Nevertheless, up until July/August 2020 prices for end-users in Europe and the US were still lower due to the previous year crop-stock of distributors and traders. These stocks are now running out and **prices are rising in Europe as well.** Because of COVID-19, the demand is stronger than usual for cleaning and disinfection purposes, while the demand for the automotive, fine fragrance and flavour (chewing gum, candies, ..) industries is lower compared to the previous years. Due to lockdown, people are traveling much less leading to a weaker demand for perfumes and travel-related food products. Although we do not expect prices to skyrocket like in 2016-2017, **we recommend to regularly keep an eye on the market.** --- #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/orange-oil-and-d-limonene-market-fluctuations) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/orange-oil-and-d-limonene-market-fluctuations&text=Orange%20Oil%20and%20D-Limonene%20market%20fluctuations) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/orange-oil-and-d-limonene-market-fluctuations) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/orange-oil-and-d-limonene-market-fluctuations&text=Orange%20Oil%20and%20D-Limonene%20market%20fluctuationsdescription=The%20current%20\(2020-2021\)%20Brasilian%20crop%20is%20expected%20to%20decrease%20by%2020%%20compared%20to%20the%20previous%20year,%20due%20to%20the%20alternating%20bearings%20phenomenon%20\(last%20year%20was[...]&media=https://27166650.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/27166650/Imported_Blog_Media/D-LIMONENE_1-scaled-Jun-06-2025-08-00-50-6433-AM.jpg) #### [FAMI-QS: ECSA is a certified company for specialty feeds Previous post](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/fami-qs-ecsa-is-a-certified-company-for-specialty-feeds) #### [Focus: Grape harvest Next post](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/focus-grape-harvest) #### You might also be interested in: ### [Methyl Cedryl Ketone: a woody and leathery note](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/methyl-cedryl-ketone-a-woody-and-leathery-note) [Purchase advice](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/purchase-advice) ### [D-L Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate: Antioxidant and Stabilizer for Cosmetic Formulations](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/d-l-alpha-tocopheryl-acetate-antioxidant-and-stabilizer-for-cosmetic-formulations) [Purchase advice](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/purchase-advice) ### [Hydrochloric acid: applications and safety regulations](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/hydrochloric-acid-applications-and-safety-regulations) [Purchase advice](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/purchase-advice) ## Stay connected ### Receive the latest information and news from the chemistry world [![ecsa chemicals](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/hubfs/ECSA_Chemicals_April2025/Images/logo.svg "ecsa chemicals")](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/) Social Associations and partners - [RSPO](https://www.rspo.org/) - [AssICC](https://www.assicconline.it/) - [Scienceindustries](https://www.scienceindustries.ch/) - [FECC](https://www.fecc.org/) - [Sedex](https://www.sedex.com/) - [IFEAT](https://ifeat.org/) - [SEPAWA](https://www.sepawa.com/) - [Bio Suisse](https://www.bio-suisse.ch/) - [World Chemical Distributor Directory](https://chemical-distributors.com/) - [EFEO](https://www.efeo.eu/) - [Cosmetica Italia](https://www.cosmeticaitalia.it/) - [Bioagricert](https://www.bioagricert.org/) - [Farma industria](https://www.farmaindustriaticino.ch/) - [Carlo Erba Reagents](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/carlo-erba-reagents/) - [Contact us](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/contact/) - [Catalogs](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/catalogues/) - [Suppliers](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/suppliers/) - [Career](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/about-us/career/) - [We Are ECSA](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/about-us/we-are-ecsa/) 2026 ECSA Group.
