China and India are the leading exporters of DL-Mandelic acid, accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers. These importing countries consistently absorb over 60% of total reported DL-Mandelic acid volumes, reflecting strong demand from pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors. Recent trade data shows stable export volumes from China amid modest upward pressure on DL-Mandelic acid prices, while Indian exports have expanded incrementally since 2023.
DL-Mandelic acid (CAS 90-64-2) is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, with a faint aromatic odor and moderate water solubility; it has a melting point of approximately 118–122 °C and is non-volatile under standard conditions. It is a chiral aromatic α-hydroxy carboxylic acid, commonly supplied as the racemic DL-form. As a versatile organic chemical intermediate, it serves primarily in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals—including antibiotics, antispasmodics, and dermatological agents—as well as agrochemicals such as fungicides and plant growth regulators. Its applications extend to the production of dyes, chiral resolving agents, and specialty esters used in fragrances and polymer additives.
