China and India are the leading exporters of 4-Methoxyphenol, accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers by value. Imports into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest quarterly fluctuations aligned with shifts in 4-Methoxyphenol prices and downstream demand from polymer and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
4-Methoxyphenol (CAS 150-76-5) is a white to light tan crystalline solid at room temperature, with a faint phenolic odor and moderate volatility; it melts at approximately 51–54 °C and sublimes readily. It is an aromatic organic compound classified as a substituted phenol and methoxybenzene derivative. Primarily employed as a chemical intermediate, it serves in the synthesis of antioxidants, UV stabilizers, and specialty monomers. Its main industrial applications include use in polymer inhibitors (e.g., for acrylic monomers), agrochemical intermediates (particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators), and precursors for dyes and pharmaceuticals.
