China and the United States are the leading exporters of putrescine, accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while Germany, Japan, and South Korea represent the top importing markets. Putrescine prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. Export volumes from China have increased modestly since 2022, while U.S. exports have held steady, and European imports—particularly by Germany—have shown consistent growth, reflecting sustained industrial uptake.
Putrescine (1,4-butanediamine) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature with a strong, ammonia-like odor and moderate volatility. It is a linear aliphatic diamine, classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, putrescine serves primarily as a precursor in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, pharmaceuticals (e.g., antiseptics and antimicrobial agents), and specialty polymers such as polyamides and polyurethanes. Its main application areas include agrochemicals (e.g., plant growth regulators), pharmaceutical intermediates, and high-performance coatings and adhesives requiring enhanced crosslinking functionality.
A GABA precursor in many biological systems.
