China, the United States, and Germany are the leading exporters of EPS (CAS 96597-16-9), collectively accounting for over 45% of global export value in 2023–2024, while Vietnam, Mexico, and India have emerged as top importers driven by packaging and construction demand. Import volumes to Southeast Asia and Latin America rose steadily through 2023–2024 amid regional manufacturing expansion, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on EPS prices.
EPS (CAS No. 96597-16-9) is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, typically odorless and non-volatile, with a melting point commonly reported in the range of 110–115 °C. It is classified as an organic chemical intermediate, specifically a substituted pyrazole derivative. EPS serves primarily as a key building block in the synthesis of agrochemical active ingredients, particularly modern fungicides and insecticides. Its principal application lies in crop protection chemistry, where it functions as a structural motif in commercial strobilurin- and triazole-class compounds. It is not used as an end-product but rather as a specialty intermediate supplied to agrochemical manufacturers for downstream synthesis.
