Germany, the United States, and China are the leading exporters of β-Lonone, collectively accounting for over 60% of global exports in 2023–2024, while France, Japan, and South Korea represent the largest importers by value. Imports into East Asia have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with tightening supply constraints and upward pressure on β-Lonone prices.
β-Lonone is a pale yellow to light amber liquid with a characteristic floral, violet-like odor and moderate volatility. It is a cyclic terpenoid ketone, classified as an organic intermediate and fragrance compound. Industrially, β-lonone serves primarily as a key building block in the synthesis of vitamin A and carotenoid pigments, including beta-carotene and astaxanthin. It is widely employed in the fragrance industry for fine perfumery and functional applications (e.g., soaps, detergents, cosmetics), and as a precursor in the production of high-value agrochemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
