China and India are the leading exporters of Padimate (CAS 21245-01-2), accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Padimate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from sunscreen and cosmetic formulation markets. Export volumes from China increased modestly in 2023–2024, while Indian exports plateaued, reflecting consolidated supplier positioning in key Asian manufacturing hubs.
Padimate (CAS 21245-01-2) is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, typically odorless and non-volatile, with a melting point around 120–123 °C. It is an aromatic organic compound classified as a para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) ester derivative. Primarily used as a UV-absorbing agent, Padimate serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of sunscreen actives—most notably Padimate O (octyl dimethyl PABA). Its principal commercial applications are in personal care formulations, particularly in sun protection products for cosmetics and topical pharmaceuticals. It is not employed as a standalone active ingredient in modern high-SPF formulations but remains relevant in certain legacy and regional sunscreen markets.
