China and Germany are the leading exporters of methyl myristate, accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, India, and South Korea represent the top importing markets. Methyl myristate prices have remained relatively stable amid consistent demand from oleochemical and specialty ester applications. Export volumes from China have expanded modestly since 2022, while German exports have held steady, reflecting continued supply concentration among these two key producers.
Methyl myristate is a colorless to pale yellow, oily liquid at room temperature with a mild, fatty odor and low volatility. It is a saturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), specifically the methyl ester of myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid), classified as an organic chemical and biobased intermediate. It is widely used as a raw material in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and emollients, and serves as a precursor for amine oxides and quaternary ammonium compounds. Its primary application areas include personal care formulations (e.g., cosmetics and skin-conditioning agents), industrial lubricants, and as a component in biodiesel blending and specialty solvent systems.
Intermediate for myristic acid detergents, emul-sifiers, wetting agents, stabilizers, resins, lubricants,plasticizers, textiles, animal feeds, standard for gaschromatography, flavoring.
Methyl myristate has a faint onion, honey and orris-like odor and a corresponding flavor at trace levels.
