for synthetic menthol supply chains.
Product Description
Synthetic menthol is a chemically produced version of menthol, a compound known for its cooling and minty properties, commonly found in peppermint and other mint oils. Unlike natural menthol, which is extracted from mint plants, synthetic menthol is created through an industrial process, typically starting from thymol or m-cresol. This process involves several chemical reactions that transform these precursors into menthol, resulting in a product that is chemically identical to natural menthol. The consistency and purity of synthetic menthol are advantageous for various applications, ensuring a uniform quality that can be difficult to achieve with natural sources.
Synthetic menthol is widely used in pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and the food and beverage industry. It provides a cooling sensation and minty flavor in products such as cough syrups, ointments, toothpaste, mouthwashes, chewing gums, and confectioneries. Additionally, synthetic menthol is favored for its stability and reliability, making it an essential ingredient in many consumer goods where precise formulation and consistent performance are critical.
