Germany, the United States, and China are the leading exporters of azelaic acid, collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while India, South Korea, and Brazil represent the largest importers by volume and value. Azelaic acid prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing sectors. Export volumes from Germany and the U.S. increased modestly year-on-year, while Indian imports rose notably—reflecting expanding domestic formulation capacity.
Azelaic acid is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, with a faint, characteristic fatty odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of approximately 121–122 °C. It is a saturated, straight-chain dicarboxylic acid (nonanedioic acid) classified as an aliphatic organic chemical. Industrially, azelaic acid serves primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty polyesters. Its derivatives are employed in coatings, metalworking fluids, and polymer stabilizers, and it is used in the production of azelates for high-performance synthetic lubricants and gelling agents.
