The rising demand for cosmetic products is expected to drive the growth of the rosemary extract market. Cosmetic products are substances applied to the body to cleanse, enhance, or alter appearance, and their demand is increasing due to growing consumer focus on personal appearance, skincare, and grooming. Factors such as social media influence, evolving beauty standards, and heightened awareness of self-care and wellness are fueling this trend. Rosemary extract supports the cosmetic industry by providing natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits, improving skin health, extending product shelf life, and meeting consumer preference for clean, plant-based ingredients. For example, in August 2024, the British Beauty Council reported that the UK beauty and personal care industry contributed $17.2 billion (£13.5 billion) directly to GDP in 2023, with an additional $17.3 billion (£13.6 billion) supported through its supply chain and employee spending, totaling $34.5 billion (£27.2 billion).

Companies in the rosemary extract market are also advancing product innovation, particularly in natural preservation for food applications. New rosemary-based ingredient ranges help food manufacturers replace synthetic preservatives while enhancing flavor, antioxidant activity, and shelf life. For instance, in September 2024, Syensqo, a Belgium-based chemical company, launched Riza, a 100% plant-based range of natural antioxidants and flavors sourced from wild, non-GMO rosemary grown in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. Designed as a clean-label alternative, Riza helps maintain food freshness by preventing oxidation, stabilizing flavor and color, and extending shelf life. Available in powder and liquid forms with varying carnosic acid concentrations, it is suitable for applications in meat, bakery, snacks, oils, beverages, ready meals, and pet food. Ethically sourced and free from pesticides or heavy metals, Riza aligns with sustainable food production and growing consumer preference for natural ingredients.

In July 2024, Syensqo expanded its natural rosemary extract portfolio by acquiring a controlling stake in Azerys, an Africa-based rosemary extraction company, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Syensqo’s capabilities in renewable, plant-based solutions, providing a 100% natural, non-GMO rosemary extract range that can replace chemical food additives and support clean-label initiatives.
