China and Germany are the leading exporters of methyl laurate, accounting for a substantial share of global shipments, while the United States, India, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Methyl laurate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from surfactant and bio-lubricant manufacturers. Export volumes from China have increased modestly over the past two years, while Indian imports have risen notably, reflecting expanding domestic formulation capacity.
Methyl laurate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of approximately −7 °C and a boiling point of about 228 °C at atmospheric pressure. It is a saturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), classified as an organic chemical and specifically a carboxylic acid derivative. Primarily used as a chemical intermediate, it serves in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and emollients. Its main application areas include personal care products (e.g., cosmetics and skin-conditioning agents), industrial lubricants, and as a component in biodiesel formulations and specialty solvents.
Methyl laurate has a fatty, floral odor reminiscent of wine.
