China and India are the leading exporters of Ethyl 2-methylbenzoate (CAS 87-24-1), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Import volumes in the EU and North America have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest upward pressure on Ethyl 2-methylbenzoate prices observed amid tightening supply from key Asian producers.
Ethyl 2-methylbenzoate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, sweet, fruity odor and moderate volatility. It is an aromatic ester, classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Its boiling point is approximately 210–215 °C, and it is typically supplied as a stable, low-viscosity liquid at room temperature. It serves primarily as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty fragrances. Key applications include use in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), herbicides, and fine chemicals for flavor and fragrance formulations.
