China and Germany are the leading exporters of cyclopentanone, accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the top importing markets. Cyclopentanone prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing sectors. Exports from China have expanded modestly since 2022, while German exports have held steady, and U.S. imports have increased slightly—reflecting consistent regional reliance on imported cyclopentanone for specialty chemical production.
Cyclopentanone is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic peppermint- or chloroform-like odor and moderate volatility. It is a saturated cyclic ketone (five-membered ring) with a boiling point of 139–140 °C and a melting point of –58 °C. As a versatile organic chemical intermediate, it serves primarily in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (e.g., prostaglandins and antiviral agents), agrochemicals (including herbicides and plant growth regulators), and specialty polymers such as polyamide-imides. It is also employed as a solvent and reaction medium in coatings, adhesives, and fine chemical manufacturing.
This chemical is included in Fine Chemicals. See more about what is Cyclopentanone and Cyclopentanone SDS information.
