China and Germany are the leading exporters of ethyl stearate, accounting for the largest shares of global supply, while the United States, India, and South Korea represent the top importing countries. Ethyl stearate prices have remained relatively stable amid consistent demand from cosmetics, lubricants, and pharmaceutical formulations. Exports from China have expanded modestly over the past two years, while U.S. imports have shown steady growth, reflecting sustained industrial uptake and limited domestic production capacity.
Ethyl stearate is a colorless to pale yellow, oily liquid at room temperature with a faint, waxy odor and low volatility. It is a saturated fatty acid ester, specifically the ethyl ester of stearic acid (octadecanoic acid), classified as an organic chemical and fatty acid derivative. It serves primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and emulsifiers, and is widely used in the formulation of cosmetics, personal care products, and pharmaceutical excipients due to its emollient and solubilizing properties. Typical application areas include coatings, inks, plasticizers, and as a carrier or viscosity modifier in agrochemical formulations.
